AtariWarlord Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Several Activision Games: Stampede, Dolphin, Commando, Laser Blast. Several games from the Arcade: Venture, Mr. Do!, Tutankham, Vanguard, Berzerk (preferably variation 9). Several games that have never been played in the HSC: Only been here a few seasons so I have no idea. 2 Paddle Games: Steeplechase, Canyon Bomber. 2 Homebrew Games: Space Treat, Draconian. Your Requests of any game you would love to play: Spacemaster X-7, Subterranea, No Escape (some of the lesser-known Imagic titles could definitely use more love), Journey Escape, maybe some kind of solo Space War thing for bonus points (similar to what we did with Combat a season or two ago).

karokoenig Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I second "Circus Atari" for paddle games, because it's so much fun to play, I wouldn't even care about my score :-). For Paddle weeks: also "G.I. Joe" (or "Action Force" in our regions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Speaking on DRACONIAN (an Atari 2600 Homebrew by SpiceWare), check out the following blog by Cessnaace (Mark - MSH as HighScore.com User) http://atariage.com/forums/blog/760/entry-15863-game-review-9-draconian-atari-2600-updated/ There's a special curiosity about the SCORE, which can display MORE THAN 6 DIGITS!! (Maximum of 7 digits during gameplay and 8 digits on the title screen) If we play Draconian for 2600 HSC (Homebrew Weeks), I will provide a special note about the score. And unless otherwise noted by the moderator, we will assume Factory Default Settings (Quadrant Alpha, Sector 01, Skill Normal and TV Type NTSC), and Difficulty Switches set to B/Novice position. EDIT: I'm suggesting the inclusion of special rule for Draconian, if we play this Spiceware's game for 2600 HSC: GAME MUST BE PLAYED ON NTSC COLOR FORMAT (console or emulation); DON'T USE PAL CONSOLES. The reason: Draconian has an option called TV-Type (NTSC, PAL and SECAM), whose default is NTSC. We are assuming the usage of Factory Defaults on HSC Contests each time the settings are not specified by the moderator. Edited July 1, 2019 by oyamafamily I am suggesting a special rule for Draconian on HSC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revontuli Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I fully realize the field for homebrews to add to the list is very competitive, but I'll humbly suggest folks check out a game I've been working on: Dragon's Descent - you can find the ROM, instructions, and other info here: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/286017-dragons-descent-rogueliteaction-game/ It's an arcade roguelike where you navigate dungeons, strategically trying to get some mixture of offense/defense/points as you go deeper into a procedural maze fighting a variety of monsters and bosses. I designed it with an arcade/scoring/competition dynamic in mind (including features like choosing a random seed to ensure folks can play the same "random" maze) Feature-wise the game is complete, and I've done a fair amount of testing, but would be curious to see how more people play it and what strategies they might come up with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
