Austin Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 I may have to sit this one out guys.. I don't have it on cart, nor can I seem to find a proper ROM for this game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Indeed. Maybe we need to introduce some kind of alternative for when a majority of players don't have the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Indeed. Maybe we need to introduce some kind of alternative for when a majority of players don't have the game. Hm.. Not sure about how we would incorporate something like that.. I'll have to think about it. Regarding Breakout, we did have five votes.. So, theoretically, we should at least have five players. We'll see how it goes.. Still no word on an official ROM though. So much for using emulation in this round.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have this game as well, just didn't vote for it. I'll try to get a game in though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztee Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've an idea to boost the number of players in this competition, & to draw attention to the HSC in general! Have to ask the Laird first, but why don't they have this running at JFUK retro X?? The Laird could update scores over the weekend (if there is wifi?) Or just stick them on at some point before the close of play?? Just a thought?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, it's the only way I could submit a score, not having the game or an alpine/flash cart big enough for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll send Laird a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) This score contest inspired me to try something I've been meaning to try for a while: Making a rotary-like controller, or a ROCKER CONTROLLER, for Breakout 2K. Tonight, while I was not able to make a better score than the one I already did, I was able to make the controller, and little video about how it was made: The controller shown in this video does not use rotary, but a rocker switch used on a music keyboard to control pitch. When all was said and done, the controller at least felt more like a rotary/paddle controller.

Hyper_Eye Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 This is probably the second time my Breakout 2000 cart has ever been out of the box. Fun game. I got 22,021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
