Lauren Tyler Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) I'd love to join for the first game, but MESS doesn't seem to like Centipede. Edited April 8, 2007 by LarcenTyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82atari5200 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I'll fire up Centipede in the morning. I have the original instruction manual from when I got it back in the 80's with some of my high scores back when I was about 10. Actually kind of cool when you think about it.

shadow460 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The one game I got that didn't work was Centipede... I'll be ready, though, when one of my games comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Played a bit, took me a while just to crack 20,000! And my hand cramps up trying to hold in the mushy buttons. Ah, good ole 5200 playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Shouldn't all games in HSC be played on default settings? Default for this is Standard difficulty. Edited April 8, 2007 by Gunstarhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82atari5200 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Shouldn't all games in HSC be played on default settings? Default for this is Standard difficulty. Definitely agree. I scored 33,069 Feb 14 1987 on the easy level. and 50,615 back on July 5 1999. On Normal level I've only hit 19,199 today.

Atari5200 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) since this is the first HSC game, whatever difficulty will be fine, but the next game we will do whatever the default settings are. Plus, not like it would be hard to do easy, then when the game is over just hit # to change the difficulty, the difficulty changes but the score still stays the same Edited April 8, 2007 by Atari5200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82atari5200 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Need to get a camera. On Standard Play 38,665. That's probably the best I'm gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon let's just have some standard rules, if you trust people not to cheat with an EMU than you can trust people not to cheat using the actual console.

I did worry about that, if you had read my other posts you would know I did not want to include emu because it would be to easy to take a screen shot and photo shop it, but i decided to include it. THE POINT IS: You can cheat regardless, how is anybody going to know. You've already posted that you are going to win every contest, so how would anybody know if you were cheating or just talking trash, impossible to tell on a forum. Just post high scores and lets get it done. There's really no way to IMPLEMENT and/or ENFORCE rules on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, if you can't tell what I said is trash talk then maybe we shouldn't have trash talk. I'm still not sure why you have such a problem with setting gameplay standards. I'm not the only person who wants default settings. I simply thought that would be an obvious implementation until I saw your Easy mode score you posted, then I had to speak up.
