Only three months left...

...is this doable?  There is maybe one game on here I can beat.  Furthest I've ever got on Yo'Bro is the giant ants...
#2
Hahahaha, I knew I would be on the top for the first roll. Three out of ten! Seems like the dice liked me, but for some reason they liked "dicer" more. ;)

Thanks for letting me a part of that, and congrats on the win! That's awesome!
#3
Test!

Edit: Thanks for saying that! Didn't know I could take that out! Awesome.
#4
What a great game!  Wish I could enter!

Quote from: seieienbu on 02/27/2016, 04:23 PMI've never gotten remotely close, but don't you actually beat Alien/Devil Crush if you get a score that's straight 9s?  Would that put her at around .5% of a complete game?
Nobody ever has.  Our high score forum shows that. She has second highest score on forum at about 85 mil from a few years ago.  The first page said the game would be beat if you could beat in-game high score.
#6
Hahahahaha, I was contemplating posting a topless pic of me for the second one, but decided against it.  ;)
#8
I got my girlfriend to look at this thread, and she said "I can beat the Alien Crush in-game score! Let me try!"

World Class Baseball is awesome.  Another cheap way to win is to let the huge lead-off guys start running to second and just throw them out right before they get there. 

I absolutely love that game.
#10
I voted Double Dungeons because I don't own it. I'd be awful trying to beat it though. I would try!
#11
Keyword: "can".  I mean, I'm sure someone, somewhere would.  ;)
#12
My girlfriend will love this.  Me me me!

EDIT: I had 99 posts as of this post.  How awful.
#13
The two Bonks, BL and DC get my vote.  Wanted to vote for MM too, but only allowed four votes!
#14
Yay, winner!  :D

EDIT: Just noticed I never got entered in the contest.  :(  Oh, well!  Next Halloween.  ;)
#15
Genesis?  Awesome!  Maybe you all should be a part of this project.  :)
#16
Awesome. This response makes me happy.

(Nulltard: she has two sisters. 18 and 16. Neither could tell you what a TurboGrafx is.
#17
Bumping this because it is my topic and I think we may bring this back/start it over. We have starting streaming on Twitch, and I thought this might be a fun project to look at again. At the very least, find those games that we absolutely adore.

Would anyone be interested in this?
#18
When my dad fell in love with Bomberman, I had no choice but to follow suit.  When I first beat Bomberman '93, it was as if he was passing the torch.  I never looked back.

Bomberman '93 is one of the most colourful games I've ever played, and I've always had a blast (pun intended).  So many great characters, and such an epic final fight.  I loooove it.
#19
I actually really like Yo Bro.  I never was able to beat the Ant level, but I always had a blast getting there.

Also, Tale Spin can be a lot of fun.  I've beaten the game many a time.

Deep Blue?  Not a chance.  Gunboat?  Really hard to enjoy.  I remember buying the game as a kid, and the store clerk begged me not to.  Only games they had were that, and the Tennis game.
#20
Oh my goodness!  I have to get in this!
#21
Oh, man.  I think this might be my new project.
#22
So sad that I don't have 200 posts.  Even sadder that I already own the game.  Oh well~

Maybe next Halloween~
#23
I would LOVE to contribute some writing to this. Particularly, Bomberman, which was the game that got me into gaming.  My dad would play the game all the time. He'd never use passwords. 1-1 to 8-8 every time, if he could.  I still remember my sister and I playing outside, when my mom first called and said "COME INSIDE! YOUR DAD BEAT THE GAME!"

We all ran in, watched the ending, and my dad was so happy.  It was amazing, and I will never forget it.  It's the only video game he ever played that much.  He wouldn't always beat it, but he'd usually play for a few hours before either dying, or getting stuck without the detonator, or "control" as we called it. 

So glad I came back to the forum today.  I missed TG16 discussion.
#24
Congrats on crushing my girlfriend's record. She hasn't played in a year. I wonder if this will inspire her.

Awesome.
Damn! How many hours did it take for her to rack up such a high score?
Hahahaha, funny thing about this.

In the first photo, I actually had a shot of her topless in the background of the TV.  One of the nice members here brought it to my attention, so I cropped it out.  That's why I giggled when I saw "rack" up the score.

Anyway, she did the first part in about 4 hours or so, went to bed, continued the next day.  I didn't realize it had been so long since I've been to the forum.  :(
#26
At least I beat galam!  ;)

Congrats on the win!
#27
Ooooh! Me too!
#28
I received Military Madness today and I am PUMPED to play it.  I wonder if it can compete with Bonk's Revenge, Blazing Lazers, etc.
#29
I won too, as my set of pins is coming in and it barely cost me anything!  ;)

Let's all win~
#30
Received my package.  Everything was in great condition.  I will note that Bardoly packs everything really well which makes it difficult to open when you're in a rush to see the games.  Had to wait until I got home and everything!  ;)

Honestly, great seller, and I'm sure I'll buy again soon.
#31
Wow, that duck looks AWESOME.
#32
I'll trade my near-mint Gunboat for $100.

Really.  In fact, there are several mints next to it.

(There aren't any mints near it at all, actually.)
#33
When you say "custom-ordered", does that refer to pins NOT shown, or pins not in the Donkey Kong/Mario/Pac-Man, etc?
#34
It feels good to know the community avoided being scammed.  Good work, everyone.  <3!
#35
Hahahahaha, that's awesome.
#36
Only $9?

Wow, throw me in the raffle and put me down as a potential buyer too.  Great idea!

EDIT: Noticed the "request" part too.  Imagine the set of 9 you could get.  Bonk, Bomberman, standard TG16/PCE logos... freakin' brilliant.
#37
Holy woah, I won something!  I was in the process of PMing him when I was PMed asking for the address.  Now *that* is timing!
#38
I'm pretty sure the bulk of this community would be fine with you selling it to wmac.

I mean, you do realize nobody else would trust you at this point, right?  Sell to wmac, prove you're legit, and join a wonderful community.  Either way, you'll never be trusted her under these circumstances.  Maybe you can get away with this stuff at another forum, but we look out for each other here.  Earn our trust, or continue coming off as shady.  Up to you.
#39
I just watched the World Class Baseball and I was shocked when you said the fielders may not be in the right place.  The shadows WOULD screw somebody up, but until you mentioned them, I never noticed.  I always followed the ball.  I also started playing this game in 1991, so how did I never notice?  :)

Love watching these reviews every so often.
#40
Hahahaha, amazing.  :D
#41
Photos to come soon, but World Class Baseball is finally beat.  7-6 win in final game, after almost giving up a two run HR in the bottom of the ninth.  Yuck.
#42
HuCard will suffice.
#43
Hahaha, excellent reply.  <3.
#44
I'm in also.  :)
#45
If I win, and pay for shipping, will you send to Canada?  :(
#47

Awesome.

Graph paper, eh?  Interesting!  I started a new file on Ys for the first time, and woooooah.  Interesting battle controls.  Never played anything where you have to walk into the enemies.  :)

Wanted to play today, but the girlfriend is on a hero-run on Alien Crush and is about to break 67 million with two balls left.
#49
We went to sleep last night when she was at 62mil with three balls.  She now has two left, and 64 million.  She is so pumped to have a shot at the top spot.  How cool is that?

EDIT: 69,725,000 with a ball to go.

EDIT: She is down to last ball (unless she spins lucky) and just cracked 80 million.  Scratch that, she just earned an extra ball.
#50
Scratch that.  She just passed turbo's score, and has reached 24.5 million, without losing a ball yet.  So much for going to bed early!

EDIT: 35mil, no lost balls.

EDIT #2: She got to 43mil before losing a ball.  Seven remain.
