Huzzah! 

Decided to do a little better. Flipped it to 23,125. Played on the 7800 with a 2600 joystick.

....and I'm done! Love me some Zelda!

Only dies 16 times. Haha

Starting now!

I'm making very slow progress.  I'm still in the gathering stage.  I've gotten two heart upgrades and a bunch of secret rupees.  What's next?  Is it the white sword?  I'm at C12.  I may need a guide for this next part if memory serves. 
I'm trying to find more time, but my mom is having some very serious health issues that I'm dealing with.  Sorry everyone for my slowness. 

Coming for you Gannon. Hopefully on Wednesday.
 

Once the shields are gone I start each level with the joystick pushed to the right and the fire button down. Taking out the bottom 2 rows all the way across, then all the way back to the left for the final row. Smooth sailing from there. 🙂

I figured out a strategy when I was 12 that can pretty much let you play until you're just ready to quit. Snapped a pic right before the score rolled. 9,960.

21,945 - I rolled the score twice.  I give you my nerd-honor word.  Once you get the pattern down, it's only a lack of focus that causes death. 
 
 

I tried to take a picture before the score rolled while still playing but ended up dying because of it.  9935 on 1/b.  I'll try again later and you'll just have to trust me that I rolled the score because I'm not coordinated enough to take the picture while playing

Question. I scored 11,050 and realized the score flipped at 10k. How can we handle this?

I plan on spending time on this over the weekend.  Blasted work!  Always demanding more time :) 
 

Thrillhouse.

Day 2 on my NES. Heading to level 3 now. Took the time to gather heart containers, rupees, master sword, and every other item obtainable. I am using walkthroughs for the best pattern for getting these things.

Calling it a night. Level 5 tomorrow!

This time playing with a genesis controller

Cool. This was my most played Atari game growing up so I'm pretty good.  Lol

Think I'll stream this tonight. Loves me some Zelda! 

More details in the full interview:
“It’ll be on a number of platforms, It’s not initally going to be a 2600 game but it’s going to be a game that could be developed on the 2600 because it was designed on the 2600.”, he explains. “It’s a gameplay I’ve had in my head for many years, all these decades, I’ve never seen this gameplay done anywhere else. I think it’s a really exciting- people think what makes Yar’s Revenge well it’s Yar, its the glittering Ion Zone, that’s what makes Yar’s Revenge”.
