The Resolution:  Did I say that Mike Tyson's Punch-Out was my favorite game back in Resolution #28? I mean, it's true that is my favorite game with that level of graphics. My all-time favorite game is Moon Patrol. I'm pretty sure we had a low budget copy of it for our Magnavox Odyssey II.  Being that it was one of the few games we had, I got real good at it.

It's weird, even though there was a copy at home I would still seek out Moon Patrol every time we went to Chuck E. Cheese's and would play it for hours. Last night, I think it was George Takei who posted a link to a new online video arcade filled with the classic. As I was scrolling through the games, there is was...

This brought back some fond memories and led me to question whether or not this game is beatable. I know I've made it through the first two courses that run from A to Z but I can't remember what happened next.

I don't think I got a congratulatory game over with credits, or if it went on to another level that was a different color where things moved faster.

This is going to be the year that I figure out just how far this game goes.

Result #309: I Failed To Find My Copy Of Moon Patrol… But Need To Get Back To Playing This Game!!!

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 11-5-2015

I swear that I used to have one of those plug and play joysticks with Moon Patrol loaded on it. I also swear that said joystick made the move. Apparently… I was wrong. I've tried to find a version of it online but I keep finding Moon Patrol "style" games.

I'm going to keep hunting for a version of Moon Patrol that works for me and when I do, I'm going to beat the version I find and report to you when I finally do.
