roadrunner Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 What does everyone think of a end of year bonus round? We'll play 4 or 5 games for the entire month of December. We could play some games that probably would not win a game poll like Tank Command or Realsports Baseball. We'll still play a game every 2 weeks like we do now but the bonus round will not count toward the season standings. Good idea or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday83 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I like the idea. We have to play the rare games and the hombrews at some point..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) I was thinking of these 5 games for the end of year bonus round. 1. Jinks 2. Realsports Baseball 3. Space Duel 4. Tank Command 5. Water Ski Good list or not? Is there any game people want to play that hasn't been played before or hasn't been played for a few years?

roadrunner Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) I've been giving this end of year bonus round idea more thought and i picked these games 1. Jinks 2. Realsports Baseball 3. Tank Command 4. Water Ski 5. Xmas Time We'll start this round on Nov. 29th and have it end on Dec. 27th 2010 or Jan. 3rd 2011 There will be no poll for the next round until Dec. 19th These games will count toward the season standings.

Mord Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Doesn't bother me, I'll just play whatever's up so long as I can get a hold of the game/rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea or bad? Good idea. I like it. For New Years can we do another "cross board" challenge? We did one once before, but I think the 7800 HSC has gotten wicked mad skillz since then and could beat the punks in the other HSCs. I was thinking Q-Bert would be a good one, as it would allow us to challenge the 2600, 5200, Coleco, Inty, NES, and O2 guys. Final score would be a cumulative one of the top scores of each member in each board (so Mord's top score, plus rmaerz's top score, plus Atarian76's top score, plus my top score etc. vs. Richard Simmons' top score, plus Andy Dick's top score, plus Justin Bieber's top score, plus whoever else plays the NES, etc).

roadrunner Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 With 5 votes Robotron wins! It looks like Pete Rose bet on the wrong team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the 5200 HSC vs 7800 HSC playing Joust a few years ago. Q*Bert might be a good idea. The 7800 version is called B*nq or something. Maybe a 5200 HSC vs 7800 HSC playing Q*Bert or Space Invaders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll spend half their time blowing into the cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) The NES HSC didn't have too many people post a score for Galaga. I tried to get a little rivalry going but it didn't work. A 5200 HSC vs 7800 HSC at Q*bert/B*nQ or Frogger/Froggie is something we could do in the future. Games like Choplifter! and Robotron are more difficult on the 5200 so a "cross board challenge" HSC for those games would not be a good idea.

I assume highest win differential (which will likely be the closest negative number to zero in actuality). I predict that the winner with Real Sports will have a "win differential" or -3.
