7,757 on game "L". Good enough for a patch, but not as good as the one I didn't take a picture of... Ugh! But here you go, Activision. Send me a patch!

Almost all of my controllers are acting up. I need to clean my paddles before Kaboom.

YES!!!! I DID IT!!!! This was pretty much the only game I played since Friday, except for a few rounds of Starmaster. I'm shaking right now. I don't think my heart has ever beaten this fast. 81,160. Put me on the list for Crackpots, @socrates63! What a exceptional game. 

Keystone Kapers Billy Club, please! 40,950 points. I'm on a roll... Sadly no puns like @RickR had. 

Four more Activision games that I have to go: Ice Hockey, Private Eye, Chopper Command, and Kaboom!

WOO-HOO!!!! I got 3,385 points in Kaboom! Now I never have to play this again! I swear, I must've played around 200 rounds of this; they go so quickly and I suck! @socrates63, please send me my Bucket Brigade patch in 4-6 weeks!


Only 3 games to go! Two are at my grandparent's house. I'll have to pick those up soon. I've been staying home so I don't get them sick when I visit!

@socrates63, please enter me into the World-Class Dragster Club. Using an emulator as I don't have the cartridge. Yet. 6.44 seconds.

I have used the Fire Stingray my whole life because when I was little my dad said the other cars were bad, and I just sort of went with it. I’m pretty sure I’ve never used the Golden Fox before.

Congrats everyone! This was fun!

I experimented a bit with the different cars.
Yellow - this one is easiest to do the rocket start trick.  But it's feels too slow to me.  Pink - I always drift back to this one because you can do the corners without letting off the gas and it's fast.  BUT it seems near impossible to me to do a rocket start with pink. Green - This one fits in between Yellow and Pink to me.  I can do the rocket start, and I like how hitting other cars doesn't impact (pun intended) him as much.  But I can't seem to beat my high score with Green. Blue - I had a lot of trouble controlling blue and it goes too slow.  I didn't spend much time with Blue.  

PS - for anyone that does YouTube videos -- a tutorial on the rocket start and bump-start with precise instructions would be a big hit (I punned again) with me. 
 
 

I’m calling it tonight. I’m very tired. Here’s my best time. It’s close but no cigar. This was fun, guys. I can’t wait to play again next year!

I need to get F-Zero for my SFC.  Great game! This was the game that made me want a Super NES.  It wasn't Mario...it was this game.  It's crazy fun and addicting.  And the soundtrack is perfect.  All around great game and my number one favorite SNES/SFC game.

My first shot. I hope to win again this year. 2’09”66.

I'm not a huge fan of shooters but I  can appreciate them. I'd say 1943 is probably my favorite NES game. Vanguard I play often on 2600. Not sure I want to spend $500 just to play them on the TurboDuo, though.

For all you Odyssey 2 fans with a 3D printer or access to one out there, I offer you these models I made! You can print them out and stick them on your game room shelf to display next to your Odyssey 2 collection! This ZIP file contains four .stl models to print!
Spyrus the Deathless, Timelord of Chaos! from one of the best Odyssey 2 games, Attack of the Timelord! Red filament recommended.
KC Munchkin! from the popular game of the same name. Blue filament recommended.
Muncher! one of the enemies from KC Munchkin. Red, green, orange, or purple filament recommended.
Odyssey 2 person sprite! is special because it is meant to represent two different sprites: the front facing Odyssey 2 person and the side facing one. Depending on how you look at it, it will look like a different sprite! This effect is magnified when using a light source to cast a shadow of the model onto a wall. This sprite made in appearence in many Odyssey 2 games, including (but not limited to) Football! Baseball! Blockout! Breakdown! Matchmaker! Alien Invaders-- Plus! and more. Recommended filament colors include blue, red, yellow, white, and more.
I hope you enjoy my models! I may make more in the future, and I already have a few Atari ones made I'll share. These are 100% free for anyone to use for themselves. They look nice on a shelf (I would know) and maybe it would make a nice homemade gift for the Odyssey or Videopak fanatic in your life.
Happy printing, everyone!

You know, over the past few days, ET has really grown on me. Thank you all for showing me.

I love this guy! I’ve been watching him for years. He did videos on Zelda and Metroid too. These new “declassified” videos are really intriguing. Even mega Nintendo nerds like me can learn new stuff from them.

One of my favorite songs ever, and interestingly it's not by one of my favorite artists ever. 🙂
