Boxyboy is definitely a big one with 250 levels according to what I have read.  I'm up to level 79 and I have lost count of how many hours I have put into the game over the past few weeks since I started. I doubt I'll get through all of it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

I like Boxyboy, but you should probably alternate between it and another game(s), especially when you are frustrated.

Also, you might be more inclined to stick with Boxyboy if you play your own music whilst playing. It sounds silly, but it really helps (me at least) stay interested in many games...

Ha! This is very true, especially for Boxyboy.  I think I started listening to my own music around level 20 or so.

I'm trying to play through Boxyboy, but my motivation is starting to wane.  I'm up to level seventy-something and it's starting to get more challenging.

Since everyone is cooperatively beating all of the games, is it okay for us to cooperatively beat a single game?

I started playing Boxy Boy last night and after a couple levels that I spent a lot of time on, I started wondering if I would get to a point where I get stuck and give up.  Since the game uses a password system, we could easily post passwords further into the game and anyone could continue from that point.

In case you want to update the listing, Next Level Video Games (in New Jersey) has their Facebook page as their website (http://facebook.com/NLvideogames/)

Retro Games Plus in Westport, Connecticut is a newer store which has a handful of Turbografx games in stock. (for full disclosure: I work there)

[General Gaming / Re: replacing SNES game battery]

The best method is to use one of these and solder it in. You can also use a regular battery and tape it, but that method sucks. Don't forget you need a gamebit to open the cart.

This is indeed the best way to replace a game save battery.  Anything that doesn't involve soldering a new battery is not something I would want to risk with my game saves.  For someone without soldering experience, there really isn't a good (proper) way that is also easy.

The best place I have found to get high quality replacement batteries is from Digi-Key.  They need one leg cut in half to fit in SNES/NES solder holes. Unfortunately, I don't think any better fitting batteries are still in production.

I voted A because it reminded me more of Activision's sky than B.

I'm new around these parts, but would love to be a part of this raffle.  I'm sure I'll end up with a duplicate I can raffle off soon enough.
