VectorGamer Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have no idea what those games are lol B That's what great about the Craptacular! We would most likely not play these in a normal HSC round. I would recommend checking them out. There's actually some fun games in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Well, with the whole idea of not knowing any of these games, I decided to go with the ones that sounded the most METAL B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow, 28 games in the poll and not one of them would I know if I fell over it. That's cool though... I've learned of all kinds of cool games here in the HSC that I probably would never have played otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I figured it would be Laguna Racer since race cars & chicks would be more heavy metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barra Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Dont think I'll be able to play in this, but LOL @ Donkey Kong being in a "craptacular" tournament. Your not wrong there! (*hides*) Edited December 20, 2011 by Barra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Dont think I'll be able to play in this, but LOL @ Donkey Kong being in a "craptacular" tournament. Your not wrong there! (*hides*) Assuming I find adequate time over the holidays, this tourney might be my first real "stab" at trying to better myself at DK. I really stink at it, so... 50k or bust! But, unless something changes for me over the course of this tourney, I'm with ya bro. With or without the clout of being the centerpiece of a cult film, I don't understand the DK craze at all.

bigbee99 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I don't understand the DK craze at all. Me neither. Now Pool Shark - that's going to be a fun game! I've been playing Pool Shark some. My current best is 36 but I cant replicate it I just like it b/c it's a quick game and I can play it w/o getting too involved when I pause to take a smoke break.

acelkin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Frogs with 2600. I assume you must be penalized when you try & grab on off the far left & right of the screen? It's like your frog falls off the ledge & you can't get started again for a few seconds. Guess I could go & read the directions, but that wouldn't be any fun! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelkin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Desert Gun 11,500. The mouse makes an adequate controller for this one. But I don't appreciate the game calling me a dummy! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelkin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Space Dungeon 27,805. This is a game I feel like I'm never going to get better at. The difficulty just ramps up quickly for me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelkin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Black Hole 2600. What a mind-numbing horrible game. There aren't too many game I hate...this is one of them-lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
