CGQuarterly Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The hardest part about running an HSC is picking games that will appeal to most of the participants. I know that a few of you are frustrated that I'm not updating things fast enough, so you can really help me out by picking some games. Maybe we can even have all 10 games already picked out at the beginning of the season, so that people have time to buy whatever games they need. Anyway, post suggestions here. If anyone wants to "veto" the suggestions of a prior poster, feel free to do so, but include an explanation. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mega Man (the original, with a score) Ninja Gaiden II Life Force Jackal Abadox Defender II Millipede Smash T.V. Silver Surfer Super C PS: I might be able to join in again next season. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've just recently got in on this aspect of AA, so I've only got a few suggestions: picking out the games in advance is a good idea to save time but it kinda spoils the fun of finding out what the new game is. I've really liked the fact that the HSC has got me playing games I might not normally have played before. I can understand not having access to a game, however...that kinda sucks. PM me if you need any help in updating, I wouldn't mind getting involved to help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Personally I like having a set roster. That way if I don't have a game, I can track down the cart beforehand to avoid playing via emulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+asponge Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm fine with having a pre-selected list as well. Austin, those all look like good picks, although I'm not familiar with Silver Sufer. I don't have the time to do it this second, but I'll get a list of my own posted soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGQuarterly Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Ok here's what I propose. We come up with a set list of 9 games at the beginning of each season. I will privately randomize the list, so that people never know what game is coming up next (until week 9, anyway). The 10th and final game will be chosen by me so that no one knows what it will be. Cool? Also, only two people have actually suggested games so far. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Sounds good to me, Chris. As far as a list goes, I'll throw some titles up but because I'm not sure about what's been played recently, I'll just put up these: Tiger Heli Track and Field Super Mario Bros Rescue: The Embassy Mission Dr Mario Ninja Gaiden Mega Man Ghosts n' Goblins Double Dragon I know lots of these games are more about 'finishing' than points but I've never played some of them for point totals alone...and I had a lot of fun with Battletoads that way last year. Whatever way we choose, I'm looking forward to the new season as it gets me to play games I've either never played much of before, or back into old faves.

+asponge Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 All the above are good picks. I'll add these additional picks to the list: Klax Gyruss Double Dragon II 1943 Burgertime Solar Jetman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGQuarterly Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Based on the suggestions so far, here is my proposed list. If anyone wants to nominate changes, list the game you want added AND the game you want removed. Mega Man Life Force Super C RC Pro-Am Ninja Gaiden Ghosts N' Goblins Double Dragon II 1943 Rescue: The Embassy Mission I want to start the new season tomorrow, so speak now or hold your peace for 20 weeks!

atarilovesyou Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I agree with this line-up: I can smell the challenge from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+asponge Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That list works for me too. I thought of Rescue: The Embassy Mission when I was putting together my list, but for some reason I thought that game didn't have a score. I guess I never paid any attention. Glad to see it there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I don't think it does have a score. That's what I get for trusting you guys. I'll replace it with something else. Or one of you can suggest something. Let's get this HSC started this evening! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Embassy doesn't have a score, but if we choose what level to play at, we can just rank the winner as the highest difficulty setting with the fastest completion time. It's a really fun (but tough) game, and I think it would work. The only problem might be when comparing scores from different difficulty levels: in that case, Chris, maybe you can just pick a difficulty that we'll all play on. (Captain-Ultimatum?) Or we can pick something else of course!...it's just a fun little game that I'm sure some folks haven't dug out in years (myself included). I'm down with getting started tonight too!

+asponge Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Am I think only one that loves paperboy? I wouldn't mind playing Paperboy. I'm a fan. Maybe we can swap that for Rescue? Maybe it's just me, but i'm getting tried of playing Life Force and Ghosts N Goblins. I think i played those two 3 or 4 times each since i've been taking part in this HSC. I could play Ghosts N Goblins again. Although I've only played it once in the HSC. Frankly, I didn't notice Life Force in there earlier. I'm not a huge fan of this game and would prefer something else, but I know it's somewhat popular so I don't mind playing it again if people really want to.

You're not following the rules, good sir. If you want games taken off the list, you have to nominate replacement games. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Replaced Rescue with Paperboy. It's not that I don't like Paperboy, it's that I prefer to stick to games that are at least semi-unique to the NES. But that's OK, lets play it. If anyone wants to nominate changes, list the game you want added AND the game you want removed.

atarilovesyou Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm down with anything, and I get the fact people don't want to keep playing the same ol' games (even if they're great!)...I looked back over the past few seasons and saw some repeats too. So! 1943 remove, add Xevious Drop Gaiden, add Jackal Drop Double Dragon 2 and replace with Double Dragon (love that game, never finished it legit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
