zylon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Our game is Pengo. Play on intermediate setting and do not "camp" or use the corner trick. A8 version is allowed this round. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Round ends Sunday, April 30th 2017 @9pm EST Current HSC record: Bust it for a bonus point!

Omega-TI Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd love to get in on this one but I don't have a Pengo cartridge for my 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd love to get in on this one but I don't have a Pengo cartridge for my 5200. I don't either, at least in this state. I use a 128-in-1 cart to save space here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I don't either, at least in this state. I use a 128-in-1 cart to save space here. Yeah, I've only recently returned to the Atari 5200 after 30 years. All I have is what you see here... ... eventually I want to get an AtariMax cartridge and a MasterPlay clone... but I have too many irons in the fire at the moment, however a single Pengo cartridge for a reasonable price would get me to click... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) 5200 Pengo Intermediate gameplay footage by oyamafamily, presented for HighScore.com Official Competition - 2016 Summer Contests, Atari Systems Worldwide Trophy Cracking. I know this score doesn't count for this HSC contest. BUT the purpose of this video is to let Zylon / Roadrunner know if I played this 5200 game correctly (NO camping or usage of corner trick), and preserve the integrity of this HSC therefore.

Mangia-Boy Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 257,020. No camping bottom,top,sides or corners. Straight up play. Great score! I think the intermediate setting is more difficult than the advanced one. The 5200 HSC title is still missing in your collection. Although you won't need it : Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 That's amazing! Congrats on the certain win! Thanks, I appreciate that, although nothing is certain in life. Especially at my age. It has been a very fun season so far. I've pushed myself more than usual with certain games like I used to. As for Pengo, I try to get the 10,000 bonus EVERY round. If not the 10k, then at least the 5k bonus on a few rounds. I've developed some pretty good patterns to quickly clear rounds for the 500 to 2k time bonus points aswell. I find it strange that Rescue on Fractalus has not yet been played, it is a work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
