    I guess it's time to make a call.

     

    "Often I wouldnt have time to play a given round, so I would consult my high score notebook & post whatever score I had written, for the given game."

     

    Whether intentional or not this is not fair according to the rules. So I think this is the best call to make:

     

    * RJ's scores (up through Week 16: Crystal Castles) don't count and his points for Season 6 are reset to 0.

     

    @RJ -- you're still welcome to participate and accumulate season points from here on. Please be careful to follow the rules as stated on the Rules & Info page.

     

    And please everyone be careful to follow the rules so we can keep it fun and keep our honor system intact!

    Aww this is one season where I actually have & was able to play most of the games.

     

    But I shot myself in the foot, I deserve that. I'll abide, thanks again everyone!

    Well thats funny b/c last time I was in that same store (according to your pic's receipt) I had a conversation about rare 7800 games with another fellow customer, he was near the counter/register, & I was by the door/Playstation games so we were basically talking the length of the store, so anyone in the place HAD to hear us- including the owner.

     

    I mentioned I used to have some of the rarer 7800 titles- Ninja Golf, Commando, Alien Brigade, but since sold them years back. & Im pretty sure the other guy started rattling of what these titles are currently worth.

     

    So the owner almost certainly knew what he had there...usually that place is too expensive for my tastes, but thats a damn good find.

    Apology accepted, Jin!

     

    Yes, I think I DID use PS2 Activision Anthology for a game, may have been Beamrider? Or Frostbite before I owned the cartridge.

     

    So yeah, it's not like I'm anywhere near winning it all, there's no reason for me to cheat at these games, IIRR I'm ranked in the bottom half of the HSC leader board. I'm not rising to the top anytime soon. I just enjoy playing, & making time to play Atari, if I can squeeze it into my schedule.

     

    & was recently considering selling my kids' 2 DSLites & games, but I should keep one for the Activision Anthology when the contest calls for a game I dont have on Atari. & if I keep one, I should keep both, b/c the Atari & Namco Museum collections let you llnk up for multiplayer (Pac Man, Warlords, Combat 2, etc)

    Unless otherwise noted by S.BAZ, who has the final word, Oystron MUST BE PLAYED on Atari 2600 VCS, using your console or Stella Emulator.

     

    By 2600 HSC Rules:

    "...please stay away from "questionable" emulation, such as DCStella (as it does not seem to run at full speed) as well as the 10-in-1 joysticks with Atari games, the Atari Flashback, or the Intellivision collection CD's and similar commercial products. Usually these games are not emulated properly (or, in fact, completely rewritten!), which leads to slightly different gameplay and different scoring. Also, you have to play the actual 2600 version for your score... scores from (for example) the 5200 or ColecoVision port will not count. However, if these options are easier for you, then it may be worthwhile to practice with these games before taking a real run on an actual system or emulator."

    Well if thats the case, I'm out for this round. But I seem to recall being allowed in a previous season to play a game on something other than my actual Atari.

     

    Bonus (if allowed): I think we need an updated/better version of golf.

    It's really not that hard to figure out, especially considering that almost every phone being made these days has a camera built in.

    Thx for the modern technology lesson! I take pics with my phone all the time. I just dont feel it necessary to post score pics here since I dont lie about them & my word should be good enough.

    Yeah, I usually look at this site on my 1930s ipad, which cant handle tons of pics/videos anymore. So why would I contribute to that?

     

    I can try to get one uploaded IF I get a chance to play again this week. You likely wont believe this either but I have about an hour freetime any given day to myself, & it's not often spent playing Atari. Those days were over about 20 years ago.

     

    Again, I assure you Im not the kind of person who'd do/does that. If you dont believe what I post, thats on you. It's the truth.
