Goochman Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Folks, The 2600 crew is running a for fun high score conest each week. Curious if there were enough folks here that would be interested in an 8bit contest? Nothing but bragging rights to win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I am in, but I get the feeling there won't be too many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 If we can find 10 people it would make it fun, otherwise we can stick to the 2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'll join! I would make one suggestion, that the .atrs or .bins or whatever be posted so we can transfer thru sio2pc thingie if need be. Any requirements on the Atarimax carts as far as formats go? I have one I haven't used yet and the sio2pc hookup, but my computer is currently way to far away to reach my gaming stuff so I've yet to even try it all out. I also have one of Sunmarks Hollex carts I know that has to be in a special format. I just think it'd be nice to transfer to a cart so I can play on a real Atari computer. But I don't have any 8-bit roms on my computer, and AA doesn't host them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hell, I'm in here as well. Since I totally suck at the 2600 games I might stand a better chance here? =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm also in. I will destroy all at Mr. Robot -mike I should send you 'my levels' We're almost at critical mass - I was thinking we could possibly include the 5200 folks as well for those games that were released on both platforms the same.

Goochman Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well if we do this here will be the rules: EMus or original equipment - no save states or cheating - this is for fun only! 2 games will be propsed each week and voted on - top vote getter is the game. Contest will run M-F, winner gets to propose the 2 games for the next week. Im thinking about Bandits, Gumball or Pole Position - any other suggestions for the first week?

bjk7382 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 any other suggestions for the first week? The rules sound good to me, and I will throw up Mr. Do, or Berzerk as suggestions for the first weeks game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
