+therealbountybob Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This time it's JK40001's five games in the poll, and they're all great! 1 platformer and 4 shooters If you missed rounds 1-3 just post any late scores and join right in. If you've not added your 5 favourites to the games list then please do so. Poll closes shortly after round 3 finishes More info on the games may be found on atarimania. Any questions just post 1. Draconus HSC Rating: U XEX INFO Gruppenfuhrer WOLF - 15/09/2010 "Draconus was simply amazing! One of the best games for Atari." Sytlish platformer that I've not played much but it highly regarded - I think you can transform between two characters each with different abilities. 2. River Raid HSC Rating: 10 XEX We all know this one! Superb! 3. Moon Patrol HSC Rating: 9 XEX - version with fixed sounds and background colour (idea by Raster, fix by Fandal) And this one - played 4 times in the HSC - a bit easy for top players and doesn't get harder after 2nd play through as far as I remember. Great fun though! 4. Screaming Wings HSC Rating: U XEX Another great scrolling shooter - can get a bit easy if you play it too much but it's been a long time 5. Fort Apocalypse HSC Rating: 8 XEX Cavern exploration in a helicopter! What could possibly go wrong?! Top players will have Gravity on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah River Raid! This was my second game i got on my Atari 2600 (first one was Enduro). I loved it and later i got it also on the 800xl I was very surprised to see more colors and hot air balloons. Amazing game and very challenging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+slx Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Lots of great games this round. Voted for something I have not played to exhaustion as a teenager. A bit disappointed to see River Raid that high up. It's a great game, no question, but imho lacks that "exploration" aspect, wanting to see what comes next. Fort Apocalypse has plenty of that, only it ends much too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Fort Apocalypse you just get into it and it's over - try Creature XL's recent game Heli in the Caves - quite hard but you can make progress. RR won the poll but I will leave the topic unlocked for now We'll have some of the runner up games in a future poll. Anyone can still add their 5 picks to the games list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
