Vocelli Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) HELLO ATARI HSC! Season 9 is here! Wow... the summer went fast! Welcome to Season 9 ~ Atari 2600 HSC. You can expect the same format as previous years The Season will last 24-26 weeks. I will be posting a new game every Thursday or Friday... giving players 9-10 days to play each game. This will also give players a chance to play multiple games every weekend. WE ARE HERE TO PLAY FOR FUN! So, have fun! And you don't have to play every week. You will play many different games. I try to pick games that haven't been played for over 3 years. I try to mix it up between good games and not so good games. The Regular Season will end and we will follow the Regular Season with the Medal Bracket Challenge with the TOP 32 Qualifying for the Medal Bracket Challenge! So enjoy everyone! Play for fun and keep the Atari HSC ALIVE! Thanks! Vocelli Edited August 15, 2019 by Vocelli 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Welcome back everyone! It's great to see you all here for the new season, and I'm totally stoked that we're starting off with Gorf! This has always been one of my favorite Atari games ever since I was a little kid, and I'm kicking off season with what I feel like is a really solid (and new personal best) high score. Gorf (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 25,300 Edited August 16, 2019 by Jin 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakyturtleegg Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 With HSC, I 'm compelled to use my various 2600 systems. I'm also motivated to play a game for more than a few minutes before moving on. I didn't have Gorf as a kid, so I never really put significant time into it until now. One thing I am having a hard time with is knowing where the edge of the screen/play field is. The edges of the play field are not centered on the score. The ship can go a lot further to the left than it can to the right. Its that way on a CRT and with the R77/Stella on a flat panel. Guess I need to play more and get a better feel for it. Here is a start. 10900 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abel M'Vada Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Gorf: 4200 No matter how infuriating Gorf is, I'm still fond of it after all these years and will play it any chance I have.
