+DamonicFury Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Welcome to the second round of the 15th 5200 HSC season! Joust and Countermeasure tied with two votes each, and Joust won the following coin toss. Play using the default settings (Skilled). Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by doctorclu with a score of 1,611,000 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point!

+Cafeman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 87,950. I always loved this game, it was probably my most played 5200 game. But I had an absolutely horrible time with this round, I kept bouncing around and dying. So I'm happy I even got this high a score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I played my first game only being able to go left and scored 52,850. I thought that was a pretty good score considering I could not go right. I decided to go ahead and try my other controller and voila, I can go right. I finished with a score of 157,100 and I was pretty happy with that. I got to the first wave with a Shadow Lord, but I was killed by Hunter or Bounder before I could get to him. Can the Pterodactyl be killed on the 5200 version? Every encounter I had with Pterry ended in my death. I think this is really the first time I have played Joust on the 5200. I have always liked Joust, but I usually play the 2600 version first and the 7800 version second. This 5200 version is pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and you can hit it in the tail and kill it as well as in the throat. But you have to be accurate, very little margin for error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
