HighScore.com Contest: $50 AtariAge gift certs to winners

[HighScore.com Contest: $50 AtariAge gift certs to winners]

I am working on implementing an advanced search as we speak, that will allow searching just for specific consoles/systems.

 

Perfect ! This will definitely improve browsing high scores and looking for a specific console / game combination

 

I definitely want to support Amiga. I just haven't added any Amiga games to the database yet. Whatever Amiga games you want to submit scores for, just let me know, and I will add the games to the database.

 

I'm very glad to hear this ! I'll come up with some Amiga games for you to add to your website I'll leave a reply hear this weekend !

 

Note that the site does have categories for emulated consoles, so you can submit scores for emulated Atari games. It is just that for the 3 specific games in this contest, the eligible category is for real hardware. You can still earn prizes in the contest for other things (like total points, number of "worldwide trophies", etc.)

I'll definitely look into this. I am more of an Arcade / Mame kind of guy but Atari has a very large community so I'll definitely give it a shot

...and I can still earn prizes....cool !

Happy to answer your questions.

 

Yes, assuming that ROM is the same code that is on the cartridge sold in the AtariAge store, yes you could use it. However, it would need to be loaded (via Harmony cart, or some other method, like a Supercharger) onto a real 2600-compatible console. (Not an emulator). The idea was for this to be played using the Lady Bug cartridge in a real console, but as long as it is the same code running on real hardware, there's no practical difference.

 

Expert mode is selected using the switches on a 2600-compatible console (via the difficulty switches).

The only qualifying type of game would be what you listed as option c above (played in expert mode on real hardware, not emulation). A game played via an emulator would not qualify for this particular prize.

 

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have other questions.

 

@ Serious: thank you for clarifying

 

I will unfortunately not be able to sumit a Lady Bug score since I don't have an original Atari 2600 console ;(

I will however post Mame-scores !

 

Two more things:

1. I would like to be able to post scores for Commodore Amiga 500 since I do own an original console I hope you will add this console....!

2. It would be nice if you could search by systemname on highscore.com. Would this be possible for you to add ?

 

Thanks again,

Hello,

 

I'm really interested in joining the High Score competition but I need some help

I'm completely new to the Atari scene so I need some help with choosing the correct romset.

 

Lady Bug

I would for example like to play Lady Bug so I have chance for an Atari store gift certificate

Reading post #1 I have to use: Lady Bug (Atari 2600), Game 1 (Standard), Expert mode (A) (no emulation)

 

When I go to Hiscore.com and search for Lady Bug it's giving me few options:

a. Lady Bug (Atari 2600 Emulated Expert/A Mode)

b. Lady Bug (Atari 2600 Emulated Novice/B Mode)

c. Lady Bug (Atari 2600 Expert/A)

d. Lady Bug (Atari 2600 Novice/B)

 

Question 1: can I use the LadyBug_SP.zip romset available at the atariage website?

Question 2: do I have to go for option a. or c. ? Ar these some kind of dip switch settings you can choose when running the game trough an emulator like Stella ?

Quetions 3: or does "no emulation" (see blue text) mean you have to play on an original Atari 2600 to have a chance for the Atari certifcate ? Or can you use an emulator ? If so, which romset and settings do you have to use (see Question 1 and 2)

 

Hope to hear from you

[MAME/Arcade High Score Club Season 5.32: Jump Bug]

Hi everyone !

 

I'm new to the forum but I have always been kind of a hi-score junkie

 

Here's my first submission for Jump Bug. I'll really have to practice some more...

 

points: 15,050

initials: DEN (short for Dennis )

settings as post #1

I do have a question about the Leaderboard since I'm a newcomer:

from what I understand you earn Leaderboard points depending on your game position at the end of the week. Do those points always stick with you or only trough out the season ? When season 6 starts will there be a new Leaderboard or is it's kind of an All-Time-Leaderboard ? I hope a newcomer - like myself - will have the same chances for a good leaderboard-position as someone already playing for several seasons. I hope the Leaderboard points will go back to zero when season 6 starts. Is this the case ?

 

Thanks !
