Okay guys, I am leaving town again in a little bit. I won't be back till late Saturday night. So, I will do all the updating and posting of the new poll, either when I get back or on Sunday. We are having to go back and forth to Nashville (4 hours away) so we can move. John (my fiancee) has accepted a job there. So, it looks like I will be away off and on till we get moved. I hope y'all understand. Take care, and talk to you all again late this weekend.

I swore I fixed that... sorry about that!

I am leaving town in the morning and won't be back till late Saturday afternoon/evening. I will post the new game then. In the meantime, feel free to play whichever one wins the poll. You just won't be able to post your scores till I get the table up.

That's fine, am not hassling, like I say you're the boss!!! A lot of these are copies I have on multi-boot etc so not suitable for uploading to Atarimania I am just trying to be as fair as possible... and unfortunately I haven't had as much time to devote to doing the research lately as I would like. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I can spend more time doing what needs to be done, so that all of the games can be played... or at least voted on.

These sites are good for games if AtariMania is missing them: http://www.mushca.com/f/atari/index.php?idx=0 http://atari.fandal.cz/games.php http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.phtml?ct=katalog&sub=%23 Thanks for posting those links!! I didn't know about those websites. I already know about Homesoft, Fandal's site, and the Polish site. Some of the sites have "hacks" and we will not be playing those ROMs. For instance... Nibbler on the Homesoft site has you starting with 99 lives. I don't feel it is fair, and if I can't find the game on Atarimania, or check it out prior to game play, it will not be on the poll, until I can find an alternative. I am sorry if this seems harsh, but this is supposed to be for fun.

Thanks for the info! I use a PS3 joystick with the emu. Might need to check one of these out for the 1200XL.

A little bit further! 79,400

FINALLY got beyond level 4, only to be killed on level 5! 58,000

I can't seem to get past level 4! 45,300

If at all possible please just post new ones instead of editing the ones you have... it alerts me, and I can keep up with it better. I don't want to cheat anyone.

I only list games that I can find ROMs for. This is because it would be very difficult for us to have a challenge if only one or two had the game. So, that is why there are some games that have been suggested that more than likely will not be offered up on the poll. I try to make sure that everyone has a fair shot, and can do a little bit of research on the game, so they can know what they are in store for.

2nd try...a little better... 12,600 This is actually kinda fun once you get the hang of it! 41,500

I have never even seen this game... first try 2,100

Poll ends noonish on Friday, March 13, 2009. Links to the game information: Pastfinder (Activision-USA-1984) Rainbow Walker (Synapse Software-USA-1983) Mr.TNT (HesWare-USA-1983) Drol (Broderbund Software-USA-1983) Popeye (Parker Brothers-USA-1983)

My joystick is a little sensitive... I keep running into myself. Talk about having a bad day. 40,970

Really neat pics... thanks for sharing!

I couldn't figure out how to put my name! 43,910

I think I will just give up now! hahaha

Interesting game... never played it before. 11,530

Thank you for submitting your score... but we only play Atari 8-bits in this HSC. I think there is an NES HSC, or at least used to be. Perhaps you can submit your scores there.

Nibbler Contest ends Friday, March 13, 2009 at 11:30 pm EDT. Play on factory default settings. This was released in the US in 1983 by Datasoft and programmed by Mark A. White.

As always, please feel free to post comments, suggestions, ideas and gripes. <!-- BODY,DIV,TABLE,THEAD,TBODY,TFOOT,TR,TH,TD,P { font-family:"Arial"; font-size:x-small } --> 8-BIT HIGH SCORE CLUB SEASON 6 Contest 5: Nibbler Ends: 11:30 PM EDT 03/13/2009 Player Place Score Points therealbountybob 1st 1,875,220 12 poobah 2nd 336,970 11 darthkur 3rd 306,410 10 Deteacher 4th 283,120 9 dodgers 5th 152,770 8 Gwobby 6th 119,090 7 atariksi 7th 102,130 6 Divya16 8th 71,560 5 TimsterAA 9th 62,130 4 Zone Ranger 10th 58,350 3 roadrunner HM/P 58,030 1 bluecat HM/P 56,790 1 joeypsp HM/P 51,190 1 mopchop HM/P 49,130 1 Trooper HM/P 48,860 1 JellE HM/P 40,970 1 Champions_2002 HM/P 24,230 1 doctorclu HM/P 18,030 1 Goochman HM/P 17,520 1 HM/P 1 HM/P 1 HM/P 1

Absolutely... I will add them to the list. I need to finish the research on the games so I can get everything all posted. I am being lazy.

HAHAHA... You and me both!!!
