Shocked 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.

Working 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

Big fan of the VideoBrain computer system. The crowd watching the ball is a nice touch on pong-alike Tennis for the system.

Pitfall 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

The ChuChu Rocket single or two player challenges are definitely worth playing. Multiplayer is certainly a staple. #Dreamcast

Got 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

Started 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

A marathon game of Tapper on Colecovision difficulty 2, probably should have gone harder.
