zylon Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'll pin this to the top for easy access. This is the place to request games for HSC play. I'll draw a few from here to make up the round polls from time to time. Just make sure the game you want has an actual scoring method. Games will not be repeated in a season, but can be considered for the next season's play. Official releases preferred, but homebrews, conversions, and protos can be mixed in. Not everyone has those and I don't want to exclude anyone. Just list about 5 games you'd like to see. I'll take care of the variations and modes. Top consideration will be given to common games to generate good participation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Soccer It's a common game and it's fun. It looks like beginning and 5 minute halfs is the default settings in 1 player mode. We can score it by most goals scored. My other picks Countermeasure Vanguard Qbert Beamrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I guess I'll suggest some titles - some of my personal favorites (I joined this league late so I'm not sure how recent some titles may have been played) Beamrider Vanguard Space Dungeon Centipede or Millipede HERO Countermeasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Here's some fairly common games I'd like to dig into at some point: Space Dungeon Mountain King Robotron River Raid Miner 2049er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I may run Mountain King (or Pitfall) at some point as a bonus round or challenge. Those 2 only work on 4 port systems which will limit participation. Perhaps as a 4-port challenge of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Does Space Dungeon work with one controller? For me the ship thing i control only fires in the lower right i can't get very far in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could post the ROM here for people that need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Pitfall doesn't start on emulators but i think classics made a fix. I could post the ROM here for people that need it. There were fixes made to all the "4-port only" games - Mountain King, Pitfall, and K-Razy Shootout. Of course, you need a mutli-cart to take advantage of these, but I'm guessing a lot of us have them by now. With the existance of these fixed roms, I don't see why they would have to be any more off-limits than the prototype games (Millipede, Xevious, Looney Tunes Hotel, etc.) Looks like the fixes were posted here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/162235-list-of-5200-games-that-do-not-work-on-4-port-model/ (post #9 by Mitch) Edited September 20, 2011 by sdamon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the ship thing i control only fires in the lower right i can't get very far in this one. I'm pretty sure you need both controllers... one fires, the other shoots. Preferably, you have the controllers locked together with the adapter that came with Robotron and Space Dungeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Some games deserving serious HSC treatment: Miner 2049er-- excellent platform action! H.E.R.O.-- top notch cave diving challenge Wizard of Wor-- super fun maze shooter Xari Arena-- excellent yet underrated(or forgotten) prototype Frisky Tom-- another great proto; must pause during or before last man dies for HS pic Many more wants, but these are a great place to begin digging a little deeper into the 5200's library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I've had a four port laying around for a long time and finally got the switch box (actually two) in a recently purchased lot so I was able to finally fire up my four port and play Mountain King! I don't believe that Robotron 2084 and Space Dungeon will work with one controller… I was happy to finally get a controller coupler (in the same lot I got that four port switchbox) and really enjoy playing these two games! the rubber bands wasn't working out so favorably!

Sonic R Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I am with Zylon in his attempt to give consideration to the most common games to increase participation… I am limited with the games I own and do not have a multicart and no means for emulation… other than Xevious and Millipede, I don't have any unreleased/protos in my collection, though I am slowly trying to get more titles that interest me… I'm looking at a few titles I'd like to have in cart form, as well as more official releases… And Zylon, if you get a 5200 Berzerk, please, please send it my way I've had no luck in getting this game, and I really want it! I've had alot of fun playing Vectrex Berzerk and Colecovision Frenzy! Edited September 22, 2011 by Sonic R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fire in the same direction i move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Actually, the last copy of Berzerk here spent a year as my coaster for punishment. Robotron is playable with 1 control, but not Space Dungeon. I'm not above using 1-controller only as a bonus challenge on those 2 games. In the case of some Activision titles and ones with questionable compatibility, I may allow the A8 versions as a substitute. Typically, I drop the winner and loser of each poll and sub in some different games. (likely from this page ) In reviewing HSC participation from the last 2 seasons, many players have only between 10-20 games, thus my effort at keeping commons alive. Also using original hardware should not be a handicap versus emulation. I will be adding a bonus challenge using a variation of a common game to any protos, etc that get voted in so that everyone has a chance at some points instead of sitting out. If you look at the standings, there's a huge gap that I'd like to level a little bit while still rewarding excellent play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Centipede Q*Bert Qix Stargate Kangaroo Ms Pac-man These are picks I'd like to play. Since it's a poll each week, I'm not too concerned as these should show up sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Miner 2049er Berzerk Sinistar Star Wars Arcade I wonder if there's a good way to track score in Adventure 2? AFAIK there's no timer or score or anything, but it's such a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I was playing a game and so I was looking through the hi score records thread, and noticed the game I was playing has never been played in the HSC… the game I speak of: Blue Print Edited October 23, 2011 by Sonic R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 A few new suggestions... Jungle Hunt Centipede (easy mode) Defender (hard mode) Zaxxon Pac-man or Ms. Pac-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
