Holy shit Propane, another rocker on your hands here. I love how you can use the other button to speed it up - thus eliminating the need for paddle support, I would think. But playing it on the emulator, it works great, so when it comes out on cart it will be that much greater using it with the real hardware. Of course there will be those who prefer paddle control on this game, but what you did to it really solves the issue. I'd rather see more go into the gameplay and graphics, as I'm sure you are limited on space as it is with the system's capabilities - therefore forego the paddle option. Either would be great, and thanks again so much, looking forward to the release of another great work.

Nice work. Any update on this? Please count me in for a cart if you do go ahead and make them. Thanks much.

I'd be psyched for a cart for this, of course. Thanks so much to the community again for developing on this system, it's really inspiring and completely awesome. I play my 7800 way more than the wii, and wayyyy more than the 360.....

That's better.

I don't know anything about the games, but I know if you type in "atari 7800" in Half.com, they say there are a bunch of games that are "out of stock" that were never actually made for the 7800. Such as "Wood And Water Rage", Elevator Action, The Eidilon, Gauntlet, even Super Mario Bros. There's more too, if you check it out....some I've never even heard of at all - "Pyromania"? It's a tease. I wish all of those games had been made. Here's the link....go through the other pages too. http://search.half.ebay.com/atari-7800_W0QQmZvideoQ2dgamesQQpgZ4 Thursday83

I agree. Please count me in for a Cart if it happens, I will pay immediately. Nice work Bob!

48,700 Where's Billy.

I wonder if Billy or Steve from "King Of Kong" have ever played this version. If not we should challenge them.

44,500

105,009. Not very good, but a start. millipede first try.bmp

12,870

That's a tough choice. I hope we get to do the high score club for all of the games listed in this poll at some point....

10,060

It seems like it still presses down and pops back up like normal, but just doesn't work. Anybody have this happen before, and can anyone offer potential solutions - preferably simple and non-threatening to the system? It's fine for all 7800 games, as the fire button suffices, but for most 2600 games you need the reset button to start or restart the games. As you are all aware. I'm all ears to any advice and thanks much.

I beat it with this score. Using a pro-line, I experimented with a few different controllers for this, pro-line by far the best. Nintendo controller great as well, which is what the last high score was used with (no emulators here) but not as sharp with this game. Almost. Psyched for the new NES controller I ordered as part of the 25th anniversary package, should be great. If only he would make one of those for the 5200. But anyway, here's the score, and I think we were all hoping some more people would participate in this contest.....the lowest turnout I've seen in a while....you guys are the aces here, I must have gotten lucky on this one. I'm ready for the next one now. When's the poll start?

Guess I will start us off with this one.....

Thanks! 58'45 is definitely my best time. This is also the first time I've had 60 Units remaining. I'd say about about 25% of the time I come in 2nd. I just kept resetting the game after qualifying until I got the Pole. Probably a good 30 tries! Not really... Your hand might cramp quicker than mine. It plays the same on my 7800. I'm using MacMESS with Logitech Precision gamepad. I *could* use my 7800, but my Prolines are pretty well shot, so I would either be using my converted NES pad or a CX-40. I emulate (even when I own the game) because I usually play when my wife and I are watching TV at night and for the ease of screenshots. Those pro-line controllers don't cramp my hand, I've always liked them, and they have for the most part worked well for me. They catch a lot of flack, but seem to be fine for me. I wish the 5200s were like that.

Damn. well this is 44000. I tried and tried, and I have no idea how you got pole position. Must be under 60 seconds. I had 60'14 and I came in third. Best I could get was third. I'll try some more, but nice work. Not sure if this means anything, but I do these things on a real 7800 with pro-lines. Not sure if the computer would mean the same thing, with emulators and such.

118,300 Game seems a little repetitive and boring to me.....

Hmm.. i can't remember where i qualified, either 5th or 6th. I don't think i ever qualified higher than 4th at Suzuka. I don't think i'll get a better score, i didn't crash at all, and i just barely made it to the start finish line at the end of lap 2. I wonder if we'll race the SeaSide track next season. 43,860.

286700 I'll give it another shot soon....

Just discovered that my reset button isn't working on my 7800. Hurts for a lot of 2600 games. Regardless, it gives me an excuse to want one of your new consoles. I'll pay entirely up front if you want, if anyone has backed out or you can fit # 26. I didn't want one originally, but this button not working on my one that I've had for 25 years, just lets me say "get it". Anyway, I see that none are available, but I'm ready to pay immediately if you are game to make one more. Thanks. thursday83

I'm down for one of these blasters if I can. Thanks!

gyruss_high_score_pic.bmpFirst try back, in a long time. Hope to crush this one, this game is one of the all time greats, and the 5200 version is fun as hell. Try a Wico Pro stick - or a stock stick, they both are working great for me. I scored 142,550. More to come.
