+DamonicFury Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Welcome to round seven of this 5200 HSC season! Pole Position won the poll by two votes. We will be playing on the Atari Grand Prix level - 4 laps. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The current HSC record for Pole Position (AGP - 4 laps) was set by Kida0723 - 58,350 points. Bust it if you can for a bonus point! I will also be awarding 3, 2, and 1 bonus points to the top 3 qualifying laps on the Atari Grand Prix.

roadrunner Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Can we play the Atari800 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Can we play the Atari800 version? For this game, I dont see how that would be any different than using a digital controller via adapter, which is allowed. So, sure, go ahead.

As long as it's NTSC, there's no difference. Timer runs different in PAL and gives a few extra seconds per lap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the input, zylon! So for this title, NTSC Atari computers are fine, but not their PAL versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 31,800 (qualifier 66''70) I've never played this for HSC before. I didn't take a picture of the qualifer because you can't pause this game during the time you would need to take a picture of that. Some games are weird like that, where they don't allow pause during transitions. Atari Grand Prix is HARD. I didn't even crash and ran out of time, is it even possible to finish a 4 lap race? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegt97 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 30950 - 65"54 Strangely, using my multicart, I can't move with the ROM, control doesn't work, but I have this cart so I'm good. Haven't had that happen with any other ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ok, playing the Atari Grand Prix. 42,600. Qualifying lap is 60.97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 This is likely the best qualifying lap Ill get! 57.86 and Pole Position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abel M'Vada Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Tough track, but I'm hoping to improve. Maybe if I get myself some racing gloves and a crash helmet... Pole Position (qualifying lap): 59"47 Pole Position: 32700 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 64" 71 qualifier 41,850 Ok, I didn't realize that Analog control is how you play this game. You can do digital, but it squeals the tires all the time and slows you down. Also figured out when to pause for the qualifier picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegt97 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Improved my qualifier, 58"33. Feels like you have to the have the bonus for Pole Position and finish the race to get this record. I've yet to finish the race on AGP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
