Congrats to rubeon on zapping the most Zaxxons. Satan's Hollow is up next. Final standings: rubeon - 13,400 +11 bemis - 9,100 +10

Flipped a coin to break the tie... Satan's Hollow is our winner.

I don’t know that the cx-52 stick is quite as good as a 2600 paddle with a 2600 Breakout game, but its certainly not bad. My 2600/5200 hybrid paddle seems to have become rather prone to glitches, so I stuck with the stick. 430

Zaxxon is the winner.

I don’t suppose replacing the 5200 pot with a 2600 paddle pot and attaching its knob would be considered legitimate? Still all OE Atari equipment, just with some of it originally meant for another console.

No one has even entered a score yet, so let's go ahead and bump this to level 5. My bad, I forgot that the default was just 1 dreadnaught. How dull! Let's do level 5, with 10 dreadnaughts, that should get the blood racing! I edited the top post accordingly.

No, only the very first Atari Flashback, the one shaped like a 7800, is based on NES hardware. All the others do use 2600 roms and either Atari-on-chip hardware or emulation.
