Rules were a 1CC was awarded for completing level 20, with the game limited to the next 10 levels after that. So a 30 level challenge.
I couldn't face playing it as I hated it soooo much, but did ok in the end getting the 1CC and to level 27 before my will to live completely died.
No daft intro - this game doesn't deserve it...
another vid for the THSC, this time one of the types of games I hate. Kart Racers... urgh... and it's a pretty shocking one with a very poor frame rate.
Anyway this is my submission :)
just a quick vid recapping what happened in the latest game of season 11 in the THSC.

It looks like the game can only handle a set amount of sprites on screen at once. On level 1-2 there are trees that you can shoot to give 20k bonuses (and the trees don't get destroyed - important!).
I think the buildings also count to the sprite count, so if you destroy stuff only on the right hand side of the screen, eventually the game can't spawn the bird to kill you with the expiring time limit.
Infinite points a go go.
It's a bit cheeky but as I discovered it I'm entering it :)
I remember being in the arcades in Mablethorpe as a kid and being on this for aaaaages. I could make a pound's worth of 10p's last all day between this and a few other cabs.
Anyway this is a pure kick to the nostalgia for me - so thought I'd post a quick run.
I think the sideways scrolling is a bit off and needs a bit of work, and no matter what I try I can't pull off the 50k bonuses... but it still rocks :)
This time it's Gley Lancer on the Megadrive / Genesis.
Quite enjoyed it :)

The challenge is score as many points as you can. Simples.
Apologies for the daft over long intro. It made me laugh - if it doesn't make you laugh then I'm sorry.
Leave a comment etc and subscribe to be even more angry :)

Here's my entry for the THSC - this time Over Obj on the NES.
This game is sooooo very very good. But tough.
Don't think this will win...
Anyway as mentioned in the vid I used Google AI studio to create my own little game (in a day), here's the link so you can play it too :)

Join us! It aint too late!
Another week, another game, this time Atomic Runner: Chelnov around 1988 in the arcade.
Not gonna lie I hated this to start with then it kind of grew on me - could maybe 1cc it given another 6 months. I hate that pterodactyl...
Featuring the lost opening credits of the anime series of the same name. Honest.
Yeah OK I generated it using AI.
Because the scoring is mental I thought this would wind everyone up. And it did :)
Featuring some of the competitors from THSC in the intro ;)
The challenge was to set fastest laps on Sega Rally and Daytona, add the fastest laps together from each, fastest overall time wins. Sounds simple until you try to do the adding up...
Come and join us for season 11!

Just another vid on a classic shoot em up - Mushihimesama Futari Black Label - with a brief description of how the scoring works, a quick demo of how much of a difference the knowledge can make to level 1, and side by side 1cc's of how much of a difference it makes to the scoring.
Ends up not that much with me! But that could be because I can't turn off the scoring side of my brain... enjoy!
So I thought I'd fire it up and see what I could remember, and how far I could get.
Some way off my best score but not bad for a first go in FOREVAAAAAH!
Not too unhappy with the run but will be mid table at best.
Onwards and upwards!

I'm using my Fanatec DD wheel and while there's no force feedback implemented (yet!) I've used the awesome Wheel Check app to at least add a centering spring.
THIS GAME IS STILL AWESOME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!!
This time it's Yoomp on the Atari 800XL. Not a fan of this memory game / tech demo if I'm honest.
Anyway this is about as much as I can stomach :)
This last couple of weeks we've been playing Baraduke. Which is awful.
Anyway here's my score and another daft intro ;)
I used to play this to death with my mates back in the day, so this is proper nostalgia.
I'm playing using my Direct Drive wheel and pedals, but there's no force feedback... yet!
Get it from the link below and relive the glory days!

1 life on Super Mario, plus the score from the 5 minute game of Space Hector on the NES.
Enjoy :)
I think he will beat me in this - just can't get to grips with the ranking system (if there IS one!). Those bullets sure get fast!
It's about to get Sweaty!!!
I'm up against AmigaOldSkool in the THSC World Cup Quarter Final.
Results for round 2 will be around the same time next Sunday, 17/11/2024.
Enjoy!
1 Credit - get the best score you can.
Back in the day I could finish this without dying... but that was 32 years ago!
Go and check out the channels below - both great guys :)

Gameplay taken from my MiSTer FPGA PSX core.
Totally luck this one based on which power ups you get when, so just a matter of playing it for hours until you get lucky - like I did here.
He set the challenge to play any version of Rainbow Islands (one of the best games EVER!!!) to see how far you can get on one life.
This is my go - on the mighty PC Engine CD version.
Closing date to enter is 11th October... today! So hope I'm in time to enter.
Not really bothered how I do but I love Marc's stuff so thought I'd pop a shot in. Ooer hyuk hyuk etc
@marcgoesblindgaming2076 @raza_is_retro
Enjoy.
I thought this was funny, some of the voices are a bit off but it's all a bit of fun innit :)
Thanks to those taking part in the vid ;)
Or playing Dogyuun.
Or both.
The Devil Takes a Bride.
You receive a letter to say you've inherited a house. What do you do?
Maybe you should ignore it.

Willow.
I don't think it was picked on purpose for that reason but I really hate it.
I'd sooner play Joust than this pile of crap.
Anyway here it is with a reinterpretation of the movie at the start.

This game has a mad scoring mechanic where you juggle the medals to get them to the highest value, then try not to drop the chain.

I'm still trying to git gud at GPL, even after 30 years of playing the damn game!
Here's me trying a race at Zandvoort without any practice and with *hilarious* commentary.
Enjoy!
This week it's the piece of piss simple to complete, Thunder Force.

With a very quick and dirty video for Super Retro GP - currently a free demo on Steam ready to download and play.
Only 2 cars and tracks available at the moment but this gives sooooo many Virtua Racing vibes it's amazing!
From the speed of the cars, the handling, the graphics, the sound design - it's honestly amazing.
Here I am on my first play using a PS5 controller, will have another go soon on the wheel.
Go and get it downloaded! It's honestly brilliant!!!
