Mister VCS

ColecoVision Console Drives me crazy with sprite problems C Mister VCS rating: B (my -third- CV console is working fine since i bought it in 1998) Antarctic Adventure It's cool but sometimes I don't care if the game ends B Mister VCS: B Bump N Jump arcade accurate A Mister VCS: A- (good conversion) Carnival Just about arcade perfect A Mister VCS: A Cosmic Avenger Takes some warming up to and I may give it an A some day B Mister VCS: B- (scrolling?!) Defender The best home console port out there A Mister VCS: B- ( I miss the right "Defender-feeling" Atari 2600 Stargate/Defender II is the better choice) Donkey Kong Not arcade perfect but back in the day it was jaw dropping A Mister VCS: B (this game needs "fine-tuning") DK Jr. Same as DK A Mister VCS: A (more fun and better colors than the Atari 8-bit DK Jr.) Frenzy The music in this game is hilarious A Mister VCS: B- (good arcade-port, but this game is boring) Gorf A lot of people don't like it because it's not arcade perfect. But, I always loved this one... A Mister VCS: B (average arcade-port) Jumpman Junior Pretty cool but doesn't make it into the cartridge slot that often B Mister VCS: C- (THIS is the ColecoVision?) Lady Bug Arcade perfect? Close... A Mister VCS: A- (close, but "only" a maze-game) Miner 2049er The graphics look like hell and I still haven't figured out how to make it past level 2. Otherwise... A Mister VCS: A- ( a "-" for the ugly colors) Mouse Trap One of the few instances where the home version is better than the arcade. Very addicting and more to it than Pac-Man. So stop calling it "just another maze game"... A Mister VCS: A (cool music) Mr. Do! It rocks A Mister VCS: A- (it rocks with a few "bugs") Pepper II I love this game. Very addicting. A Mister VCS: B (just don't like this kind of game) Pitfall All they did was touch things up from the 2600 version. Disappointing. C Mister VCS: B (you are not dissappointed if you know the CV-version of Pitfall II...) Pitstop The actual racing portion of the game is cool but working the pits is really clumsy. Pick this one up only if you have the driving controller. C Mister VCS: C- (ugly and boring) Popeye Only the NES version is better. A Mister VCS: A (nothing more to say here) Q*bert It's hard to screw this one up A Mister VCS: A (see Popeye) River Raid Activision really didn't put too much effort in taking advantage of what the CV has to offer. C Mister VCS: A (fun game, good scrolling) Smurf Fun for the entire family but gets monotonous. C Mister VCS: C (see rmaerz) Space Fury It's good but not good enough. B Mister VCS: ?? (have to play this these days) Space Panic I really prefer this one over the arcade game. But, the game isn't all that anyway. B Mister VCS: A- (I like it) Spy Hunter It's got the music and nice graphics. They should have made this compatible with the driving controller. A Mister VCS: B (not "my" game) Star Wars Nice audio, great graphics, lousy controls. C Mister VCS: B- (controlling is ok, but this game is too slow) Subroc I love this one. Shoot boats, UFOs, balloons, ships, bombs, trash cans and some boss I can't tell what the heck he is... A Mister VCS: B (fun game, but no "killer-title") Turbo Nothing negative about this one A Mister VCS: A (see rmaerz) Tutankham The graphics are really good but I just can't get hooked on it B Mister VCS: B (see rmaerz) Venture You can't shoot through the moving walls which kind of sucks. Otherwise... A Mister VCS: B (lousy controls) Zaxxon I never got into Zaxxon. I always thought the game was made just to show off the graphics... C Mister VCS: A- (good port)

Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong Jr. and Joust

I am not into emulation - and i live in PAL-land. I am out if we play NTSC only. This round is a little bit confusing. Should I play all PP-tracks?

The object of the SKIING games is to successfully negotiate the course in the least amount of time. Join a polar expediton as you help a spunky penguin explorer speed through ten Antarctic ice stations. HSC Christmas-Double-Round This contest ends on Saturday, 01-01-2011 at 1:00 AM eastern.

Space Shuttle and Spikes Peak - I think i am not the only one...

I am a PAL-player with an Atari 600 XL and looking for a "PAL-team"...

I like this game - I hope i am not the only one here... I think it is important to destroy the "Water Walkers" as soon as possible in each level. 27,700 (this game is new in my collection)

Yes, but it was leaderboard 1.0...

Nova Blast is a side-scrolling shooter in which you must defend four shielded cities from invaders that attack from both in the air and on the ground. Each city has a bubble shield that can sustain one hit - another hit to an unshielded city will destroy it. Your ship is equipped with an energy beam that can absorb energy from energy tanks, and can also use that energy to create temporary shields around unprotected cities. The ship can also sustain up to ten blows in each round.

What is the difference between PAL and NTSC Pole Position? Is the PAL-version so much slower?

Ryan's score needs added to the list. Sorry, i am a little bit behind in updating the HSC -health problems at the moment, but Yurkie pointed the deadline out. I hope Ryan plays a few more HSC rounds!
