ITS ALMOST HERE!

 

We are 1 week away from the start of The NEW HSC Season 3!

 

The whole season is almost set but I am still taking suggestions.

 

What can you expect next Saturday?

 

~ The FIRST Game will be announced!

~ The Categories for the games will be announced (The first 3 games are ARCADE CLASSICS)!

~ The Homebrew Games will be announced.

~ The Bracket Medal Winners' from Season 2 have picked their games and that will be announced (Still Waiting on One more Person).

 

So spread the word... IM some people on AA and lets have another great start to the HSC!

 

To the newbies... No need to play ever week... You can start at anytime... It's for FUN!

Some play for scores... some play so they can try out games they never played before and get tips from the Pros.

 

Then after 26-30 weeks we play a fun little Tourney called the "Bracket Challenge' and the Top 24 from the HSC Season 3 will go 'head to head' for Medals.

 

OK.... Talk to you March 1st!

 

Thanks!

While we wait for the next Saturday, check out the following videos:

 

1) H.E.R.O. Challenge for the 8th episode of the Atari 2600 Show, played and recorded by me, and presented to Travis Gordon.

 

2) New episode of the Atari 2600 Show: River Raid and final results in H.E.R.O. challenge.

I'm excited for tomorrow to come. This will be the first HSC I'm participating in, and now that I have my hands on actual hardware again, that makes it all the better!

Oh hey man, I haven't seen you around in forever. Did you ever go for the 2600 Berzerk improvement?

 

Nah, I never did do the run for extra-life. I made a lot of changes in my life though, so hopefully this year it'll happen. :)
