zylon Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Our final game of OE season 1 is Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom. Start on default settings from level 1. Use real consoles and cx52's only.Round and season ends Sunday, February 2nd 2014 @11pm EST I'll extend round 2 hours for the Super Bowl In a bizarre twist, 1st and 2nd place are tied in all aspects: points and wins. The next pack of players are locked up closely as well...

+DamonicFury Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I need to play this game before the round ends. Maybe have 2 week rounds next time. This mini-tournament has proven to be an interesting challenge. And the idea of mini-tournaments is an excellent one! That said, I'm in no rush to do another CX-52-only tournament any time soon! After nearly 10 weeks of heavy use, I'm more convinced than ever these sticks,while certainly usable, are just poorly designed - especially for games that require precision movement or rapid fire. Looking forward to going back to the Wico! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to going back to the Wico! When this rounds over I'm going back to emulation to save wear and tear on my 2 CX-52's I wish Atari used the same 2600 controllers on the 5200 just put the numbers and other functions on the system kinda like old cable boxes.

zylon Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 ATTN: No score pumping by purposely missing the mothership. This enables a player to reach high scores without advancing far into the difficulty levels. The occasional miss will happen, but don't overdo it guys. Thanks.

darthkur Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 246,314 World 4 is insane. The width of the gates are about cut in half with, what seems like, an unending supply of adversaries thrown in for good measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to going back to the Wico! Since I always play with the CX-52's this really has been no different than any other round for me. It's one of the things I enjoy the most out of having so many different systems. The unique "feel" of each on of them in every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the things I enjoy the most out of having so many different systems. The unique "feel" of each on of them in every aspect. Same here as I use my CX52 (without gold) for all games, except the few I use emulation on during regular season. With my new multi-cart, that shouldn't be an issue. Just gotta find time to get and setup the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 259,397 Missed the level 2 saucer, despite my best efforts not to. Got the next time, missed the level 3 saucer , again despite my best efforts, and died soon after. Burned through 10 lives on level 3 (gray). If level 4 is indeed that much harder, it must be like instant death! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peedenmark7 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've never played this other than some screwing around on my multi cart. I played today and yesterday... Superbowl Sunday will cut my run short, but another awesome port to add to the rotation and build on ! 198,207 Go BRONCOS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
