Lord Thag Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's on!!! This month we'll be dueling the crazy, stuck-up, snobbish 5200 crew ..who are currently 254,850 points ahead of the whiny, defeatist 7800 crew . . .

(runs back to the safety of the 5200 forum dodging flying veggies) Let me close that gap a little... 93,200. I'll get better at this, but I have to say, the 7800 crew will have their hands full on this one. Joust at Intermediate is quite a bit more difficult than the 8-bit/5200 at Intermediate. (which is what I played at since no difficulty level was mentioned.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've been cleaning my Room of Doom....so it might be a day or two before I can even FIND my Joust cart to pop it in. You never realize how many games you have until you clean.............I was godsmacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomickneedrop Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 225,300 on intermediate (default). I'll try some more, but thats a personal best, and I had this one 'back in the day'... The first pic is terrible, but the score is much more legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Update! 190,700 Edited February 13, 2008 by doctorclu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 18,000 So far, I have resisted the 7800 HSC... mainly because my controllers need new boards. However, when I read that this was a direct competition between the 5200 and 7800 HSC's, I realized that for the sake of everything that is good and just (and the fact that I can use 2600 controllers), I must do my part and submit a score. Unfortunately, so far it REALLY sucks! We are playing on intermediate right? Hmm... maybe I shouldn't admit that I got this score on intermediate... at least I have until March 9th to improve.

SoundGammon Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 7800 Asteroids EXPERT level, HARDEST! Why? Sometimes the asteroids split into 3 smaller pieces than the usual 2! This is the one of the reasons why the 7800 version of Asteroids is my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going on vacation for a week, but when I get back I plan on doing some hardcore Jousting! Don't you have a doppleganger playing for the other side?

DracIsBack Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) well you could always spare the pain of defeat by declaring the 5200 crew the winners now I'm not surprised that General Troll himself made this a "suggestion".

Atarifever Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 ***and we are bracing ourselves for the bevy of complaints about different gameplay, etc.*** Hey, they knew their version was far, far inferior when they laid down the challenge.

And FYI, 7800 camp total score is 543,500 compared to the dominating 5200 camp currently at 848,700, and I don't think my math is wrong. This is fun isn't it..heh heh.

This would expose my weakness with the game JOUST. :-) But on principle, I will have to contribute some points to the overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, if we did this with a couple more games, we'll win through attrition. No way can their controllers work for several weeks in a row. 88,950 by the way. I'll upload a picture later on today when I get the energy. EDIT: Here's the pic. If you've ever wondered how good of a picture a cheap cameraphone takes of videogames in action, here it is: EDIT 2:New high score. 102,000.

Don't ever take any smack talking from me against an Atari system seriously. If I had unlimited funds, I'd be going for complete collections for all of them. Now when I smack talk about the NES, I mean that stuff. Edited February 22, 2008 by Atarifever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Alright - I came to the realization I haven't actually played Joust in many years but it's been a fun venture into the past. My own meager contribution is 43,100 though now I'm strangely addicted again. Also, I'm reminded up a compliment for Chad Schell on including High Score Cart functionality in the Cuttle Cart 2.

I use a 5200 wico stick when I actually have the 5200 cartridge, the rest of the time, Dreamcast emulating the 5200 for all the rest... now with a 2600 controller hacked to the Dreamcast! 5200.. great games, crappy pack in controller.

Plus, I don't think those scores would count.....I'm not sure on the exact specifications of the challenge though, so Atari5200 can chime in on that one.
