zylon Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Due to lopsided voting, I'll jump the gun and start our final round early. The game is Pole Position and a particularly good choice for our system. Play Malibu GP (default track) on 4lp setting. I'm curious to see if we've really maxed this one out, lol. Use original systems and Atari-mfg controls. Only modern exceptions allowed are flashcarts/SD loaders using original ROMS. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Round ends Sunday, January 14th 2018 @9pm EST Current HSC record: Bust or tie it for a bonus point! (Malibu Grand Prix 4 laps) atariksi 60,750 zylon 60,750 Final scores: 59,050 Hank Rearden +11+1=12 58,500 zylon +10 53,350 RangerG +9 Standings- zylon - 58 RangerG - 54 sdamon - 53 phuzaxeman - 11 peedenmark7 - 10 Hank Rearden - 8 Pole Position.bin Edited January 15, 2018 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Rearden Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Looks like a lot of TVs taking right turns bit too fast and rolling over. The pictures I'm inserting are right side up on my phone. Not sure why it's turning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) The pictures I'm inserting are right side up on my phone. Not sure why it's turning them. Stranger things happen. Just makes a little tougher to read. I spy a River Raid cart. 58,500 Damn, look at that Q-lap. Only .01 sec behind best we've recorded here.

Hank Rearden Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Okay, I did record a sick qualification lap. Not the same game that I got a new personal best. I'm kinda getting tired of Pole Position. 59,050 Pole Position lap 57"97 I don't know why people complain about the 5200 stick, I'm better with it than I ever was in the arcade with an actual steering wheel! That's probably it for me. What's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Rearden Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 And 60,750 is sick! That's 4 absolutely perfect laps or has to be close to perfect anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) And 60,750 is sick! That's 4 absolutely perfect laps or has to be close to perfect anyway. It was. 61k is a theoretical true perfect. That's no crashes, no going off-track, and minimal skidding+ Pole.

zylon Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Round 7 goes to newcomer Hank Rearden in a TV rolling performance As a final present, I've set up a bonus round to continue this season an extra week while our new Mod gets prepared. I've selected Ms Pacman and it's only fitting as we played Pacman earlier. Final scores: 59,050 Hank Rearden +11+1=12 58,500 zylon +10 53,350 RangerG +9 On a side note, our winner did record a HSC record breaking Q-lap, even though we weren't competing in that aspect. That means no one else tried for it. So, I will ask the current record holder his opinion. I will give the bonus pt as that is seriously hard to do.

Hank Rearden Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don't have Ms Pacman but I should have an Atarimax cart later this week. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I don't have Ms Pacman but I should have an Atarimax cart later this week. ☺️ Good investment. I only have 8 carts here +the Atarimax 128-in-1 cart. The key is not to change the games on it that often. Mine's lasted a few years now. Normally, we would be on break now. I only added the bonus round as a filler. Edited January 15, 2018 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
