+DamonicFury Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Welcome to the nineteenth round of this 5200 HSC season! Joust was tied with Super Cobra and Countermeasure in the poll, but in win the die roll. Play using the Advanced setting, as the default of Skilled is a tad too easy. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The current record was set by Cafeman with 485,950 points. Bust it if you can for a bonus point. The ROM and manual can be found here: https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=628 Round ends Sunday, October 4th, 2020 @9pm EST Standings: Cafeman - 156,600 rubeon - 155,600 Mangia-Boy - 122,300 roadrunner - 59,600 jblenkle - 51,100 Moisés Tuseto - 46,600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I don't think 2020 Cafeman can beat 20xx Cafeman's record. But I'm glad the game is set to Advanced (I'd have suggested Expert to be honest - maybe next time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered it this time, but felt some players might find it a bit much. We’ll see how the scores go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangia-Boy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Only a little improvement, only in points not in the ranking. Attacking Cafeman's scores is not realistic for me. Joust Advanced --- 82,200 Difficult game for me. I hope to climb at least the 100K threshold. I think Joust is a game, where you can reach high scores when you were already playing it as kid. (Unfortunately I had no 5200 or Atari computer at that time) In the childhood you have enough time to learn steering the oystrichs exactly.
