5200 HSC Season 4 Round 11: Special round "Left, Right, & Shoot Stuff"

 

Round will end July 25th 9pmEST

 

The games:

We will be playing 3 games this round: Galaxian, Space Invaders, Megamania

Play all 3 on default settings. Pics encouraged, but not necessary.

Use whatever control scheme you like and emulation is fine as long as 5200 ROMS are used. The exception is I will allow the A8 version of Megamania as there is no change in gameplay that I can detect. That one is a bit more uncommon so I'm making an exception to not leave anyone out. :cool:

 

The scoring:

Because of the huge difference in scoring on these games, each game will be scored separately, but round points will be earned per each position. Top spot earns 10 round points, 2nd spot earns 9 round points, etc. Lowest round points will be 3. 3 round points will also be given for missing one game.

Combined round points will decide your finishing places for the round. Ties will be settled by combined score. HSC record bonus will still be in effect, plus any surprise I can devise. :evil:

My 1st goes at 'em. I'm easy prey on 2 of them, but I'll give you guys some game on the other one. ;)

5200 Galaxian- 30,400

5200 Space Invaders- 6906

5200/A8 Megamania- 69,160

Easy prey? I believe this is your realm zylon. All three scores in your opening volley seem way above average, esp Space Invaders & Galaxian :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ! I'm just now getting familiar with Megamania(after blowing off the dust!). I've never really played it much, so I don't know what's possible...yet :ponder: . I would say you're pretty safe for the other two..although, there's always that SI nut lurking out there somewhere who can score 20K+...

 

My humble opening:

 

Galaxian: 9,840

Megamania: 33,410

Space Invaders: 1,882

Thanks. My Megamania should be within reach. I'm definitely going for it all on Galaxian since I got robbed last time by current record holder. He sniped in a score at last minute. While legal, it's very unsportsman-like. I play only as needed and try not to run up the scores needlessly. That's just my style of play. :)

 

Looks like my SI has already fallen. Good job^. :thumbsup:

Megamania 38,290

 

This is more difficult than the 2600 version.

Really? :? I do just as bad on either version. :ponder:

 

The objects i have to shoot seem smaller.

I guess Activision gave away too many patches for the 2600 version.

I'm always running out of time/energy on this one. Lost at least 3 ships that way. Could never figure out how so many roll this one. I never make it far enough for controls to become an issue either.

I am terrible at these games! :(

especially Space Invaders… I think the single shot mechanic is difficult for me…

I can feel myself improving in Galaxian though… I'm going to work on it some more…

 

Galaxian: 10,740

Space Invaders: 546

Finally got to play some Megamania (quite a bit of it, actually), as well as make another try at Galaxian:

 

Megamania: 96,610

Galaxian: 11,400

 

The dice rounds in Megamania are game-enders for me. I lost all my ships repeatedly during the 2nd dice round during most of my games, then finally got past it once, and of course, lost the last ships on the third dice round.

1(10pts)- 99,610 sdamon

 

sdamon's score is 96,610.. not 99.

Thanks. Good catch. :)

 

Welcome. I'm enjoying these 3 games. I'm still new to 5200.

 

Galaxian I heard some bad things about on the 5200, but I think it's pretty decent.

I'm not a fan of Galaxian, don't like the 2600 version... though 5200 Galaxian I like best.

 

The Colecovision one is too difficult.

 

As for Space Invaders it's tough but fun.

 

Megamania is also a bit tougher then on 2600, but since the dice and tires are smaller,

it's a little easier to get out of the way!

Galaxian happens to be one of my favorite games on 5200(Missile Command, Pole Position, QIX, River Raid, Galaxian, Joust, Kaboom) To me, they play much better 0n 5200 than A8.

I like the 2600 Galaxian, but it is weak compared to arcade and other ports. C64 version is better than 2600, but gets complaints. Same with Vic-20. :| A8 is the same as 5200, but the 5200's controls are better for this game. Just my take on it. :)

 

BTW: I'm fairly new to 7800 and not enjoying it for the most part.
