    Season 8 ~ Week 1 ~ Dragonfire

    in 2600 High Score Club

    Posted

    Took a season off and don’t have a Season 7 Rank…. Post a score and get 10 bonus points.

    Or

    Be a NEW member to the HSC (That means you have NEVER played in any season of the Atari 2600HSC) and post a score and receive DOUBLE points the first week!

     

    3670 - CobraMJD +4 (+4)

    Maybe I should request to be a guy with no Season 7 rank, cause then I can get 10 bonus point, since being new with so many people gave me only 4 points. :skull:

    Boy, is this hard or what? I don't have the mental stamina to go over 10K...never even mind +100K, there are some true cyborgs here :)

     

    I won't lie, the promise of double points for a noob was a major factor for me even trying... Hopefully do better in the next round.

     

    Dragonfire: 8270

    I cant get half of that.

     

    Oh, I am so very excited! This is the season where I'm going to try and reach the finals! Let's go!!

     

    Dragonfire: 2360

    ...How long until Season 9 starts?

     

    Yeah, it was not a smart choice to start participating for the first time with Dragonfire, I will get a double points from a very low score. ;(

    I usually post that in the image, guess I forgot.

     

    I usually use keyboard, but I had to remap my keys to a letter combination from the arrow keys, because on my laptop the up/down are too small and too close together. I do have a MS Sidewinder, but I find the D-pad too mushy. If I had an old analog joystick port like on the old Soundblasteds, I would use my Gravis game pad. It was very responsive.

     

    Yeah I hate those very little arrow, its spread on almost all notebooks, my Acer has all four arrows at a small size.

    I forgot to say on my post that I'm using Analog sticks of my Joystick, which resemble a little of the difficulty to play on a real Atari joystick.

     

    Which follow to my question to you, for curiosity, Keyboard, Digital D-Pad, Analog, other ?

    There isnt a good way to address it. People in PAL regions with real hardware need to play PAL versions, people with real hardware in NTSC regions need to play NTSC versions. It is only us dirty emulator players that have a choice in the matter. I cannot fault players who want to play the slightly slower PAL version if they have the option. The only way to fix it would be to require HSC players to use a Harmony cart and download a speed corrected 50Hz NTSC or speed corrected 60Hz PAL version. I doubt that all roms have speed corrected versions already created for them.

     

    PS: My scores last year and this year are with the NTSC version, because I find the PAL version unbearably slow and it messes with the timing I am used to.

     

    I dont think only by emulators you get that advantage, I say cause I once participate on a Gran Turismo 4 Time Trial tournament, and it was proved that in the PAL game, you would get lower time reaching the same spot. Of course, clock time on Racing game its not the same as here, na Atari game.

    But, yes, at least on emulation participant we should set to only use the NTSC version. Unless if anyone shows that the game is faster on PC than the original hardware.

    Sadly I never played this game on my real Atari, and I 'felt' this game super fast.

    Are you telling that I am a cheater? Is there any money prize to win the Atari 2600 HSC, or with what end I am supposed to cheat, or are you telling that the score of 225740 obtained in season 3 by Botbird is false.

    Season 3 scores

    I'm not telling anything, just surprised, and made a nearly retoric question.

    Congratulations on your score

    What happens after Generation Atari?

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    Well, I lived all my childhood 83-91 with the VCS, and I'm 35, so I will propagate for a good amount of time (I hope) how good it was Atari.

    The fear we must have it just like the Genesis, if the new generation thinks those At&T garbages are true Genesis(Mega Drive) games.
