The 100k Challenge: August 2013
http://witchfinder-100k.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. I’m not particularly happy about it, but I did manage to increase my score on Scramble. Last week by a measly 3,500 points to 27,940. As a result, it stays in the 100k Challenge for now! I truly hate this game. The first four stages are relatively easy, but the maze-like fifth stage induces swearing like almost no other game before it (although Mappy. Monthly Summary – July 2013. On my first go last Sunday I immediately posted a new high score of 57,550, ...

40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. Week 22 and 23 Summary. It’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the 100k Challenge because I have been focussing most of my efforts on a new blog called Mastertronic Chronicles. Which is all about my efforts to collect and play a set of Mastertronic budget games for the Commodore 64. Check it out if you’re interested! The first increase came on Flying Shark. Whose score had been static at 87,500. My fingers haven’t quite recovered yet! As mentioned last week...

The 100k Challenge: The heat is off and the scores are up!
http://witchfinder-100k.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-heat-is-off-and-scores-are-up.html
40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. The heat is off and the scores are up! Finally there’s been a drop in temperature this weekend that has allowed me a little more gaming time in the evening. As I mentioned in my last update, I was focussing on Donkey Kong Junior. And after almost losing the will to live with the game, I finally managed to better my score, albeit only by a thousand points or so. The new score is 40,300. So at least I’ve surpassed the 40k mark! And every little helps!

The 100k Challenge: Zombies, Crashes and Building Burgers
http://witchfinder-100k.blogspot.com/2013/09/zombies-crashes-and-building-burgers.html
40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. Zombies, Crashes and Building Burgers. As mentioned a couple of weeks back, my progress on the 100k Challenge has been limited during August. The main reason for this is the acquisition of two new arcade machines that I have been playing or tinkering with. Firstly I picked up a Sega House of the Dead. A 1979 black and white release that cost me £125 with no charge for delivery since it came along with the Sega machine! And Dragon’s Lair Fans. I did manage...

The 100k Challenge: Monthly Summary – July 2013
http://witchfinder-100k.blogspot.com/2013/08/time-for-around-up-of-my-efforts-over.html
40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. Monthly Summary – July 2013. Time for a round up of my efforts over the last month or so, but first I should mention how I progressed with last week’s game, Dragon Spirit. The game itself is intensely frustrating at times, but my progress was actually very similar to the previous week’s attempts on Joust. After that I gave up as the game was driving me nuts! So that’s a score increase on every game since I started focussing on one game per week....Jdanddi...

The 100k Challenge: An Old Score Settled... and a Minor Improvement!
http://witchfinder-100k.blogspot.com/2013/09/an-old-score-settled-and-minor.html
40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. An Old Score Settled. and a Minor Improvement! Since I started this challenge nearly two years ago, my scores on some games have remained unchanged. A couple of nights ago, that finally changed for two games – Dig Dug. Firstly, my score of 83,360. On Dig Dug has been unattainable, let alone unsurpassable, with my next best score being around 68k. That was until Sunday night, when I had just one attempt, and had the game of my life so far! 100k in 40 games!

40 Arcade Classics. 2 MAME Cabs. 1 Average Gamer. Green Beret Goes Green…. 8230;and of course Green means I’ve reached 100k on the game! Following the progress reported in my last update, I progressed past the target more quickly than anticipated and finished with a score of 102,120. As I wasn’t expecting to get 100k quite so quickly, I didn’t record the achievement, but I do intend to record a few hints on this one soon. High Scoring Friends and Loved Ones. 8211; mightily impressive! Triple Score Boost ...

But it all adds to the humour of it all. Still as great to play, and as irrelevant as ever, Carmageddon is one of the best racers you'll ever play. Go do some Cunning Stunt Bonuses, some Piledriver Bonuses, and some Nice Shots, Sir. Links to this post. Thursday, 10 May 2012. 10 - Monkey Island II (PC/Amiga - Lucasarts).

Here at the Guff Emporium, we only specialize in select guff, with old guff mixed with new guff. That's a lot of guff indeed! Friday, 14 October 2011. Classic Movie Corner: Innerspace (Warner Bros., 1987). An awesome 80's movie, with brilliant, state of the art special effects that still hold up today, a great script, a strong cast and great music. If you haven't watched it, shame on you. If you have seen it, watch it again. Covered before in a smaller post in less detail. Links to this post. Directed by...
