zylon Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Our game this round is Robotron: 2084. Great game for twin-stick shooting fun, but you'll have to play it twice. Each will count and score as a separate round. Game 1 will be standard Robotron on default starting level with 2 controllers Game 2 will be standard Robotron on default starting level with 1 controller Emulation is fine as is whatever control scheme you wish. Round(s) end on Sunday, December 11 2011 @ 10pm EST Current HSC record: beat it for a bonus point! Robotron 2084 - jetset 518,200 Game 1 Final scores: (2 controllers) 418,325 Cafeman +11 371,975 sdamon +10 253,975 chuckwalla +9 231,325 roadrunner +8 186,500 1982Videogames +7 155,950 atariron82 +6 139,300 Sonic R +5 98,425 zylon +4 44,000 peedenmark7 +3 Game 2 Final scores: (1 controller) 71,100 sdamon +11 63,875 roadrunner +10 51,975 zylon +9 46,760 ahuffman +8 32,600 atariron82 +7 19,500 Cafeman +6 18,125 Sonic R +5 13,350 peedenmark7 +4 Current standings - Points - sdamon - 229 atariron82 - 170 zylon - 148 roadrunner - 127 peedenmark7 - 100 JacobZu7zu7 - 88 Sonic R - 74 BydoEmpire - 48 DensB68 - 44 Official Ninja - 33 doctorclu - 31 NoahsMyBro - 31 Cafeman - 37 rxd - 19 NML32 - 17 rmaerz - 15 Gabriel - 13 trbb - 12 ahuffman - 15 chuckwalla - 17 4ks - 5 Mingy Jongo - 4 Bemis - 4 oyamafamily - 2* mightymage - 1* Rounds won - sdamon - 10 doctorclu - 2 atariron82 - 2 zylon - 2 NoahsMyBro - 1 rxd - 1 Official Ninja - 1 peedenmark7 - 1 trbb - 1 Edited December 12, 2011 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Robotron with 1 stick? Ugh. Oh, well, should make for an interesting challenge (and probably some pretty short games.) Here's my first stab at the normal two-stick version... 279,625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Robotron with 1 stick? Ugh. Oh, well, should make for an interesting challenge (and probably some pretty short games.) That it may, but it still makes it a "different" game and gives others another chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) I'm really missing my joystick coupler now. My homemade one keeps allowing the stick to slip out of it. Anyway, just to start off, here is my 2-stick best so far. 174,000. Edited November 28, 2011 by Cafeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Robotron and the Atari 5200 - a match made in heaven... two controllers - 253,975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahuffman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Man I think I had better just get the cart, playing this on the emulator is not working. I have the coupler, just need the cart lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) I never owned Robotron back in the day, but now I wish I had - its a spot-on conversion and really awesome. * * except trying to use non-centering analog controls, of course.

+Cafeman Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Since I have the camera out, I took some snapshots of my homemade 5200 controller coupler! * * remember- silence is Golden, but duct tape is Silver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Nice homemade coupler, Cafeman! Here's my best scores from last night's play. 2-sticks: 371,975 1-stick: 71,100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982VideoGames Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'll get in on this action: 186,500 (2 sticks) Atari really brought Robotron home and I love this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) 2-stick mode doesn't change much for me, I'd rather 1 stick mode myself. At least with the A8 and C64 ports, I can use my 2 modded sega pads. 2-stick: 67,925 1-stick: 51,975 Edited November 30, 2011 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic R Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 one stick play… 18,125 I just cannot play this version well I keep trying and I am lucky to even see 100k… I just don't understand why I suck so bad… I play the 7800 version - with a SMS pad and 7800 stick, and I am getting to 500k no sweat… I guess I am just epic suck at Robotron 2084 on the 5200… I give up… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) I was never very good at the 5200 version of this game. Then again never put much time into the 5200 version and truth be told this is the first I've had a controller holder out of the box.. I can only imagine how fun Space Dungeon is ! I may post again, but this will probably be as far as I go time wise... I spread myself a bit thin doing the knockout here and on the 7800 forum as well as the normal rounds already going... dual controller: 44,000 single; 13,350 I know what I have to work on for this next season...I should have been more active mid-summer !

+Cafeman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I just tried a few rounds of the 1-stick game - my best was 19,500 and I refuse to try any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Looks like a miss for me here, the seller didn't ship out quickly enough, to make the Robotron deadline. I bet my 5200 game lot will show up Monday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 That happens. There's always the next round which will be starting in mere hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
