On Pooyan... In Level 2 a giant rock always fall on my head... How do i prevent this. The manual says... When six wolves have safely reached the top, they can start dropping large rocks down on the Mother Pig. To prevent them from doing this, you must get rid of the flashing 'boss wolf'. The 'boss wolf' will appear when there are only 5 wolves left. If you fail to get the boss wolf, five more wolves will float up. Who is the Boss Wolf? Is the Boss Wolf floating up as well? Someone please explain this. Thanks!

DK Bonus: 11,000

The Overall Standing after Week 1 is posted! PLEASE check your score and points... As we know... I make mistakes (I try not to but I am old 😉)

Please check your scores for Week 1. I will begin to tally the points and post the Overall Standings from Week 1 on the Week 2 Thread. Keep posting your Millipede Scores for Week 2. Week 3 will feature two lesser known Arcade games!

@TheActivisionary Your score on Berzerk is 5700. I compared the numbers and 8's look a bit different. Thanks, Vocelli

Millipede: 396,300 Love this game and I am always amazed how much goes on when you hit higher scores. 5 SPIDERS!!!

Slight Improvement Venture: 10700

Today is the last day to post scores for Venture and Berzerk!

Players: You can start with any 'Starting Score' for your points. And rollage for this competition will be 975,000. So once you beat 975,000 you don't have to play anymore.

Finally Got some time to play: Venture: 10500 Really like this in the arcade. The 2600 is a good challenge. Berzerk: 9890 One of my favorites on Game 9. Love the challenge! I know I can get higher!

For those of you new to the HSC... Keep playing and posting scores on Venture and Berzerk! You may also play and post scores for Millipede and the Bonus. Enjoy!

Season 11 in the Atari 2600 HSC has just started! Come Join the FUN!

WELCOME! I am sure it is Feb 4 somewhere... So lets get STARTED! This season we will have a few games that we always seem to circle back to. We will have some cool Imagic games. We have picks by last years winners! We have many games that have NOT been played in while or never have been played. AND we have 3 GREAT homebrew games that the Creators themselves have given me permission to use for our Homebrew weeks! These Homebrew games have NEVER been played in the HSC and will be a big treat for us and will allow the Creators to play/chime-in with tips and tricks! Overall, I think of it as a 'Mix Tape' of games. I used to make 'Mix Tapes' on cassettes and give them to my friends way back in the 1970's and 80's. There would be some familiar songs and some songs they never heard of. I think the 2600 HSC is exactly like that! So, I present to you... Season 11 Atari 2600 High Score Club! Good Luck and start posting!

For ALL Homebrew Game makers! I am Vocelli.... I am the moderator for the 2600 High Score Club. Last season we started something new. We had actual creators of homebrew games submit their games to be considered for the High Score Club Homebrew weeks. So, yes....Get your Homebrew Game played by the 2600 High Score Club for Season 11. I am accepting submissions of COMPLETED Games. Your game, if picked, will be played in June of 2021 during our special Homebrew weeks. I like to choose games that the creators themselves submit so they can 'chime in' with tips/strategies. Last season we set some very high scores on the following games: Doggone It! City Defence Ms. Galactapus Check it out here! The games from season 10 were also featured on a special episode of ZeroPageHomebrew on Twitch! Great exposure. PLEASE respond to me in a private PM. I will be picking 3 games from the games that are submitted by the end of January. The games will be played in the High Score Club in June! Thanks! Vocelli
