Vocelli Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello Everyone! Hope everyone is practicing up for another great season. Here are the details: The NEW HSC Season 7 starts Jan 13, 2018 It will run about 28 weeks ending in July or Aug. Season 7 will have: ~'The Arcade'. Games from the arcade. ~Activision weeks ~Gold metal winner pick from Oyamafamily (expect a private IM from me for your pick) ~Silver Metal winner pick from Lauren Tyler (expect a private IM from me for your pick) ~Bronze Metal winner pick from Raccoony Dave (expect a private IM from me for your pick) ~Several 'Special' weeks with multiple games ~Paddle weeks ~Homebrew weeks ~Several games that have never been played in the HSC ~More popular games we all love ~Ending with the 'Beat the Leaders' weeks. I am asking for your requests... please post those below. But keep this in mind.... we will ONLY be playing games that have NOT been played in the HSC for 3 years. So you will not see any games that were last played in the year of 2015/2016/2017. All will be 2014 and before. The goal here is to have fun and try new games that may or may not be good. After the season, we will have the Medal Brackets (Aug/Sept).... take 1 month off and then start Season 8. Thanks for keeping the 2600 HSC alive and well! ~Vocelli 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 My request would be to have an Activision timed games for 2 weeks. Barnstorming, Grand Prix, and Sky Jinks I would say skiing but I know we just played that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakyturtleegg Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I'm fairly new around here, but I'd be ok with not playing any games from the last season and maybe cherry picking a few from 2015 and 2016. Just to get in a fan favorite or two if necessary. Or let the people with the privilege of picking a game override the rule. Here is a list of games that have been played during the last 3 seasons: Adventure Adventures of Tron Asteroids Atlantis II Bell Hopper Boing Breakout Bump N Jump Centipede Chopper Command Cosmic Ark Cosmic Commuter Cosmic Creeps Crackpots Crash Dive Crazy Climber Cross Force Crossbow Crystal Castles Defender II/Stargate Demolition Herby Desert Falcon DK VCS Dodge 'Em Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr Double Dunk Dragonfire Dragster Elevators Amiss Encounter at L-5 Enduro Entombed Fast Eddie Fast Food Fishing Derby Galaxian Ghostbusters Gorf Gremlins Gyruss Hunchy II Jawbreaker Jr. Pac Man Juno First Karate Lady Bug Lead Malagai Marauder Mario Bros Masters of the Universe Megamania Millipede Missile Command Mission 3000 AD Montezuma's Revenge Moon Patrol Mr. Do's Castle My Golf Official Frogger Oink Oystron Pac-Man Pengo Pitfall II Planet Patrol Plaque Attack Pole Position Popeye Q*Berts Qubes Quadrun River Raid II Sancho Seaquest Skiing Skiing Smurf Solar Fox Solar Storm Space Chase Spike's Peak Sprintmaster Stampede Star Wars Death Star Battle Star Wars ROTJ Stay Frosty Subterranea Suicide Mission Super Cobra Tanks But No Tanks Tooth Protectors Venture Wall Jump Ninja Word Zapper Edited November 28, 2017 by Sneakyturtleegg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakyturtleegg Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sancho? Dude, that's a publisher, not a game. Sorry! My bad. I was on a roll, ripping through all of the old posts, putting that list together. Plus I'm not super familiar with the 2600 library. No soup for me?

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Using the HSC database, these are the EXCLUDED titles *snipped* Great job compiling that list! I'm a little bummed out that there's no chance of us playing Alien (it was the game I was most hoping to play this season), but such is life I suppose. Maybe next time around.

Sneakyturtleegg Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 No paddles allowed for Circus Atari, Kaboom, and Astroblast Combat game #25 Just curious, why no paddles with those games? There aren't that many paddle games to begin with, yet alone good ones. And there are quite a few world class Kaboom players in these parts. I'd say change it up a bit.
