  1. Kung Fu Master 29260 - This game sucks because of the control. Berzerk 4530 - Has that addictive "Just one more try" quality. That's why it's one of the best 2600 games.
  2. Improvement 154600. A good A2600 port for sure. I get frustrated with the control at times though.
  3. It's been many years since I played the 2600 version of Dig Dug. Surprisingly, it holds up well. I didn't play in season 14 or in the last few seasons actually. I'll take my 10 bonus points please. I think I will bring my handheld to work tomorrow for a game or 2 on break. @gbagThat is a sweet @$$ pile of retro whatever in front of your Sony! Our family had that Wico joystick for our TI994A in the 80's! Oh the memories.....
  4. Its been a wile since I participated in High Score Club. I'd like to play a bit more this winter. These are some games I would like to play: Fast Eddie Fast Food Some variation of Berzerk Some variation of Space Invaders Keystone Kapers Seaquest River Raid II Frogger Worm War I Beamrider
  5. Bonus: Celestial Body - Rising Sun in Crash Dive
  6. I wish I put more time aside to play during the week. It's tax season, so I gotta make that money while I can. I've never played this until tonight. 6853 after a few runs. This is a really good game. It has a Defender vibe to it. I never had it when I was a kid. It really holds up and I do like it a lot. I think I'll hunt down a cart if it isn't too expensive.
  7. Millipede 66459 There is no doubt Millipede is a great 2600 game. I vaguely remember playing is as a kid. Today I played it for the first time since the 80's. And I realized at this point in my life, I don't have the reaction time for it's frantic nature. At least to try and compete for the crazy high scores all of you are getting. And the hit detection.....No doubt was intentionally designed to induce the loss of patience. I'll take this game in small doses, but no way I'll be competitive. For sure a good game for HSC.
  8. Berzerk 5490. I've had enough frustration. Venture 800. I got the first key. Never played it before. I have no patience for this kind of suck.
  9. I am using an Analogue NT Mini Noir - a FPGA system with the Intellivision core. I have it hooked up via component video to my late model CRT. I can get most games to work on the system, but I need to get a SNES or NES data pad controller with the number key pad. I think that is the only way I can have full functionality of the Intv library. Right now I am using a standard Nintendo SNES pad.
  10. First time playing the Intellivision version of Beamrider and first time playing in HSC. Like this version a lot.
  11. I've never played in the NES HSC, but I'm glad I found it. I play in the A2600 every so often when I can fit it in. The NES is underrated when it comes to arcade ports. There are quite a few of them. I figured I'd give this Ms. Pac-Man game variation a shot. I'll keep an eye on the NES HSC and play when I can. You guys are already in Round 11. Better late than never. Oh well. 22860 to start out with
  12. I haven't played much the last few years either, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. Quadrun, Beamrider, Fast Eddie, Fast Food, Worm War I, Reactor, Tac Scan (Paddle), Super Breakout (Paddle), Night Driver (Paddle), Wizard of Wor, Stargate, He-Man, Juno First (Homebrew), Sea Wolf (Homebrew), Pac-Man 4k (Homebrew), Lead 16k (Homebrew), Atlantis, Dig Dug, River Raid 2, Jungle Hunt, Battlezone, Frogs N Flies, Entombed, Lasercade
  13. Split the hair if you want. Just because he put "lol" doesn't mean it isn't true. I already provided information as to why it is. Care to make a case that this thread isn't a shell of it's former self full of complaining? I'd like to hear it.
  14. Too literally? Maybe you aren't taking it seriously enough? I highly advise joining the Classic Gaming Discord and checking out the Analogue channels. That is where you will gain perspective for comparison and understand. That is where the informative nuggets are by Kevtris and many other major announcements in the hobby. Plus all of the other channels have many relevant retro gaming developers contributing. Check out the pinned messages too. Full of great information and FAQs. I'm not a Twitter user, but there is a lot of information there too. This thread is full of tumble weeds and has significantly degenerated over the last few years. Its nothing like it was in its prime. Like Kevtris said, its full of complaining. That is hard to disagree with.
  15. This can be said for every single television or electronic device ever made. A year's support seems normal. Are you holding Analogue to a higher standard? If so, why? The bugs and issues that people are now complaining about with Analogue's systems are mostly minor glitches and edge cases that 99.9 percent of people will never notice. Nothing major or game breaking. Always going to have that, no matter the device. The major stuff has been fixed. People are acting like Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Castlevainia, Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, etc don't work. Also, a surprising number of bugs/glitches are native to the original games/consoles and are now just being discovered due to high scrutiny and Kevtris' accurate FPGA coding. The good far outweighs the bad. At some point, a business needs to draw a reasonable line and move on from support/updates for mature products. What bugs/glitches affect the games you want to play? Analogue's consoles are the best clones on the market. They offer a high quality solution to play retro games on modern televisions or CRTs. I haven't come across any bugs/glitches playing games on Analogue consoles, yet alone anything that breaks a game. And I own the NT Mini, SNT and Mega SG. If their are superior products on the market, I'd like to know. Right now, Analogue is the gold standard. Constructive criticism is good and major bugs should be fixed, but I think a lot of people are far down in the weeds with unrealistic expectations regarding firmware updates.
  16. Unfortunately part of your conclusion is based on stale information. Kevtris posts regularly on Discord and has not in this thread for some time. He has advised that he has help on his end. He is not the only one. Regardless if Kevtris was the only engineer, I don't know how it would relate to sustainability. Internally, Kevtris and Analogue may have an idea but the general public does not. Analogue has a great track record and has delivered on every system they have announced. I don't see anything Analogue is doing to indicate otherwise. Not sure what your point is other than to regurgitate complaints and negatively speculate. And that is exactly why he doesn't post in here anymore.
