Since my state's "Stay-at-Home" mandate went into effect that left me with a few extra hours per day weekdays due to no to/from work travel and to a lesser extent morning preparations.

I decided to apply some of this extra time towards gaming and re-learning and experimenting with ...

This is a question for people who know the "Turok 2" title quite well.

It was "re-mastered" years back...I purchased a copy off of www.gog.com and it works fine, but something happened just now which I've never encountered before.

For this performance, which I saved ...

Congrats once more to Greg Degeneffe for his beating one of my long-standing Atari 2600 records !!

This had me thinking...just what are the other 1st place records that I have attributed to my name after submitting to TG from as far back as 1984 (though predominantly from 1998 thru present) ?

I ...

Hello fellow gamers:

Just received an E-MAIL from someone questioning my Atari 2600 "Venture" record...Rudy.

I'm not going to bash him at all ...

(Note: this was originally posted to General Forum but I was asked to consider switching to a Wall Post)

Hello fellow gamers:

I wanted to open this up for debate...if there was a short-list for absolute-musts...achievements that truly show off the "chops" of a well-rounded arcade ...

The above link takes you to an interesting article detailing the current climate within which modern "money players" operate in terms of market-value, rewards and branding.

There is no doubt in my mind that ...

I'm reasonably certain that I never verified an original SNES "Kart" performance before (although I did watch MANY MK64 runs).

I was watching a YT video on the history of "Rainbow Road" and a most curious element of the video I thought was worth sharing as there does not ...

Recent submissions have reminded me of what a nuisance this title was to track years back. Yes, there was oil can gathering up front but as soon as that third balloon came off you went into the next stage.

I'm contemplating opening up a new category for most screens CLEARED based on the ...

In addition to ACAM, the world's first 501(c)3 arcade gaming museum, another legitimate one does exist for true nominations for a Hall of Fame...for games, not players or performances. It's been around since 2010. Not sure if it is also a 501(c)3, however.

Based in Rochester, I can guarantee ...

This is one of the tougher titles for the O2. I am reasonably certain that scores in the 2-3K range are do-able with a lot of luck, but the top two scores on the TG database, both from the early 1980's, are out of this world impossible or at least highly unlikely.

This is a single-life challenge ...

Time to vote for another year of "inductees" into the IVGHOF by no later than Feb 29th.

Last year I couldn't vote in Rudy when they abruptly invented the "morals clause"...but THIS year that clause seems to be missing so I think I'll vote him in once more - http://www.ivghof.info/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Official-Nomination-Form-2020.pdf ...

The arguments have been made, the decisions have been made, the scores are now gone.

Something for interested parties to consider but this would take a LOT of time and effort to thoroughly investigate.

I saw something interesting on a recent column ...

Thought I'd get an official "Bounty" on the books before the "2010's" come to an end. But I need some advice on the "when" as far as payment goes (see below) otherwise

I am offering $50.00 to the first submitted score in accordance with current TGSAP policy ...

The controversy never ends !! More than two decades before "King of Kong" aired, and almost three decades since the "Big Purge" played itself out on the TG forum, top DK players are looking back at the biggest cheater of all time on "Donkey Kong".

His friends know ...

This question is mainly for "SincerelyFranny".

I just noticed the following moments ago when checking out the leaderboard for the Sega Dreamcast title "Crazy Taxi".

There are several individual variations that no longer have a 1st place record holder. I've provided ...

I was just re-watching this awesome trailer when the voice of the female character seemed all-too familiar to me.

Does anyone else know if it's Lucy Lawless doing the voice ? It sounds amazingly similar.

One final post for me now that I've spoken my peace within the extension of the "Billy Dispute Thread".

Twice today when I made a post to this thread I saw a TON of text appear on the screen once I hit submit. I missed capturing it the first time but snagged it now.

Has anyone ...

Can someone please launch a score challenge for me...I do not have sufficient "cred" points with which to do so.

The score is my own...MAME "Puckman" of I think 398,440. I finally obtained the INP back to watch my old (and semi-successful) patterns and to share them with David ...

Once again US elected officials are blaming video games as the cause behind mass-shootings. Anything to divert from the fact that time and time again when these unfortunate situations happen a never-ending cycle occurs...and the real sources behind these senseless shootings are never addressed.

How do you "invert" the up/down controls for MAME so that moving the mouse up makes the cursor go up (and moving it down makes the cursor go down) ?

I haven't played an analog game in years and forgot how this is done.

Thanks !!
Robert

Makes you wonder what kind of living h*ll that TG admins would have if players were allowed to create fastest completion tracks for all 2 million plus of these levels, never mind how utterly out of control the submission queue would be !!

On the PLUS side with average performances all likely ...

Is this something brand new ? For the first time an ad popped up when I clicked on a score to adjudicate.

I saw the following pic posted on a friend's Facebook wall, and amusingly the first and only thought that came to my mind is how the following video would sound if such were the case !!

I think it would be a pretty cool idea if the original devs (hindsight) thought of programming perhaps ...

I was reading a CNN.com article on the latest "Zelda" sequel and while it does look nice and all, I do long for the days of the freshness and expanse of the original offerings for the franchise, the classic NES original and then the SNES "A Link to the Past", and I'll make an ...
