phuzaxeman Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Which game would you guys want? cannot be a game we already had a competition for. The game with the most requests will be our game for Round 12. we need to play the best 5200 game ever...space dungeon. you can't find this game on any of the other systems, the adaption is excellent, the dual controller is genius, and this game always gets high ratings. many people get the 5200 because of this superb game. btw, you elementary kids need to grab some beers together and enjoy watching a steelers game or something :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfluxor Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I also vote for Space Dungeon. I played it a few times already and it's really an interesting game, though a bit difficult to play without that dual-controller mold. Some other suggestions: Pac-Man Centipede River Raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Some other suggestions:Pac-Man Centipede River Raid All have been played already and excluded as choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfluxor Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Some other suggestions:Pac-Man Centipede River Raid All have been played already and excluded as choices. So what, are we backing ourselves into a corner from the selection? It'd seem more reasonable to not repeat a game for 2-4 months, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's what the person who runs these 5200 HSC's said in post #1 of this thread. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=1361461 Which game would you guys want? cannot be a game we already had a competition for.

You lose participation when you repeat games unless either the game is very new (homebrew) or you can change it up significantly. Look at the 2600 High Score Competition, and see how long it takes before Ze_ro repeats a game. With what, around 100 titles and each one running two weeks, you probably won't see a repeat for at least a year in this one. Even in the 7800 HSC, games weren't repeated within a season...except Pac-Man Collection! which is still new and has many very different variations.

I don't think we have to cycle through every single release, but it would be nice to go through at least most of them before repeating. Just my 2c, no big deal either way.

cyberfluxor Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't have a problem with repeating or not, just don't make the same game repeat every other competition interval or drag it out for many weeks. Whatever though, as I'll try and compete whenever I own the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 as I'll try and compete whenever I own the game. Why not just play via emulation if you don't own the game. All the 5200 roms are here on Atariage, and there are plenty of good emulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have different tastes today and try to afford the superior alternative, the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari5200 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 nope, you can be it. Just tally up the votes, and whatever game gets the most will be for round 12, also, if you can post the winner of round 11. The HSC go for 2 weeks.

Prodos8 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'll go with Joust or Defender. I don't like emu's either (its like wearing a prophylactic during ...) for the reasons stated previously. BTW If a game ties with votes, just flip a coin and I'll be fine with that.

+Cafeman Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Keystone Kapers ... now that is a game I never really tried to be good at. I am not in the mood to play 5200 Defender for several hours in a competition, myself. I vote KK , and if not that ... Megamania! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artlover Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Am I going to have to create a bunch of shill accounts here to push Ms.Pac-Man into the lead? *EDIT* Well, damn it, apparently it's too late for this week. HSC 13 better be Ms.Pac-Man tho, or I'm gonna go medieval up on eveyone. Edited September 8, 2007 by Artlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) I've been short on time the past year, but I'd like to start playing in these again, if y'all don't mind. I do not have a digital camera currently, though. Is that a problem? Edited September 9, 2007 by Lord Thag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a digital camera currently, though. Is that a problem?I don't always post pics, especially if I know i'm nowhere near the top spot. Personally, I think the honor system is okay. Is someone REALLY going to cheat in the 5200 HSC? This is for fun, and there's no prize other than pride, which you don't get if you cheat anyways.
