Doing a quick google search of 'super rampart mode' and the first result is a youtube video that says 'Stage 15'. So I'm guessing it is in that mode?

Okay, I got home and consulted my manual and gamefaqs. Its definitely going to be Super Rampart mode. As to how many levels, I am unsure. Someone glued a print-off into it that has passcodes up to 16, which has the word end printed next to it. Gamfaqs has 47 passes. Perhaps 3 loops of 16 levels is possible.

So arn, if you can clear 16 levels of Super Rampart and report back. Otherwise I will research it more a bit later.

Ok watched the video of 16 and it gives you the end screen and credits after that. Shame since that means I was real close to beating it in 2015 but gave up because I thought it had 48 levels

King of Dragons done.  First time ever playing the game, so I can excuse my run for being extremely sloppy.  I got the final boss with one life left and I found three continues along the way.

How did you like it? I recently  picked up the game and only played it for maybe 25mins before going to bed. I think I liked knights of the round better, but I'll still get around to king of dragons again sometime

I liked it more than Knights of the Round. Another title I still need to finish some day

Going to work on making the clear conditions column a little more verbose and useful

I am working on Kawasaki Superbike Challenge and should be done with it before the end of the night.
I will post what I have found about the winning condition once I am done.

Yes.  Someone did that last year and I didn't count it

Making good progress on Rampart! I may be finished in a couple of days if the last few levels go well.

In that case I am currently working through LoZ: Link to the Past. If someone snipes it from me no hard feelings.

Alas, I started on the beer and the performance and the fun I was having at Kawasaki Superbike Challenge are a-gone. I will resume tomorrow with my last password.
A pity that I will miss beating a game for the thread today. Oh well.

I'm hoping to get started on a few different games today. I tried moving my old Klipsch ProMedia to the PVM so I could get stereo sound without using headphones. Unfortunately way too much noise gets introduced somewhere along the path.

Nice, what are you planning on?

Rampart done!  Completed all 16 levels of Super Rampart and also all 7 levels in Normal Rampart, both on Medium difficulty.

I found out most of the way through the game that there are two other things you can build in Super Rampart and that you can move the cursor real fast during the combat sequences.  I felt kind of dumb not figuring that out sooner!

I can go back and try on Tough difficulty if you want but this is probably good enough.

I think I'll try Wildsnake next.

Well, I just won the Holland gran prix on Kawasaki Superbike Challenge. That gives me a 30 points lead over the second place, but still not enough to secure the championship.
Now onto Italy, Britain, Portugal and Mexico. I should be done with it tonight unless I somehow get forced to do the Suzuka 8 hours thing.
I surely hope I don't, because I can't stand this game any longer. It handles very poorly and feels awfully slow, and suffers from severe frame drops during the races.

Hmm, that is why I quit in the first place.  What's the trick?

It's not listed in the manual?

I think it was just holding down the B button.  Unfortunately it only works during combat and not during cannon placement or building, but better than nothing.

I got all the way to Level 14 without it and I was very close to clearing it anyway before.  That's even with only using the basic cannons too.

Levels 15 and 16 would have both been manageable without speeding up the cursor I think.

It took some practice and some good technique but I don't think the game was nearly as hard as I was expecting.

NFL Quarterback Club '96 will be the first one.  Depending on how far I make it, may give one of the other non beaten games a try. I vaguely remembering trying Super Conflict last year so maybe give it another shot.

Kawasaki Superbike Challenge is done. The championship ends at Mexico, so luckily you don't have to do the Suzuka 8 hours.

I swear I had more fun in my chemo sessions back in 2013 than playing this f**king game. I am not touching this mess ever again. F**king thing drops to single digits framerate at a lot of parts, the engine sound is the most annoying ever, the framerate is poor all through the game, the controls are unresponsive. My only regret is that I don't have the cart to take to the range tomorrow, rent the 12 gauge, buy a box of birdshot and turn into pieces to vent my frustration and anger towards it.

Pro Quarterback is done. It was just as lame as last year except I finished it and posted before Brock did!

I'll give Quarterback club another chance maybe this weekend. I did real well in the first quarter I got to play this afternoon but had to turn it off. Came back and it was like I forgot the controls and just kept getting sacked.

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past is now complete.

And just to prove I didn't glitch run.
