VectorGamer Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I want to gauge interest in hosting classic console tournaments on my Retrocade web site, retrocadeweb.webs.com Tournaments would be 5 games in a two week period on consoles like Atari 26, 52 & 7800s, ColecoVision, Vectrex and 8-bit. I may consider a tournament with one game on 5 different consoles. Rules Game play emulation or console Screenshots mandatory Percentage scoring system with highest average score winning the tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatefulGravey Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 If I own the games or can get them I'm down. My biggest problem with HSCs is I hate using an emulator. Mostly for controller reasons. So, if you post the games with enough time for me to get what I don't have I'm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I have an Arcade/MAME tournament coming in a few weeks and then a Vectrex tournament in September. How about a 2600 tournament for October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Personally, I would be down for 2600, 7800, or some NES. I have a 5200 but what a P.O.S.! I am thinking about selling it. I don't have a ColecoVision or Vectrex nor would I be interested in learning to emulate either of those systems. Maybe INTV? I would need a heads up so I could get the carts since my game collection for that one is pretty low, only 7 games. I will emulate 2600, 7800, or NES but like Hateful said, there is nothing like playing it on real hardware. So a heads up on a game list would be cool, no mater which system.

B I typically announce what games are in the tournament six weeks in advance. Now, the 2600 tournament, "Stella's Six Pack," is an exception as players are voting on the titles. And just to clarify, emulation is not allowed so games must be played on hardware. Having said that, multicarts are acceptable. There is a ColecoVision tournament in November and another Arcade/MAME tournament in January. The arcade side is the exception to the emulation rule since arcade games are largely inaccessible in this day and age. Lastly, in regard to the NES, I've been having to eliminate a large number of games because of cheat codes. Despite that, there should be a sufficient number of games to field a tournament.
