There's a Gameboy version of Clue that's pretty good if you want to play but can't find two extra people.  Also on other systems too.  NES, for example.  I've got a couple of board game GBA carts that I like to take with me on airplane trips.  Usually three games per cart, and the computer makes a good opponent. 
 

Did anyone ever play "Clue: The Great Museum Caper"? That game was indeed great! They ought to re-release that one.

I've really been into Clue lately. My brother got me this board game for Christmas a few months ago. The only problem is trying to find a time when my family actually wants to play it with me.

WINNER: Justin
Xevious
Atari 7800

ROUND 1: @RadioPoultry
ROUND 2: @Justin
ROUND 3: @Justin
 
RadioPoultry is a SERIOUS contender and this was a great game to play! He's a gentleman and a great guy to play against. The Atari 7800 really shines with Xevious as @kamakazi20012 was just saying, it feels like legit arcade action with a ton of stuff moving around the screen and zero slowdown. This match was particularly fun because Radio and I both got farther in Xevious than either of us ever had. Radio always posts incredible scores, when I sat down to play this morning I thought I was done for. I barely squeaked by, and RadioPoultry and I had a very close game. Hope to play again!

I completely agree with this.  It works, but it makes the game a touch more frustrating than it needs to be.  Maybe it's just me and my limited amount of time to play games, but I can't stand when it takes a lot of trial and error just to progress.  A challenge is fine, but I don't have a lot of time to waste.
 

I totally get what you're saying Justin.  I remember not really trying Mario 64 until after some of the 3D computer classics like Descent, Wolfenstein, Doom, Magic Carpet, etc.  So I'm kind of in the same boat.  The game itself is a technical marvel, but the gameplay seems a little dry and maybe even tired.
Still, it's the presentation that makes the game a masterpiece.  The opening screen with Mario's giant 3D head and voice is still amazing to see.  Nintendo knew how to dress-up their games, that's for sure.
 

"Where did YOU learn to fly?"

took this pic awhile ago ...figgered it'd make good wall paper every once inawhile they will fall off the little ledger I have there
I look for 'em at thrifts open 'em up the instructions usually have a parts list so I'll take the time too see if it's complete I try and find stuff from the earliest patent of the game (like first editions I guess) ... IMHO ... if it looks old its pretty cool ... my family doesn't alway agree ... I still haven't played my 1934 Monopoly yet ;"(
for family gatherings I usually take 4 or 5 games with me. they also have favorites of their own. some winners I brought were "The Amazing Race", "Score Four", "Trouble", "Dynamite Shack" ... they always have a "scabble-off" "Settlers of Catan" ( or just Catan ) is wildly popular
the card games like D&D ain't my thing
I would like to learn how to play "Go" I have one with the stones & all .... one of these days I guess 
 
 

Great topic!

I still have most of the classic board games from childhood:  Life, Monopoly, Yahtzee, Risk, etc.  Inside the box, you'll find hand-written "records" my brother created when he creamed us. 

This week at home, my family has so far played:  Scrabble (RickR the Dad won in a surprise victory), and Scattergories (oldest son won in a close 4-way battle). 

A nice silent 1844

Great score @TrekMD!  I'm not sure I can beat that one, but I'll try.  I also prefer no sound.  It's just a little less distracting.

I have a new score!  And I got it with the sound off!  LOL
 

Like I said, my Harmony SD card badly needs a cleanup. 

It's a very fun game.  My only change would be to make it get harder faster.  Those fast sharks are vicious! 

Thanks guys, and I do apologize for running that extended version.  I need to spend some time cleaning up my harmony cart "homebrews" directory.  There's a lot of extra versions.  But it's a daunting task.  So many files. 
 

I think extended version was made only because people were maxing out the score and I think perhaps it doesn't revert back to zero.
I am guessing the extra digit capabilities makes the ROM size much larger than the origonal 2k
I dunno the file size of what's on my cart
ok the AA store says the filesize is 8k .... NOW the question is .... what's that 2k file that's on your Harmony :P
I'm ok with the 1368 score just put an asterix beside it 😉

1600 with the version in the first post.  Sorry for causing any confusion. 

Anyways, here's the last score I got with my copy from AtariAge:
1488

I just figured out why.  Firefox won't download it!  It thinks the file is infected (probably since the site is marked as infected).  So I had a zero byte file.  I've downloaded it using Chrome and am playing on Stella now.  No worries, I don't mind removing my other score.  I'll post another soon.

The file that Justin posted in the original post does not work on my Harmony cart.  But I found three versions of the same game already on my harmony.  They are shown below.  I chose the "extended" version, which I assume is newest based on the timestamp.
Should we disqualify my score?  I can use the Justin bin file on Stella instead.  Which file are you all using?  The Justin version only shows 2 downloads. 

On second thought...it's not too bad a price -- it's only $1 per "Where did YOU learn to fly?" on a game of Cybermorph.
