CGQuarterly Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Welcome to week 7 of the 5th season of the Atari Age NES High Score League! This season is only going to be 10 weeks long, and will feature one game released each year between 1985 and 1994. Here are the standings after 6 weeks of play: starcry 539 darthkur 254 Jibbajaba 226 roadrunner 142 mihcael 110 JacobZu7zu7 110 atari2600land 107 arjak 99 LarcenTyler 93 doubleminor 90 ClassicGMR 80 phaxda 66 mightymage 59 thegoldenband 56 Tr3vor 37 4Ks 26 Herbarius 20 Pyromaniac605 16 This week's game and the 1991 entry is going to be Shatterhand. This is a lesser-known NES game, but is in my opinion one of the best games on the system. Even if you've never heard of it, give it a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Title: Shatterhand Developer: Natsume Publisher: Jaleco Released: December 1991 (US) Twin Galaxies High Score: 306,600 by Eric R. Cummings. The game only shows you your score between levels, and after your game ends, so when the game over screen pops up, make sure to make a note of your score and/or take a screen shot because you aren't going to see it again. You can see your score during the game by pressing "Start" but that does you no good because your game isn't over yet! Once you get past the first level, you can choose the order in which you complete the levels. I am not putting any restriction on the order that you use. Play around with it and see what gives you the best score. Tips: None yet! Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shatterhand None yet!

CGQuarterly Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Didn't we do this last year? This is my first season running the NES HSC. I didn't go back and see which games had been played already. I'm just trying to pick standout games from each year that the NES was active.

starcry Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well guys my copy just arrived and to be honest I forgot a bit with the 2 week long matches. I used to be pretty decent at it when I was a kid cant recall if i beat it but i do remember thinking it was hard. So here goes nothing!

ClassicGMR Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Reminds me a lot of Mega Man in the controls and boss fight. I could get to like this. MUCH better than SMB3 for an HSC entry. Edited March 24, 2010 by ClassicGMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yeah, I agree. The nebulous rules involved with SMB3 kind of killed it... Live and learn. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm going to give this until Wednesday. Once again, not a popular choice, apparently. Next season is going to be a "Players' Choice" deal... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGQuarterly Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Remember, tonight at midnight is the cutoff. I'll try to post the 1992 game tomorrow night. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm going to give this until Wednesday. Once again, not a popular choice, apparently. Surprising. This is a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I know! I'll try to get the new game up tonight. I'm really busy this week AND I'm sick, so not much time. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I did not expect to win this round. Well played everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
