Welcome to the eighth round of the 18th 5200 HSC season. Defender won the poll by a single vote. Use the Hard difficulty. (I feel like Easy and Normal make this game into a grueling marathon for good players.) Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The record was set by yours truly with 1,224,325 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point.

Great score! Yeah, that’s exactly why we’re not playing the default variation… five ships just feels like too many for this game.

My apologies for missing your latest score update. The standings have been corrected.

Congratulations to phuzaxeman on once again showing off Galaxian supremacy against tough competition. Great participation this round! Always nice to see. Clearly y’all aren’t tired of fending off alien fleets - Space Invaders won the poll and is up next. Final standings: phuzaxeman - 27,440 +11 RB5200 - 24,640 +10 Micheloni2600 - 24,540 +9 Cafeman - 23,590 +8 mikey50 - 23,500 +7 RyanWitmer - 21,910 +6 NE146 - 10,440 +5 bemis - 10,340 +4 jeremiahjt - 7,450 +3

Welcome to the seventh round of the 18th 5200 HSC season. Space Invaders won the poll by two votes. Let’s use Game 4 - same as the default game but with three ships instead of five. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. No record exists for game 4 so somebody will be setting one.

Space Invaders wins the poll.

Even after loosening the screws, going right is a real problem for this stick. Playing the games with the AtariVCS stick is acceptable. But it’s a real problem that the pack-in stick is so wonky.

New poll is up:
