littleman jack Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Joust or Pac-Man? They're both great. And both sitting next to me on my desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballyalley Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 It's been quite a while since I've played in the HSC. I've been distracted by my Bally Arcade/Astrocade (I still am, actually). A few days ago I rebuilt my 2600 controls with the rebuild kit from Best Electronics. I figured I should play the current game on the high score club to give them a good workout. I'll make sure to do that by Sunday. In the meantime I voted for Cloudburst, as I remembered really enjoying Nice & Game's video review of the game: It's a pretty weird looking shooter-- but that's part of the attraction of these lesser-known titles: they're unusual!

+therealbountybob Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Very nice bally So looks like we need a couple more gems for the Mixed Bag - suggestions welcome - let's say ideally not played in the HSC before and a small/fun game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballyalley Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 So looks like we need a couple more gems for the Mixed Bag - suggestions welcome - let's say ideally not played in the HSC before and a small/fun game I've been playing a lot of a game called Cosmic Raiders on the Astrocade lately. This is an exclusive game to that console. The game looks similar to, but does not play like, Defender. If anyone knows of a game like Cosmic Raiders on the Atari home computer, then please put it forward. Since most people probably have no idea what Cosmic Raiders is... here's a video review of the game: If no one has any suggestions for a game like Cosmic Raiders, then I'd like to play Star Island. It's a Star Castle clone from 1982-- and it's pretty good. Maybe it's been played in the HSC before... I don't know. Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Cosmic Raiders looks a nice game, is the Astrocade a 6502 machine? Star Island is in the bag We can make it a 3 week round with a few more games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballyalley Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Cosmic Raiders looks a nice game, is the Astrocade a 6502 machine? No, the Bally Arcade/Astrocade is a Z80 system with three custom chips used for sound and graphics. It was supposed to be released in 1977, but due to issues, the first systems didn't ship until January 1978. Anyway, now back to the Atari...

Mister-VCS Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 One more game for the mixed bag: Crystal Castles (XE Atari Corp.-version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 One more game for the mixed bag: Crystal Castles (XE Atari Corp.-version) That's too big a game - would be ok for a full round on it's own so you will see it in a future poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Da Fuzz looks like it might be fun Keep the suggestions co.ming guys, I'm looking forward to playing a batch of 'different' games It's kind of in the same vein as "Dafuzz" but what about Getaway? The goal is simple, but it gets very challenging as the game goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is simple, but it gets very challenging as the game goes on. Again I think Getaway is ok for a full round - we also have the version with a new map to play (from the Antic guys)... I've been booting up a few random games and have found a few that look ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
