Vocelli~ On the Board: Dig Dug: 286450 Love this game! Great port. Space Invaders Game 4B/B: 5980 Another Great port!

For New Players: You can continue to post scores for Dig Dug and Space Invaders until Midnight (EST) on Sunday Jan 21. The new Week 2 Game will be posted on Thursday Jan 18. You can start to submit scores for that game as soon as it is posted. That will give you several games to play every weekend. The UPDATED Standings after Week 1 will be posted on the Week 2 Thread on Monday or Tuesday (Jan 22 or Jan 23). ENJOY!

Switch your Difficulty. You can use the small ship (I was told the 2600+ Difficulty switches are reversed.).

Correct

Rollage is set at 950,000.

Correct.

Well. It's Jan 11 somewhere! Let the Games Begin! To all new players: We play for fun... but please play by the rules and play on the required settings for each game. You can post as many time each week as you like. You don't have to play every week. Just post some scores and enjoy the greatness of the 2600. You can miss some weeks with no problem. You don't have to play on original hardware. ANY system/emulator is fine as long as you don't get an unfair advantage. I will be updating scores every morning (EST) except when I go out of town, which is rare. If there are mistakes on my end with scoring or missed scores... please PM me and I will fix it... No Problem. Have a great Season. The HSC is designed for you to try games you normally would not have known or tried. Good Luck!
