    2600 version would probably be easier, and it's a better game than the 8-bit/5200 version.

     

    Just never cared much for the way the blocks dissipate rather than disappear and the game options are fairly lame. I love the c-380 and 2600 versions and can play all day.

    I simply lose interest with the analog controller on this game.

    Curious if there would be a way to port the original breakout from the C-380 to a 5200 cart, but not having a top out at 864 ?

     

    Seems so many dislike the 5200 super breakout, myself included.

    This was an awesome round. I like the 3 game format as it kind of adds an element of suspense to the mix as well as lets some of us non pros stay in the mix a little :).

     

    The space invaders back and forth was really a blast to watch ,congrats on big scores !

     

    I agree with Zylon in that for galaxian, a dark room where you can fully see the screen is key. You really need to feel the game rather than try to follow it or watch it for lack of a better term.

     

    My high score was accomplished in a room with no window or patio door reflection [at my inlaws] and I went nearly 35,000 without losing the first ship.

    my stumbling block was in the 35-36k range as the game transitions from slow to faster paced. Once I got the feel for that , it seemed to get easier and easier. The day I hit 38k I was consistently hitting 34-36K over a 6 hour period if that gives an idea on the time put into it. Oddly enough that was the same day I hit the 4700 in game 9 . I wished I had stuck with it longer that day I just grew tired and went to other games to get the heart rate back down.

     

    I played at home during the last few days of this round , my entire living room is glass so I had tons of reflections which does hamper the feel aspect as you then begin to look and anticipate rather than using the force :)

     

    As I tried to play game 12 in SI for the bonus point last night, I got frustrated and went back to galaxian game 9, I hit 4980 but in a hurry back to SI ,I didn't snap a pic though it wouldn't have mattered as 5800 was the bench mark {beauty score by the way}.

     

    I'm happy I could contribute and am ecstatic to have broken an HSC record. Truth be told I didnt care much for galaxian on the 5200 over the years , never put a dimes worth of time in it until this past round, was really hoping to light it up on megamania and fell short, its funny how things work out.

     

    Well, off to pacman .

    Well, I am gonna run with the following numbers [all previously posted].. I just didn't have the time to put into SI this round, so placing a score simply to fill the 3 games. no game 12 score to report.

     

     

    Galaxian; 38,890

    Galaxian game 9: 4,720

    Megamania: 66,160

    Space Invaders: 870

     

    That awesome Galaxian run should help the SI go down easier. :thumbsup:

    A suggestion, if I may; you only need 321 points on either SI game 12 or gain that many more in G9 to qualify for the last bonus spot. I'm just saying. :)

     

     

    thanks for the heads up , I'll get busy then :)

    Zylon,

    can you beat your own score to get further bonus points or is it one point per round for beating the HSC record?

    I ask because I humbly beat the HSC record, and now my own high 4 times today :)

     

    not getting greedy here, just asking.

    Nope. One to a customer per game. :) If what you're saying is true, I'd post it quickly so no one else gets a point. ;) Right now, if someone breaks your current record, they get a point.

     

     

    Score posted yesterday though I am working on raising the mark :).

     

    I agree some very good scores being put up. especially in SI ! Ive always had trouble with that game outside of the arcade anyway.

    I found it and entered your last tally. :) Please use a separate post for new scores unless yours was last post. I wouldn't want to miss any. :)

     

    It's been said that play would suffer after 2 of our better members "had to leave". I'd argue the opposite. 2 of 3 standing records busted in one round, records that have been passed by 2 players per game so far; I think this HSC is at the top of it's game right now. :thumbsup:

    Normally, I play gentlemanly and only post another score if mine is threatened or passed. I would frown on needless pumping of numbers. This round is different by design. ;)

    If you get better numbers, get 'em in. There will be no ties in this all-out shootout. Combined score will decide ties after all round points assigned. HSC record bonus pts will be added to season total.

    The Megamania record is within reach. Will anyone take it down?

     

     

    I had just been editing my main post with an updated score as they come in... no pumping on my end , just never know when something comes up around the house and I cant get back online and I dont want to miss out this time :)...

    will post my final score sin a separate posting near the end of this round... This has been my favorite round so far... I like the idea of the 3 games..

    I never put much time into the 5200 version of galaxian...played about 20 times this week and my score jumped dramatically.... Will have another entry for this game, but just in case want what I have so far.
