Retro Game Challenge - This week: Wings (GBA)

[Alex79]

Not really enjoying this one to be honest, struggling to muster up more than 8k at the moment!

[Suits]

Ha, yeah. I get that very feeling about an awful lot of DMG Gameboy games. They’re all just so in inoffensive and basic.


I liked the new Avatar.

[Michiel K]

Gun.Smoke and Gradius were my shit when we got our first NES.

[Michiel K]

Sqoon world champ!

Pretty sure Ben isn't aware of the strict 1 week deadline. He might still be planning to have a go on Mr. Driller.

[hazeredmist]

Well, my best score was 61440.

Well done Clippa!

Where is One Credit Ben? Pfft. He's all talk

[hazeredmist]

Sqoon world champ!

Pretty sure Ben isn't aware of the strict 1 week deadline. He might still be planning to have a go on Mr. Driller.

Not having this:

- First post explains it all clearly, 1 week, Sunday deadline
- Title of thread says "This Week"
- Title of thread changes each week
- He's posted in the thread confirming he's had exposure to the above
- etc

I'm sure we'll all regret goading him before he comes in and trounces us all till then, clippa will probably continue dancing like a butterfly and stinging like a bee

[hazeredmist]

Ha. The selector has been prodded several times and has finally delivered:



T2 The Arcade Game on Game Gear. Top Score. Deadline Sunday 24th November.

[Chopper]

His dad was self employed which seemed to involve him sitting around the house a lot with his shirt off listening to bob marley.

I'm self employed, and this is exactly what it's like.

[hazeredmist]

I might let one of you maggots have your day in the sun this week, I'm feeling benevolent today.

Yeah yeah you go and run because it's not a shmup. Pfft. No better than your nemesis Foreman. Next Michiel will be sticking up for you with fictional excuses

[Alex79]

Bloody hell mate, get your pals to sign up to the forum so they start picking proper good games

I'll give it a go. Enjoyed the Mega drive version back in the day.

[Alex79]

He used to cook rabbit that his friend had caught sometimes and it would stink the whole house out. My friend would got really, really angry about that.
I always thought he was overreacting but I suppose I didn't have to live in it, gagging on the gamey stench everywhere you turn, just trying to live your life.

Dear god, I thought playing the arcade version with a mouse was bad enough.

at Clippa giving it the biggun for winning two out of three.

[Suits]

The Game Boy version ain’t too bad either.

[Alex79]

Yeah, plus having to load each level by tape every time you got to the next stage!

[hazeredmist]

It’s shite, tried it a couple of days ago

I’ll be firing it up again later out of duty!

[Alex79]

Yeah I had a quick go and couldn't be bothered putting an effort in on this one!

[ColinAlonso]

Same. Got about 58k and decided it wasn't worth it.

[hazeredmist]

I got 14725

Congrats clips. Hoping for a better game this week

[hazeredmist]

Oh! No you most certainly can't accept the win then! Game Gear was the format.

@CoinsAlonso did you play on Game Gear (emulation fine) for your 58k? If so you get the win. Otherwise, I'm awarding it to myself as I did suffer the Sega handheld atrocity.

[hazeredmist]

Aye. I posted my score first in our Whatsapp group and begged someone to overtake me so my name wasn't tarnished with it.

[ColinAlonso]

Yeah, emulated Game Gear, with the death screenshot to show for it.

Not sure I want the win now.
