Hope you’re enjoying your travels! Wishing you a merry Christmas as well! Rooting for you in next year’s OE tournament (but not so much that I’ll make it easy for you.) 😁

Excellent choices! I’ll get them in the first poll at the start of the year.

And you’re always welcome to run it again, should you want to. 🙂 Hmmm, I could get the first poll up on January 2nd (assuming I get game choices from the season 16 champ by then.) We could then start playing the night of the 8th.

There’s two 5200 HSC’s, one for original equipment only (title posts are marked with OE) and another where emulation is welcome (no OE in the post titles). The emulation-friendly HSC is on its traditional December break, but will be starting again in January. Please feel free to come back and join in with season 17 then!

Season 15 Champion - rubeon Season 16 Champion - rubeon

Don't forget you can use the keypad as well, if the 5200 stick is less than satisfactory. I just wish they had made 5 be the down button instead of the 8.

Congrats to phuzaxeman on destroying the most demons. Thanks also to rubeon for jumping in and playing a round. Frogger is up next. Hope it’s a bit more popular. Final standings: phuzaxeman - 15,200 +11 rubeon - 11,500 +10

It IS a fun game! Glad you’re giving it another try. Things to know that aren’t fairly obvious… you have a shield that is activated by pushing down. It can last for up to 15 seconds, but recharges fairly quickly. You can get bonus points by building a bridge to the right using pieces generated when you hit enemies that spawn in the left. When you cross the bridge and beat the super fast demon on the other side, the bonus points are scored based on the number of level flags earned. The only other interesting thing I can think of is that the demons will occasionally try to steal an extra life… shoot them to get it back.

Still not competing, but posting a score anyway in hopes of encouraging someone to beat it. 20,800

Major kudos on importing a 5200 and modding it to work with a TV over there. 👍

Very impressive! Sure do love to see that RF fuzz on a CRT, the way the gods intended it to be.
