Should probably change pitfall to be like Indi 500 (based on time left) as it as a score cap.

Many of those scores look familiar!

Good to know. A perpetual Atari contest looks great!

I just registered myself there. I hope one can use the harmony cart to submit scores.

Multicarts are accepted!

Emulation is not (with the exception of MAME and Daphne)

Tonight, Patrick Scott Patterson mentions R'cade Mag as an alternative to Twin Galaxies (fast forward to about the 20 minute mark if you don't want to watch the whole vid)

I'll have to wait my atari 7800 power supply arrives to play Atari 2600 in a real hardware (I guess Atari 7800 is acceptable).
I'm having bad luck with the atari 2600 consoles. My american wood Atari 2600 acquired a random frying/reset behavior...

Look at my Frostbite record brake attempt:

There are two interesting things in this picture. Can you find them?

Yes you can play an Atari 7800 or even a ColecoVision expansion module to submit 2600 scores.

And don't forget, polls are open to vote for August's Game of the Month which is an Atari 2600 title. Whomever places the highest score on August's Game of the Month receives 2500 forum tokens. You can then redeem those tokens for items in our Token Redemption Center.
