Good season to all! My first, thank you for having me everybody, and thank YOU for the hard work Voccelli (for one brief second I was ahead of you lol)

 

Have really enjoyed myself, relieved stress from hectic work and life

 

Favorite: Dig Dug and Super Breakout G7

 

Surprises: Roc n Rope BIG time, and I'm shocked to say it, but Infiltrate, something addictive in there

 

The Dreggs: Bank Heist is MIND NUMBING boring and plain, Ghost Manor is truly HORRIFIC, scared me but not in THAT way

 

Edit: This Season Was HardWork™ :grin:

Favorites:

 

Cosmic Ark - one of my favorites to play growing up and still like it now
Toyshop Trouble - this could count as a surprise, too, but it gave me a nice brain burn trying to remember all the color combinations on the fly
Surprising:
Tac-Scan - I liked this one a lot and need to figure out my paddle controller situation to play it some more!
Track'n'Field - I liked the arcade version and was pleasantly surprised at this port!
Trbl:
Ghost Manor - no thanks
Bank Heist - I didn't think the game itself was horrible, but the police siren got on my nerves very quickly!

Congratulations OldManG, totally dominated the season. I'm pretty happy with my 2nd place, my best ever result :)

 

Favourites:

 

Track 'n' Field: Never really gave this game a go, pleasantly surprised how good it plays.

Dig Dug: One of my favourites as a kid, still enjoy it today

 

Surprising:

 

Private Eye: Never played it until the competition here, great game.

Gingerbread Man: Homebrew i've never played, addictive.

 

Worst:

 

Kangaroo: Never liked the arcade version, the 2600 port is worse.

Infiltrate: A classic example of shovelware on the 2600.

Favourites:

Breakout - because paddles.

Demon Attack - one of those "get into the flow" games.

 

Surprises:

Gingerbread Man - more than meets the eye.

Private Eye - never played it before, pretty "sophisticated"

 

Worst:

Track n Field - can't stand to do this to my poor historical joysticks

Decathlon - see above.

 

It was a great season. Tough competition - for a mediocre player like me it gets harder every year to stay in touch with the top 24. And that'S exactly how it should be. Thanks, Mr. V for making this possible.

I really think it's time to have more teams in the bracket challenge and have a play in week 9 vs 12 and 10 vs 11 for each bracket or have an honorable mention bracket 25-32

 

I hated the paddle games and the games like track n field and decathlon. Favorite was Cosmic Ark

I was thinking about a play-in game... next year we will have one.

Details... next year!

Weirdly my favorites were both played during weeks I missed, but they both easily make my top 10 all time favorite Atari 2600 games list. As far as the worst games go, I just hate games where in order to get the highest score you have to sit there and grind doing the same thing over and over for 3 or 4 hours. I know that back in the day being able to play an arcade style game for hours on end was considered getting good value for your money, I just don't have the patience for it. :lol:
