HSC11 Round 2 Poll: "B" Games

[+therealbountybob]

Remember to vote for as many games as you like - otherwise this multi-poll business will not work!!!

A tough call with so many great "B" games so I've doubled some up again and added a few of my favourites that you might want to play, so we have *9* yes nine choices. Hopefully there is at least one selection of each player The Brundles is are great but would take too long to play BBSB and BD II are enough to keep players occupied by themselves, but the others should be ok for two weeks, we can always extend things if needed.

[Checkout Atarimania for any instructions]

 

1. Blueprint with Boulders and Bombs as bonus game (B&B needs OS/B or Translator Disk)

Blueprint is a nice game; find the pieces take them to the blueprint, easy eh?! apart from the bombs and flower-pot throwing fish guys that is! Not played B&B though but might be interesting...

2. Rawhide: Beef Drop and a Beefy Bonus or two!

I had this from last time we played Beef Drop "Note there are two versions - check the title screen shows Feb 2005, the .com file on atarimania is ok". I think there is a newer version still ? Christmas 2012 ver perhaps? [Found It! See Post #2] For a bonus we'll check out the clones and ?!

3. Bounty Bob Strikes Back

Awesome

4. Boulderdash II

We've played BD "1" so thought "II" should get an airing - we'll probably go for screens completed and make use of the multiple start points for most players, so don't worry about getting stuck.

The 25th Anniversary Copy is the same (info here) but has the neat title screen (below), and the XBIOS version (ATR) has a special loading animation [link somewhere on AA!]

5. Splatting: Bug Attack & Bug Off

Bug Attack is fantastic 10/10, probably the best game yet to be played in the HSC! If you like Centipede then you'll love this one. Bug Off is a real finger killer but good.

6. Classic Blast I: Blaster & Beam Rider

Blaster seems to be awesome but not played it much. Beam Rider quality shooter, gets pretty intense too!

7. Classic Blast II: Bellum & Bandits

Bellum great Scramble clone, and you can complete it with a bit of effort. Bandits is surely due a HSC play soon!

8. Beach Head I & II

Both arcade games made up of 4 mini games (I think). Quallity action.

9. Bristles with Batty Builders as a bonus game

Bristles is another fantasic game, again multiple levels to start on. Batty Builders is tough but fun, catch and stack the blocks; might be too fast on NTSC though?

I found the newer Beef Drop here (if you know the game well perhaps compare the two versions). Keep the multi-votes coming guys.

 

Forgot to say this Poll Closes Sunday 2nd Feb at 10am GMT

Can we play Batty Builders as a bonus games for Bounty Bob then!

Sounds like a plan IF BBSB wins of course as there's still TIME FOR MORE VOTES UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING FOLKS!

It's quick to play and will give a break from the serious platform action

[McKong]

I only like it cos it was one of the first games we got when we first got a tape drive when we were kids. That, Desmonds Dungeon and The Lone Raider

Unbelievable!!! We need a tie breaker

This will give me time to get a cup of tea and create the current standings

[McKong]

I vote we play all 3!

ARRGH! Poll still tied... 2 games: BBSB & Bristles? With or without Batty Builders as a bonus?! Or I say my vote counts more and play Bristles? Or I take my vote back and it's BBSB????!!!! Downside of BBSB is there might be a couple here with 800's but we can allow Miner 2049'er to be substituted for you guys

 

ok I'll leave it until later / or perhaps the morning at the latest and see if it's still tied... luckily I've arranged some little Superbowl thing to keep you entertained in the mean time

a8isa1 plays Bellum while waiting for a decision...
