agb Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Favorites were Demon Attack and Dig Dug. Most surprising were Mario Brothers and infiltrate. Worse were kangaroo and gopher. Great season. Great job Vocelli. Thanks for running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrogoober Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Good season to all! My first, thank you for having me everybody, and thank YOU for the hard work Voccelli (for one brief second I was ahead of you lol) Have really enjoyed myself, relieved stress from hectic work and life Favorite: Dig Dug and Super Breakout G7 Surprises: Roc n Rope BIG time, and I'm shocked to say it, but Infiltrate, something addictive in there The Dreggs: Bank Heist is MIND NUMBING boring and plain, Ghost Manor is truly HORRIFIC, scared me but not in THAT way Edit: This Season Was HardWork™ Edited April 2, 2019 by retrogoober 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogoober Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 And congrats OldManG! I have this fantasy that you are really a super computer in some remote region:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Favorites: Cosmic Ark - one of my favorites to play growing up and still like it now Toyshop Trouble - this could count as a surprise, too, but it gave me a nice brain burn trying to remember all the color combinations on the fly Surprising: Tac-Scan - I liked this one a lot and need to figure out my paddle controller situation to play it some more! Track'n'Field - I liked the arcade version and was pleasantly surprised at this port! Trbl: Ghost Manor - no thanks Bank Heist - I didn't think the game itself was horrible, but the police siren got on my nerves very quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Gah! In spite of getting utterly distracted and completely spacing out the last 1/3 of the season I somehow still managed to make it into the bronze bracket finals. I'll come back and play in the final bracket tournament though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Once again I'm in the silver bracket. I'm ready, willing, and able! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Congratulations OldManG, totally dominated the season. I'm pretty happy with my 2nd place, my best ever result Favourites: Track 'n' Field: Never really gave this game a go, pleasantly surprised how good it plays. Dig Dug: One of my favourites as a kid, still enjoy it today Surprising: Private Eye: Never played it until the competition here, great game. Gingerbread Man: Homebrew i've never played, addictive. Worst: Kangaroo: Never liked the arcade version, the 2600 port is worse. Infiltrate: A classic example of shovelware on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Favourites: Breakout - because paddles. Demon Attack - one of those "get into the flow" games. Surprises: Gingerbread Man - more than meets the eye. Private Eye - never played it before, pretty "sophisticated" Worst: Track n Field - can't stand to do this to my poor historical joysticks Decathlon - see above. It was a great season. Tough competition - for a mediocre player like me it gets harder every year to stay in touch with the top 24. And that'S exactly how it should be. Thanks, Mr. V for making this possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer_27330 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I really think it's time to have more teams in the bracket challenge and have a play in week 9 vs 12 and 10 vs 11 for each bracket or have an honorable mention bracket 25-32 I hated the paddle games and the games like track n field and decathlon. Favorite was Cosmic Ark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Favorites ---------- Super Breakout Robot Tank Most Surprising ---------------- Roc'N Rope Toyshop Trouble Worst ------ Cosmic Ark Spider Fighter Weirdly my favorites were both played during weeks I missed, but they both easily make my top 10 all time favorite Atari 2600 games list. As far as the worst games go, I just hate games where in order to get the highest score you have to sit there and grind doing the same thing over and over for 3 or 4 hours. I know that back in the day being able to play an arcade style game for hours on end was considered getting good value for your money, I just don't have the patience for it.

Hank Rearden Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hated Kangaroo the most! And Boxing! Roc N Rope was surprising! Toy Shop as well. Favs - Gingerbread Man and maybe Barnstorming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nads Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 BIG CONGRATS to OLDMANG!! A worthy Champion for many reasons, and to think this is his first time competing here. Here is what I thought of this years games. FAVORITES : Private Eye Dig Dug MOST SURPRISING : Dragonfire Kangaroo WORST : Frogger Robot Tank Good season, disappointing is how many players drop out after a while, is the season too long? Thanks again to Vocelli for all your diligence and hard work, its always appreciated!!! On to the Brackets! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
