One good thing about the overlapping schedule is that the season will end quicker. Unless the amount of games is shortened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 By the way, I am looking for a cart label for Super Chef BurgerTime if anyone has one or knows how to secure one. I would be happy to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 what do you guys think of 1 game 1 week each, starting after new years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with that is that it sometimes takes a week to figure out how to play the game.. Im still in for one every two weeks. Its a long winter so even if its last until spring it wouldnt be bad... Hockey seasons last 10 months... Im still in for a Arcade Theme Season.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I prefer one every two weeks as well. It's just a time thing, or lack of it. I only had time to submit one score for centipede due to a lack of time and I had two weeks to do that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I do like the idea of some homebrew / aftermarket games in there. I understand this will limit the people who can take part. You could wait until we are half way through the season, that way you'll have an established player base for the season. Then poll the seasons participants as to what homebrew/aftermarket game could be added. That might be the fairest way. We did have a homebrew game two seasons ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had time to submit one score for centipede due to a lack of time and I had two weeks to do that lolI completely agree with this. I was so unreasonably excited about last season, and then I had a series of family issues crop up. The result... I didn't play a single game after the third or fourth week. That's adult life, of course. However, I know that if I only have a week for each game, then there will be plenty that I just don't get to play at all.I imagine that for most of us, this is an opportunity to recapture a little bit of our childhood, and for me I love the feeling of being stuck with a game for a while, because that is the game I have right now. That's how it was for most of us. We got a game, and we had to play it, since it was the one and only new game that we were going to have for quite a while.As for homebrews, I'm definitely interested, especially if we can play it on the LTO Flash. I keep dragging my feet on getting Anthropomorphic Force. Selecting that game for the High Score Club would be an excellent reason to get it.

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Yeah, it's amazing the spare time I had as a kid to put into these games but as you say, I had to make do with what I had. Now I can get any game I want but have limited time to play them. Cruel irony lol. AF is great, and would be so much fun in the HSC. Maybe it would help to boost sales for Homebrews /aftermarket games as well. Great to support our game producing community. BTW, you should definitely get AF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I am really neutral on whatever happens as far as what games we choose or 1 per week or even the overlapping game system is good. I would like to start after New Years so everyone is more focused and available to play. Heck,afterall that's only a couple weeks away! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I agree with one game/two weeks. I was in it right up to the last 2 games then I hit the dreaded retail Black Friday wall. That in itself cost me the last 2 weeks with all the extra hours I had to work. But I will say I enjoyed playing the games!! ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-crew Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think on the homebrew discussion , it’s not fair or right to play any game outside the 125 . Since that’s what the HSC was all about. Also , some homebrews don’t have rom sales. Its not right to force people to buy those games to play in the HSC. My Thoughts on homebrews. Keep it simple so more people can join in HSC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It’s not the job of the HSC to boost Homebrew sales. Especially when some games are just put out and marketed for $$$$. The is a general statement and not pointed at any certain game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamse Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I didn't say it was the job of the HSC to boost sales, just that I thought that may be a benefit of playing those games. I understand the argument for only playing the 125 for the HSC, I thought it might be nice to open up the game selection a bit. But I suppose where do your draw the line. There are plenty of the original 125 to keep us busy for seasons to come. Edited December 12, 2019 by Bamse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Brother.. I just dont think that endorsing a Homebrew/Scene is a good thing here for multiple reasons that I really don't want to bring up..

Like I mentioned already... That's ok my friend, no offence taken. I'm big into Homebrews so sometimes, probably selfishly I only see things from my perspective. I'm sure you have your reasons if not limited to the reasons you already gave and I know you only have the HSC's best interests at heart. You've been doing this for years and then some upstart (me) plays a couple of seasons and starts saying how we could change things. I'm sure it must grind your gears lol. It's all good brother, I want what's best for the HSC too and value all participants opinions, especially someone of your pedigree and standing here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't see anything wrong with using homebrews that are distributed free of charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I agree with mr_me on the free homebrew ROMs. Rev has a decent list, Oscar posted some free ones, and Christmas Carol is free and great for HSC... And festive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
