Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Season 6 will be my first season actively participating in the Atari 2600 HSC every week, so forgive me if any of these games have been played to death already, but here's a little list of 15 games I think it could be fun to play: Alien Battlezone Crystal Castles Gorf Ladybug (Homebrew) Lead (Homebrew) Mario Bros. Millipede Trak-Ball (Hack) New Pac-Man 8k Version (Homebrew) Robot Tank Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle Starmaster (On Starmaster difficulty) Venture II: The Abysmal Abyss (Hack) Wall Jump Ninja (Homebrew) Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission (Hack) Edited November 26, 2016 by Jin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Spider Fighter The timed games: Skiing, Barnstorming, Grand Prix, Sky Jinks @Jin We played Gorf and Mario Bros. in season 5. But I wouldn't mind another crack at both those games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Moon Patrol - There's a classic that hasn't been played all tha often in the HSC! Cosmic Commuter - Interesting idea. Worth a try. Also, we haven't played Commando Raid in quite a while. That's a fun game, and great for competetive play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer_27330 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Cosmic Arc Game 2 or 5 Combat You as one tank take out the helpless non moving tank. Astroblast (no paddles allowed) Circus Atari Seaquest Endoruo Crystal Castles start on Level 8 Edited November 29, 2016 by classicgamer_27330 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 HSC Season 5 Week 17: Cosmic Commuter If we were to play Cosmic Commuter, it'd have to be game 2, even then I could see a lot of people rolling it or just getting sick of it and quitting. I love the game but once you get the hang of it it's awfully easy. Moon Patrol, Enduro, Entombed, Jawbreaker, Fast Eddie, Crazy Climber and Bump n Jump haven't been played for a while. For never been played: Music Machine, Bumper Bash, Cakewalk Homebrews: Wall Jump Ninja, Crazy Balloon, A-VCS-Tec Challenge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) ADDING SUGGESTIONS - Fast Food If we play Fast Food, I will give a special idea for Bonus Game - play the 7800 version of Fast Food, named FAT AXL The special reason: I received 2 cartridges for Atari 7800 together with an Edladdin Super 78 Joystick, which I won from the last High Score Official Competition (Summer Contests 2016). These cartridges are Scammer Brawler and Fat Axl. OTHER SUGGESTIONS: Barnstorming (Game 3 for regular scores and Game 4 for bonus) Cosmic Commuter (Game 2) Laser Blaster (Game 4) River Raid 2 Space Treat Deluxe (homebrew) Kabobber Amidar Chase the Chuck Wagon Communist Mutants from Space Journey Escape M.A.D. Moonsweeper Pigs in Space Planet Patrol Roc N Rope Sir Lancelot Sorcerer's Apprentice Wabbit Edited November 29, 2016 by oyamafamily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Here is my list of games I would like to see played: Battlezone Crazy Climber Frontline Solar Fox No Escape BurgerTime Popeye Gyrus Commando Raid Eggomania Private Eye Pressure Cooker Tax Avoiders Jr Pac-Man Moon Patrol Crystal Castles Enduro Raft Rider LadyBug Circus Missile Command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 My bonus idea at the opening of Season 6: Post a picture of your Atari VCS Console SERIAL NUMBER. To be eligible to get bonus points, your console MUST be an original Atari-made console, which can be 2600/VCS (including 2600 Jr.) or 7800 ProSystem - NO 3rd-party systems (Sears, Dactar, Coleco Gemini etc.) or Expansion Module. And two more suggestions: Combat Bowling (Combined Score = Game 1 score + Game 3 score + Game 5 score) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 One more homebrew suggestion from me before Season 6 gets underway: D.K. VCS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythicalCheesePirate Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Hi all. I am new to these forums, and I came across this. It seems like it would be cool and definitely something I would like to get in on. A couple of questions though if you do not mind. How many weeks do you do this? And what if I do not own or have access to some of the weekly games? Could I still play during other weeks? Thanks!! Oh, btw, I am not sure what games you have done in the past, but I think both Demon Attack and Phoenix have always been good ones for 'competition'play.

Atarian7 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm not sure how many weeks. But you can play any week you want to join in and you don't have to play every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If you don't own the game of the week, emulation is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If you don't own the game of the week, emulation is fine.or you can get a Harmony cart from AtariAge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 DEAR 2600 HSCLUBERS, While Season 6 of the NEW 2600 HSC doesn't start, visit the "Hi-Score Today" thread. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/257250-hi-score-today/ In this thread, test your skills and post your personal High Scores from any games, any classic platforms (including Atari Systems) and any game variation (console or emulation) - just specify the game played, category and the respective settings used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Don't remember seeing this come up for competition before, but I think Tax Avoiders would be a fun addition to the lineup this season. I'd like the excuse to push myself to a higher score on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Don't remember seeing this come up for competition before, but I think Tax Avoiders would be a fun addition to the lineup this season. I'd like the excuse to push myself to a higher score on it. Yeah, I'd like to try it out. Good suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I don't remember ever playing Threshold in the HSC. That's a fun one for the shooter category. I just started playing Amidar, a long-neglected game in my collection, so I'd like to suggest that as well. Otherwise, my general suggestion is to simply pick games that haven't been played in the HSC before. I like surprises 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacChamp Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Moon Patrol Adventures of Tron Jr Pac Man Turmoil Planet Patrol Asteroids (game 32...no features, no extra lives and fast moving...difficulty A) Edited January 11, 2017 by PacChamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I've seen Jr. Pac-man suggested a couple/few times. That would be a good game to play considering how hard it is. Maybe a few of us would figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I like the idea of Combat (seeing how many times you can pummel the non-moving tank. Along with that thread, may I suggest: Air-Sea Battle: Shooting Gallery variation (the one with the duckies/bunnies.) Or how about making a themed round...timed games. Combat, Air-Sea Battle, Indy 500, Night Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
