Cousin Vinnie

Sorry to offend you. If it was up to me, I would play every 7800 game in this High Score Club...but I'm trying to keep it fun for everyone. Most people think those games I destined as lame are too lame to play. There were groans about Choplifter And oh yeah...I'm a little familiar with the 7800, jerky-pants: http://www.flipsiderunner.com/7800 Cousin Vinnie

47, 897 103 points away from an extra life CV

no.

Nope! I mean Normal mode. It can only be found by the Atari 7800 Game Genie. So I will have to throw your score out. CV

OK you arcade port freaks, here it be: Centipede. Do your dirtiest evils against each other. I think the game is fairly tough, so we'll play on Normal mode. Here are the current point standings: 1. Jedi Jeff 20 2. Trip Cannon 17 2. Cousin Vinnie 17 4. Rockman X 15 5. NE146 8 6. BJK 7 6. Goochman 7 8. Shannon 6 9. Devo 5 10. Atari Wizard 0 10.

OK, Cool...I'll add ya. Cousin Vinnie PS: Get more 7800 games

My thoughts are that Klax can be played on an emulator, and Winter Games is tons more fun than Summer Games. Summer Games blows the big hairy donkey. CV

I vote for Hat Trick Cousin Vinnie

Before we get too far into this thang, I was wanting opinions to help make the HSC better and to make sure everyone has a fair chance. The Atari 2600 HSC can go forever, but we have a severe disability due to the fact that we have only about 40 or so playable games. Here is what I came up with for a game pool....meaning all of these games will be played at least once to decide the HSC winner (for the online beer). I need to know if these any of games are too rare to obtain and unplayable on an emulator. I also need to know if an elimintated game should be included and why. Played Games: Tower Toppler, Ninja Golf, Mario Brothers, Ms. Pac-Man, Robotron, Choplifter! Game Pool: IN: Dig Dug Food Fight One-on-One Basketball Fatal Run Motor Psycho Robotron: 2084 Pole Position II Double Dragon Ace of Aces Deset Falcon Jinks Basketbrawl Impossible Mission Meltdown Crossbow Centipede Hat Trick Midnight Mutants Super Skateboardin' Alien Brigade Asteroids Ballblazer Commando Crack'ed Dark Chambers Donkey Kong Donkey Kong, Jr Galaga Joust Klax Kung Fu Master Mean 18 Pete Rose Planet Smashers Rampage Scrapyard Dog Winter Games (I have a great idea for this one) Xenophobe Xevious Games That Are Out: Fight Night (No way to Score) F-18 (Sucks too bad) Karateka (No Way to Score) Mat Mania (Not fun enough to play) Sentinel (Too rare) Summer Games (Not fun enough to play) Super Huey (Lame) Tank Command (Too rare and too lame) Title Match (ditto) Tomcat (Too lame) Touchdown Football (Too lame as well) Water Ski (Too rare and too lame) Well, that's it. Please give me opinions and info. Cousin Vinnie

Shooting Game: Crossbow Arcade Game: Centipede Sports Game: Hat Trick Action/ Adventure Game: Midnight Mutants Puzzle Game: Super Skateboardin' Voting Ends Sunday at 11:59PM. Enjoy! Cousin Vinnie

I am shocked that somebody actually enjoyed some of these games But, I'm glad you did. Cousin Vinnie

I like Basketbrawl alot. I guess you can tell by my avatar... look at him. Little Vinnie, punching that mean ole man. You go man, you go! GO MAN GO! Kick his A--! Um...excuse me... Cousin Vinnie

Did you get 64 this week? Cousin Vinnie

If you get 64, you will be treated to a SPECIAL ENDING!!! Yeah, it blinks congratulations. Here is a tip, and how I got 64: When you see a tank approaching and people be running about, get the heck up and fly away from the tank. Get kinda far from it (like 3 seconds of flying time) and when you go back to the running fools, it will not be there. Then you get like 6-8 seconds of peace. I can't believe I got it either. But I did Cousin Vinnie

Well heck folks, here ya go: Tomcat F-14 Flight Simulator Review www.flipsiderunner.com/7800/tomcatr.html I know this review isn't that great because I started preaching in it, but tell me what you guys think of the new look of the reviews with the rankings and awards & junk. Thanks alot. Cousin Vinnie

Since I like Donkey Kong, it is impossible to beat Very Hard in almost any mode with him in Super Smash Brothers. They really made him stink thjis time around, even though I like how he fights (like Zangief) he has too many weaknesses against several fighters at once. Cousin Vinnie

I like the Proline sticks, def my favorite controller of the old systems. And no, there is no give away on the box to inform you whether or not you have a red end label for Ballblazer. You must open it up to see it. Cousin Vinnie www.flipsiderunner.com/7800

Woo hoo I got 64 and the "secret ending message!!!" Wooooo-WOOOOOOOOOO!!! Secret.....Message....WOooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOO! Wow, I can't believe I did it, but I did, but I did, and I thank ya. Cousin Vinnie

Well, we gotta play a few stinkers or this HSC will last 20 weeks. LOL Of course, I will draw the line at Super Huey... Cousin Vinnie

If those are 22 7800 games, it is def. worth it. $3 a game is reasonable for 7800 common games. Cousin Vinnie

Yes, Meltdown is a light gun game. Getting over 60 on Choplifter isn't easy for me Sega's Choplifter! is the only game on the Master system I liked at all. Cousin Vinnie

Might I add that not only is Jedi Jeff our leader after 5 events, he has ran the cycle in the shortest amount of time possible! He has 1 win, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, and a 5th. Wowsers. I vote this week for Basketbrawl, by the way. Cousin Vinnie
