ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Definitely my best game of #Atari2600 HERO but the patch score is 75000. If I move slowly and carefully in the later levels, I won’t have enough power or dynamite for the bonus points I sorely need. This one is really tough. #activisionpatch #highscore 010
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Back to trying for the #activisionpatch score for HERO for #atari2600 which is 75000. Got a ways to go. 001
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Nice! Although Xevious seems mistimed given that the titles from my carts might correspond to earlier 80s systems like General Instrument systems or Soundic SD-200. 110
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Maybe Xbox can retaliate by promising disc based releases for another decade in ironic comeuppance to regain market share. 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 14/05/2026This excellent 8x11 magazine like promo from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is missing one major thing it should have - a volume and issue number. 100
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Starting on HERO, best for today so far. Made it to a level I don't remember seeing and it's starting to get weird. #ActivisionPatch #Atari2600 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Best Dragster score today and it's worse than before. I read up a bit on Todd Rogers record and as I need some strategy help. 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Shocked I improved my score after hundreds of runs on #Atari2600 Drag Race. I'm thinking the key is popping the clutch. Target #ActivisionPatch score is 6 seconds. An obvious strategy that I didn't know at first is moving the joystick right resets, so you don't have to lean over to the console. 000

ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Working on the Pressure Cooker patch score which is 45000. That seems like a long way to go. I'm only making it to the third wave. #ActivisionPatch #Atari2600 010
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Big fan of the VideoBrain computer system. The crowd watching the ball is a nice touch on pong-alike Tennis for the system. 010
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Pitfall patch score, got it on my first try. I didn't go underground once for this, I just ran to the right. #ActivisionPatch #Atari2600 #retrogaming 000

ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 22/04/2025The ChuChu Rocket single or two player challenges are definitely worth playing. Multiplayer is certainly a staple. #Dreamcast 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 22/04/2025I wonder if anyone bought the full set of 225 Eamon in 1986? #AppleII #Computist magazine #81 051
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Unfortunately I confirmed it's in storage. If I see the box with it, I'll try to pull it but it may be a few years before I see it again. 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 04/04/2025According to my inventory, I do have Troll Hole Adventure but I do not have and have not confirmed Mysterious Mansion, but if you have the manual, it's promising that it was released. I'll have to look into whether Troll Hole is handy or in storage at the moment. 100
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I enjoy collecting the Interact. It enjoyed several years of support from the companies that sold it over the years through zines and catalogs. 100
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Got the Activision patch time for Sky Jinks 36.63 and the goal is less than 37 seconds no missed gates on game 1. It took me two sessions, maybe an hour total of gameplay. #Atari2600 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Started working on the Sky Jinks Activision patch for #Atari2600 The goal is 37 seconds on course 1. Probably a matter of memorizing the course and maximizing of he boost you get from the button press. #retrogaming 000
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 08/03/2025A marathon game of Tapper on Colecovision difficulty 2, probably should have gone harder. 010

ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 21/12/2024First match Intellivision Time Pilot did better than I ever did in the arcade. It might be a little easy but the auto-fire option helps a lot. 010
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 20/12/2024I come from a time when being promoted to Boatswain was enough. #AppleII #wavynavy 030
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 05/09/2024Megamania first try #ActivisionPatch #Atari2600 #retrogaming 010
ianoid @ianoid.bsky.social · 05/09/2024Another Activision patch score. Starmaster didn't take more than a couple of house over two game sessions. The difficulty lies in how limited steering is. Waggling the joystick works best to track bases and enemies. #Atari2600 #ActivisionPatch #retrogaming 020
