Funny how games you never spent much time on as a kid can become addicting later in life. I'm plugging away on this one...Though the force has not been with me as of yet 240,710

Man this is tough... I'll run with Gyruss........

I'm in, but only if it runs after season 6... The knockouts during regular season & multi game rounds absorb enough time. BATTLEZONE ZAXXON

There is a thread somewhere here, where a few of us asked about an official fix... The original programmer made some promises to fix and make available, but to date , I dont think that ever happened. Al was nice enough to put a Possible Mission cart together for me and I'm loving it, though I wished the Evil Otto voice at the beginning and end were in the Atari version.

62,535 This game has carpal tunnel written all over it ! If you have lots of time and a rubber firing finger/wrist this is the game for you !! Beauty scores guys !

I have every game loose, including some of the home brews and protos. I have every released game boxed, some sealed with the exception of bounty bob strikes back and I wont be paying anywhere nearing a grand for one so I suppose that will be my white whale I have one NOS boxed 2 port and my beloved work horse 2 port. [4] 4 ports in all. 1 NOS boxed from '82, [1] used boxed , [1] * model , and my main 4 port which is my main gaming unit . 2 trak balls, both NOS boxed, one early production,one late. 1 nos boxed vcs adapter. As for controllers there are too many to count used and NOS. I dont use Wicos as I am left handed. I modify all of my Competition pro sticks for left hand use. There are 2 things which I really want is the 5200 briefcase for storage and a CLEAN Kiosk !! .. I've passed over a few of each, just not buying to buy. Not sure if I missed anything other than some goofy factory accessories . I love the 5200 !!!!

22,600

I was going to sit this season out, but what the hell... late start and 10,900

I have a couple grand into my 5200 venture, but it's been well worth the undertaking and far more entertaining than the 7800.

I am VERY happy with 5200 Tempest, but will go on record saying that sound and game play are not arcade as I know someone with an original arcade Tempest and do know the game well. To me, it plays very much like the unfinished Tempest as seen on some of the 128 in 1 carts but is much more fluid if that makes any sense. Sound is nearly identical to that unfinished version. I'd liken it to many of the Atari 5200 namesake ports that are limited by their platform, Asteroids comes to mind . I have not played the finished version with a trak-ball yet as I prefer a CX-52 . The way I see it, we are VERY lucky to have a 100% playable version at all, so buy the cart boxed while you can. As soon as Al has it available I plan to buy 2 more copies boxed, one for my younger brother who got me started on Atari 34 years ago and another as a keepsake for myself ! So much work went into this particular game, it's an absolute must have !

5500 Hell I lose most of my lives before I even get into the water.

59 points could be the difference for some between 2nd through 5th place...

Come on guys Breakout !!

I'll make the same motion that I did at this time last season. A "few" weeks off before we begin another long season might be good for all involved ? Anyone to second the motion ?

Looks like another participation point round for me .

51,925 This morning is the first chance I have had to play this one, and may be the last.

LMFAO !!!!

So can anyone clarify whether this is available through the programmer or not ? I guess if its going to be an option on the 5200 HSC club in the last 2 rounds, and pressing hard for a 3rd place finish, I guess I have to bend over.

Often said.....Buy a 5200.

9540 This game can become quite addicting once you begin to get the hang of it. Another fun/new that the game the HSC has put in front of me

finally getting the hang of this one, but have figured out to stay away form the 7th stage warp as it seems better to build your points clearing a wave and moving on slowly.. good tip on the tunnel dots. I cleared them but did not know what for.. I have seen the mothership of whatever it is called as soon as I leave the tunnels. will it take the dots from me or do I have to push a button to offload them ?

Mine isn't so hot either, and I didn't have surgery

7770 First chance I have had to play this one....I have no clue what I am doing.

Well since I detest Pacman and super breakout has no votes.... Robotron it is .
