Then it is done, but I will hit round 99 nonetheless. Having way too much fun with this.
Then I will download a few games, like Pirates! to get out of the way. Securing physical copies of the games left won't be feasible, since we are almost done.
I pretty much spent the night up to finish this one.
Now on to mahjong and Dropzone. Hopefully I will get both done on this 4 days weekend I have.
I never played the first M&M, but damn, it must be shorter than the other ones.
I did start Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds, but I've never played this one, so no clue wtf to do other than walk around killing stuff.
It took me about 24 hours total to complete it. It is shorter than the newer ones for sure and if you know what you are doing, you probably can do it much faster than I did.
i've been working on learning nobunaga the last few days and finally got a good round going last night i've only got about 10 areas conquered so still a way to go to get to 50 but it's in a stable spot, i'm working on it and it should only be a matter of time

Excellent job.
I am sure you can get this done in a very reasonable time.
Holy crap! Every time I think this is going to start slowing down, we have a crazy day of completions like this. Maybe we will get this done by May 1st.
Do I need to play on hard difficulty for Mahjong? If not then that one is done too, I downloaded the PAL games to see how they were. Might have to try and buy a few of these like Noah's Ark.
No, easy is fine. But I think you have to win three games in a row to get some sort of message (or maybe best out of 5). At least that's what I read somewhere. Did you do that?
Ah I did not, I will go ahead and try that and see if I can find anything about the message.

I would have done it, but I found out I hate mahjong.
Good luck.
Also, the toploader is a great option for pal games, but I found out having a pal system was better and more functional for me.
wizardry: something something diamonds will be done tomorrow most likely. I over leveled my party. By a lot. So now I can just teleport to where I need to go in each level and skip the bulk of the stupid fetch quests.
And an hour later it's done. I had one uber charector, a level 13 mage -> level 13 cleric -> lord who I converted to evil, I'd take him and the party member I was leveling to kill murphy's ghost. I could bring a charector to level 13 in about 30 mins I think, so I'd level mage to clerics for the bulk of my party, then I just teleported to each of the places where there were armor. Then since you cant teleport to level 6, I teleported to the steps on level 5, and then walked the whole 3-4 steps from the stairs to the end of the game. Then damn near killed myself by teleporting 50 feet above town cause I didn't know completing level 6 takes you back to level 1; I just noticed the doors seemed odd and I couldn't find the steps, then I noticed my spells worked.
I'll see if I can dig out my power glove and try Super Glove Ball soon.
I hope you're not serious about the Power Glove... game is bad enough with a regular controller.
But if you beat it with the Power Glove that will be very impressive.
If you want a tip, you can build up lots of extra lives and power-ups if you don't rush through the stages, even though the tendency is to rush through because it's so boring.
That's pretty crazy how the list looks completely different this year. Scary, I'm looking forward to seeing what games will be worth next year.
Nice job, Ozzy! You dropped another RPG in record time. Do you do strategy games, too? I haven't seen anyone seriously discussing Gemfire.
I got up into the middle-40s of Tetris 2 today, and then I stupidly hit the D-pad and selected End. Of course, it had taken me several hours to play from 30-46 (or 47 or whatever it was), so I may not even have reached the end today. I am just not very good at it, but I'm not sure what else is left to play (and not being rapidly completed as we speak) that I am any good at.

I currently have control of territories 1-19 in gemfire scenario 4. This is the first time I've played it, it's seeming to be a bit light for a Koei game, I was expecting more options I didn't understand. Most of my teritories on the front have 500-999 troops, and my back end countries are very well developed so I think I can do another push to cut the remaning forces in half, recover, and do it again.
So yea, RPG and strategy games are my thing. I generally over-build my forces\teams, ect. Only nes RPG I won't touch is pool of radiance because it's such a piss poor port of one of my all-time fave games.
Damn, you're quick! Knock that out, and you're in good shape for a Top-10 finish. And you've earned it, given the games you've played for the challenge this year.

DROP ZONE (Mindscape)
-You go up in rank depending on your score. When you go over 1,000,000
points, your rank becomes "MEGASTAR". That is the highest rank you can get,
even if you score 2,000,000 points or more. Also, if you manage to get to
Round 99, when you beat it you return back to Round 95.
Which condition should I beat? Get Megastar rank or beat all the 99 levels?
If it is Megastar, I am halfway there.
Edit:
This game is hella fun!
I have reached MEGASTAR rank, and I will keep on playing till I hit round 99.
I am loving this. Reminds me of my days as a wee lass, crushing at Defender.
Then I will download a few games, like Pirates! to get out of the way. Securing physical copies of the games left won't be feasible, since we are almost done.

I ate some solid food for the first time today.
Hopefully I can stay awake tonight long enough to get some gaming in.
Hope you get better soon so you can crush some more games as well.
Also, @Nick
There's a lot of great PAL exclusive carts. You should definitely branch your collection out to include them, too.

I plan on doing that, I need to secure a top loader first though. I still rock the toaster!

So, these are the final 10 games (plus Elite for PAL, which WashYourFace is playing):
I just passed the halfway point from Deadly to Elite.
So I'm thinking another week to finish this.
Each day is about 40 minutes of killing the same ship over and over.

Then I will see what else I can take care off on the remaining list.
We have performing fairly well this year. This is good and makes me happy.
I would drink to that, but I am already drunk.
I am not quick. I was just able to pour a whole lot of hours on it.
And since I have tomorrow off, it will be easy to put in another 10 to 12 hours to complete it.
Edit: If you mean Ozzy, yeah, he is quick with those strategy and RPG games. It is impressive!
