Great games that are fun trying to beat your own high score and time?

[Anonymous No.894467]

Tetris, yo.

What's everyone's high scores? (on the dmg GB version). Mine's 59k. Trying desperately to reach 60k but the higher speed levels are SO fucking brutal and one slip up costs you the game.

does it matter which tetris game?

[Anonymous No.894502]

Super Punch Out. The game isn't all that hard, but you can spend countless hours shaving thousands of seconds off of your times. I remember eventually taking this asshole down in under 10 seconds.

I've always found Xevious to very satisfying.

I guess not. If there aren't any major differences. What's your high score, dawg?

Also, in NWC 1990, what kinds of scores did you have to be getting in Tetris to progress? Anyone know? Because I was pretty damn proud of my 59k.

TGM3 is best, but off-topic for /vr/.

Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2 PLUS (platform is Psikyo's 1997 SH2 hardware) is the best allowed here.

The game and watch gallery series is really great. My favorite game is helmet from 2.

[Anonymous No.895194]

Crazy Taxi.

My best is like 30,000. Physically can't do any better. It kills my hand.

In the NWC competition, scores for each game were multiplied individually, and then added together. The Tetris score had a ridiculously multiplier, so you pretty much only had to be good at Tetris to stomp everyone's ass. Where as SMB had a x1 multiplier and Rad Racer had x10, Tetris had a whopping x25 multiplier.

I'm not sure about what it took to qualify, though.

I still can't get below 50 seconds

Fuck I hated Master difficulty on that game. 1800 km/hr the whole time, and you still barely scratch the top 10

I beat every cup with every car on every difficulty.

The key to the master cup is to kill your rival. If you can't get near the top, get position 5 or 9 then spin at the start of the race without boosting and you will kill 1st place behind you

key to master X cup is go crazy and win by default on a death track

Basically every pinball game ever made.

Even though I hadn't played it for a while (because of Timeshock), I just doubled my highscore in Fantastic Journey by getting over two billion points.

I was just about to say this. Pinball is one of the few games where attaining/beating your high score is damned satisfying and exhilarating.
