The ravages of MS, the fatigue, the hand tremors, and not being able to walk anymore, all have taken its toll on my Atariness. I just don’t have it in me to continue. I have posted a score on here every week (with the exception of two weeks) for the past ten years. It’s been a great long ride. Even though my skills are diminished, I’ll always be the 1983 United States Atari champion. It’s kinda like winning the Super Bowl; after that, a player is always known as a Super Bowl champion. To each of my friends here, old and new, thank you for your good-natured competitiveness and your comradery. May each of you be blessed with good things for all of your life. It’s been a blast. ? ? . Scrabbler! You are an amazing competitor and I will miss seeing your score submissions. The HSC won't be the same without you. I wish you all the best! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwieland Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pole Position 57,100 Dragster 6.24, probably the best I will ever score on this game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Improvements. Pole Position: 57240 Dragster: 6.31 I somehow got less than 6 a few years ago when I was trying to earn patches for all the Activision games, but it so far has escaped me on how to do it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pole Position- 58310 Dragster- 6.01 Playing Pole Position reminded me of going over to my best friend's house whose dad worked for Atari in the early 80s. He had an actual Pole Position arcade machine in his backyard shed. Was not great at it but as a kid was amazing to see and play an arcade in a house. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pole Position 60,610 - 213''97 ...In the middle of my final lap, a Palmetto BUG crawls on my foot... as I'm trying to drive, and I'm kicking my left foot, while skidding off on my turn, then it crawls back on my foot again! I managed to shake him off a second time, and finished up the race with a best score so far. ? If I cannot improve my score, I will pass it over to the Palmetto, and see how he can do... I got a pic of him before he ran off. ? I think he's in the running for Americas next top BUG. ? 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Vocelli, you need to readjust the scores for Pole Position as they're not correctly listed highest-to-lowest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 45,210 I like 2600 Pole Position & thought it looked & sounded great esp. compared with Night Rider. One thing I miss about it though is that killer corner early in the lap from the arcade game! The corners are all really easy on this one. @Scrabbler15 Aw, sorry to hear. You've been a major fixture here & one of my internet-land friends for 7 or so years now. It was SO much fun getting into the HSC back in 2012 or '13 & I really appreciate all of you guys! Thank you for signing out, it means a lot! It always feels a little weird when people I've been hanging with online just aren't appearing any more. I'm having a hard time participating for other reasons. (mostly tired from financial hardship and beer habit, not to mention no internet at home since February) I think this is the first season where I've missed rounds! :( I was wondering if I'm fading out of the HSC. @nads That is one strange looking copy of H.E.R.O. ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, dangit- I wish there had been a "Show us your Activision Collection" for bonus points, most "stuff" wins!!! I been "practicing" for that one hardcore for the past year... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
