Atari5200 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yes it's me JagFan422, i thought the name change would be more appropriate since I, 1. pretty much hate the Jaguar, 2. love the 5200. I'm looking to start up a High Score Compo for the 5200. Before I start getting all my ducks in a row, sorting out rules and such, how many people here would actually be interested and/or participate in a competition? I can tell you now there would be no prizes or anything like that, just the pride of being the master of whatever game we would be competing in. There'd be nothing fancy, rules would vary game to game, but would stay relatively the same. Since I only have the standard controller and Trak ball, i would say there would be no joystick restrictions. So we would have a pretty basic competition, at least in the beginning, the only thing I would expect would be Trash Talkin' what fun is a compo without any trash talkin.

jnice Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm looking to start up a High Score Compo for the 5200. I'd be interested. We tried this once before, but there wasn't enough interest. Maybe there is now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari5200 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 we'll see. I'll let this thread linger for a few more days, maybe Saturday night or Sunday I will start a new thread with the first game. Let the compo run a couple weeks or so and see how it goes. If there's a decent amount of participation, then I'll do another one and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm interested, but don't know how often I'd participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'll try but I'm pretty limited in time. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I will try my darndest to support it! Now that I'm not programming anything anymore, I can spend my free time actually PLAYING the games! YEE HAW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How about starting with the new Super Pacman that was just posted? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How about starting with the new Super Pacman that was just posted? Allan So you're suggesting this should be an emulator only competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How about starting with the new Super Pacman that was just posted? Allan So you're suggesting this should be an emulator only competition? Sorry, I forgot some people only have access to original carts. No I don't like playing on en emulator either. Unfortunetly it's going to mean we're going to have to skip a lot of great games. I wonder how many people here don't have a real carts or access to a multicart. Does anybody have any suggestions than? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have a 128in1 flashcart as well as one of the old vidgamewiz flashcarts. How about Centipede? It will give me an excuse to plug in the trackball. Plus, it's popular and common game. I suck at it though. Pole Position is another option. I was playing that just the other day.

Allan Yeah I have the AA repro of Super Pac....playing this newly released rom would make my cart useless. No multicart yet though, but I have about 50 games.

Atari5200 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Centepede was actually what I was leaning towards as the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I don't have that many 5200 games having just acquired a system this year, but I'd love to play what I've got (and it'll give me an excuse for picking up more 5200 carts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Well hurry up and pick a game! The weekend is upon us! There are 2 high score competition threads; I suggest making a third one, and posting in the other two "please do not use these threads any more" to prevent confusion.
