Lots of game playing tonight. More than usual if you can believe that.
Sarted it off with one of my childhood favorites, World Games. This one isnt exactly hard playing to beat since its mainly a versus game. My goal was to get the first place record in each event. I expected to have a little trouble with the Log Rolling and Sumo Wrestling, but to my surprise I got both of those records on my first attempt. Also to my surprise 3 events that I thought I'd ace right away took me several attempts each: Barrel Jumping, Slalom Skiing and Caber Toss. Barrel Jumping and Caber Toss used to be my best events so that was very unusual. Got it done though and even scored my first 99 (I think that is a perfect score!) on the cliff diving.
Followed up with some Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular. This was another one I played a bit as a kid. My goal was to get a medal. I ended up with a bronze medal, which for this challenge was good enough for me. The Pizza Walk and River Jump are both really annoying events so I basically had to do very well on every other event. If I could figure out how to score some points on either of those 2, I dont think a Gold Medal would be to hard.
Caveman Games! It just dawned on me that I must have really liked these ridiculous sports compilations since I played this one as a kid also. The events in this one are really goofy. Mate-Toss is probably my favorite, although Fire Making and Saber Race are also a lot of fun. Like World Games my goal was to get first in each event. Unfortunately there is no way to view all the records at once like on WG so you'll just have to take me word for it until the video goes up.
Followed up with some DK Classics. Just ran through one loop each of DK and DK Jr. That was enough to beat the default score and see all the levels. Quick and easy.
Next I tried to play some Dr.Mario and was doing very well, but then the game suddenly froze and gave me a little trouble when I went to start it again. I'll have to clean the contacts again before I give it another go.
Tried some Where's Waldo expecting another super quick victory. Turns out this game is hard as hell. I keep running out of time on the second level (of 8 I think). I did make it to the fourth area once, but that was only once. The graphics are so bad its really hard to find that jerk. Anyone have any tips for this gem?
Finished up with a lovely session of Jaws. I hate it. After finally figuring out what to do I had 4 chances to finish him off in the final battle and blew every time. You get 3 tries at it each time you get to him so I couldnt hit the damn giant shark even once out of 12 tries. It'll be a really short video when I finally figure out where exactly I'm supposed to stab him.
