Mr. Campbell.... No Teddy Bear scores please. Thanks!

Sorry, I cannot accept this. Good attempt though!

I will be doing the Bonus today and hopefully updating the overall standings.

Demon Attack was already taken by another player. Please post another game pic.

TODAY is the last day for Stargate/DefenderII. This Weeks ends in 14 hours!

Vocelli: Very Cool Game I did not play as a kid. Defender II: 59000 Hope to score better today

Yes, I see how I worded it ... my fault. It is the Overall rank. Thanks! Vocelli

Jason, You finished Overall in 4th place in Season 9. But your Pac-Man score, Season 10, came in 8th place. You would have had to finish in 4th place to get the points. Thanks, Vocelli

Okay... fixed a couple of mistakes from Week 1 in the overall standings. Whew. In my younger days.... ah, nevermind. Thanks guys.

Ok... The Overall Standings are posted. If you see a mistake..... please let me know in a PM. (So we don't clog the posts... and to hide my inabilities to have a perfect week 😄) Also, on another note.... A question. Ran out of Rubbing Alcohol to clean my games... The stores have ZERO left (I have checked for weeks) Is there anything else I can use to clean my games so I can play them on my original Atari2600?

Ok... All scores should be up to date. WHEW!!! I am also giving Evandro until tomorrow morning to post another Ms PacMan score using the actual Ms Pacman Atari 2600 version. Thanks. Be patient everyone... calculating the overall standings after week 1 may take some time.

This week is Over. I will update all scores later today. I slept in and I am late for work.

Vocelli: Ms Pac-Man: 74270

Last Day to Compete/Post for these 2 games! We have a HUGE number of players!

Vocelli: PacMan: 6686 While not a bad game... it was my most disappointing game as a child. The poor hit detection made me so angry. Ms PacMan: 40310 Really good game! Put together very well. While I am not a Pac-Fan... I can appreciate a good game.

Okay the weeks will look like this... Thursday/Friday: New Game will be posted unless it is a 2 week special This will give you several games to play every weekend. Sundays will be the last day to play on any given week.... check the posted dates for all games. On Tuesdays/Wednesdays I will calculate the OVERALL STANDINGS and post them. ((I do make mistakes.... Please double check your scores on your 'pocket calculator' (Kraftwerk song by the way)). PM me if you see mistakes. Enjoy.... You may post your Stargate/Defender II scores NOW! You don't have to post every week. So if you missed Week 1... still post Week 2. Just post when you can on the weeks you can. And.... everyone together... HAVE FUN!

Yes! We have just started the New Season.... Season 10! Head on over to the Atari 2600 High Score Club and post some scores. No need to play the whole season. Have fun.... Get Tips. Doesn't matter if you are good or bad. It gives you a reason to play some games! Thanks, Vocelli

Question from Magmavision: Also, are Genesis controllers legal or are they considered cheating (I used an original joystick, but I prefer d-pads for maze games)? You can use any controller you want just as long it would not give you an unfair advantage like 'super fast firing' or 'slow-mo' or anything like that. Thanks!

The Atari 2600 High Sore Club. WELCOME!!! to Season 10 of the Atari HSC! This year should be a great one. 95% of the games are set. And it is a good mix of popular and unpopular games. For the NEW players... it is a wise idea to download an emulator like Stella to be able to compete every week (Someone can post a link for Stella). Although, you don't have to post scores every week. There is really no commitment and we like to just have fun! Why we play? ~Most of us play for fun. Casual play and casual posting of scores. The HSC gets us try games out that we normally may never play. We compare notes/tips/tricks. ~Some play to compete for BIG high scores and to try and beat our own personal bests. ~ Some do a mix of both casual and sometimes BIG high scores. No matter why you play.... Have fun! Read over the rules. NO save states. Try some games and most of all..... Yes, HAVE FUN!
