Hmmm, all strategy for the last few rounds... Choose wisely grasshoppers

That seller is usually high on every Atari item he lists. I'll readily admit though that I made a couple of "must have" purchases from him early on , but learned real quick my money goes much further elsewhere. I've seen several boxed covers in the past 2 years sell on ebay for less than $50...Then again I've seen a few go for more, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. . I find and pass over nice used ones with frequency for $15-20. It's nice to have an original or two for your collection, but if you are actually using them, I'd spend the money on one of those black ones that are embroidered on ebay. BTW; She will make whatever you want !

I have 3 original covers...They all look like this.

Them b-tard irons cost me huge this round !!! It's all good though and am happy to see the scores finally coming in for this port !!

I would agree that the 2600 version is maybe smoother, .. more fluid ?... Graphics on the 5200 far superior . hey there are pos/negs on the Up ports.

I am with you all the way, and I fell into the same trap.... I kept telling my wife all week that I needed a minimum of 85k to win this round... I may have over played my hand far to early posting, but figured as the scores kept going up and the lack of participation , why not post every score !!!! Once you put up your BIG score, and after nearly 40 hours of continual play , pulling my hair out , I had had enough... This is one of my all time fave 5200 games, to best my personal by 2.5 times was great, and rather than ruin it, and never want to play it again, I figure I now have another milestone to breach , live to play another day. Cafeman, for lack of a better term, you have dick swinging my friend ,your score this round is beyond awesome & I am happy to see you win !!

172,260 Having scored 61k last season on this game I am very happy with this score ,which might be as far as I can get. There is a lot to be said for NEVER turning off your console when you are hot as I have hit a brick wall playing Some claim repetition makes perfect, I believe it also can lead to bad habits and mistakes in places that would otherwise never rear their head. I'm wiped out !!! Cafeman that is one show stopping score !! This may be one of those scores that never falls !

Ditto !

Mark-ups are non issue as I had no clue what the release price was . I simply compared it to a boxed cart release. My concern is that we are clearly not keeping players... We started with how many , and are now back down to the scant few of us ? Hopefully, the guys that jumped on board during our early rounds this season, who then dropped out, will climb back on and see that they can win "their" games as well as better themselves on the games that they have over looked... I know this forum has dramatically done that for me, and I cant thank you guys enough for having me !!!! The 5200 club is a great thing....

At a $60 offering "today" by a "forum member" after a scant 50 sold .....NO box, NO manual ,NO label, this is not only a no go 5200 HS club game , there should be no complaint with Tempests price which was at least made available through the AA store, boxed and professional like !! Based on the lack of participation the 2nd half of our season ,gauntlet as well as tempest may be a knock out round games at best.

$60 for a game with no box ,manual or cart label? and guys complained about the price of tempest .

looks like gauntlet is sold out, I never got even got a response to my PM.. gonna suck if I cant play that round.

I say take full advantage of the game as it is supposed to be played ,or scrap it.

I got in line a while ago and never heard back... Will suck when I cant play it on the 5200 club...

I was hoping for space fury... obviously I can't spell either...

Thanks champ !

I have troubles with those things that drop down in 3 straight lines and move side to side.. Most of my life losses are in the early to middle rounds. once I am over 80k it seems to get easier for me. its faster and I can react rather than wait. Rings and bow ties are snap for me.

I think I've played myself out for the day...Was hitting high 150k's all afternoon then I went cold and couldn't get over 40k !!! I know I have another 25-30k in me somewhere

166,220 Camera back up and running and I finally found my game !

101,600 My floppy took a dump on me and I am at our cottage without another... I'll beat this mark.

Uh-Oh ! The format negotiations begin

Impossible Mission 2 Space Fury

Loosely reminds me of Sinistar.
