atarigal Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hey, my thread is still going! I haven't had much time to play lately since we've been super busy with real life stuff. (Real Life -- It Sucks [tm]) Things are settling down now though so I should be able to break out the Astrosmash again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Do I sense a request for a game to appear in the HSC??? Really??? Really??? (am I the only one here lol) That's a super great idea. I'm glad you thought of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSprinter Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Just wanna chime in again and state it's a bit odd playing the Atari 2600 counterpart with a paddle controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Aw, I love Astroblast with a paddle. Our cat will even watch the meteors fall & the ship scooting left & right. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 At least they were smart enough to change the name enough to distinguish the game, but not enough to make it appear as a different game... M Network/Mattel for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I might be able to if some of you start posting for the current game (hint hint) Never had current game and likely never will. I've got about 10 games I really liked and another 10 or so I can tolerate. If not for Astrosmash and maybe a couple others, I'd probably get rid of the rest.

cparsley Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 what do I expect from a console with controllers that are, well bad to put it mildly??? (just joshing u Zylon, just trying to have a mix of games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) what do I expect from a console with controllers that are, well bad to put it mildly??? (just joshing u Zylon, just trying to have a mix of games) No prob. I just enjoy simple fun games and don't mind Inty controls, except Inty II's. Oddball titles just don't draw much of a crowd. I've even stopped taking these in trade unless it has something I might want. They just don't sell. Edited June 30, 2011 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I hate to say it but I'm highly debating to pull AD&D and reputting a new week #6... Thoughts? (sorry if hijacking btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I hate to say it but I'm highly debating to pull AD&D and reputting a new week #6... Thoughts? (sorry if hijacking btw) Yah, I think so. It's a pretty involved game that not a lot of people played back in the day. Not an easy pick up and play game either. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Games like that are best used as a bonus challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 hmmmm...so what to put in its place??? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Whatever you choose, if I have it I'll play. I only play the role of spoiler in the smaller HSC's. I mainly concentrate on SMS and 5200. Perhaps something with shooting would fit well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 How about a game where you shoot asteroid like objects and white spinner objects. Is there such a game on the Intellivision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Wow, I thought you guys had already done Astrosmash (I've been too busy to participate in any of the Intellivision contests after the first one). I'd say that's the next logical choice, but pleeease don't make everyone play it at the LOWEST POSSIBLE SPEED. I think we had to play BurgerTime that way, and it drove me FREAKY NUTS. It was like watching a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ive already said I prefer em the way I played em, 100% speed aka disc... So, you want "Meteor" to be the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Spear Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Are there any good photos of the contest while it was happening? I dimly remember seeing a photo with rows of contestants in action but Im old so that may not be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I just noticed your avator, zylon. That's impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
