+DamonicFury Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Welcome to round seventeen of this 5200 HSC season! Beamrider won the poll by two votes. Play using the default settings. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The current record was set by peedenmark7 with 75,890 points. Bust it if you can for a bonus point.

+Ryan Witmer Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 20310, this is definitely farther than I've even gotten before. I was seeing some crazy enemies I'd never come across before! This game fascinates me because if you showed it to me out of context, I would swear it was an Intellivision game. It looks and sounds exactly like one in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/295560-5200-hsc-season-12-round-17-beamrider/#findComment-4344802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks and sounds exactly like one in my opinion. I’m pretty sure it was indeed programmed for the Intellivision originally, then later ported to other systems. Good catch!

eegt97 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 32530. I seem to max out at Level 15. Score just depends on how many motherships I get along the way. Nice score @jblenkle, I can't imagine getting to Sector 20.

I've played the ColecoVision version a lot and have put up 65,000 points on that version...but the 5200 version doesn't play quite the same.
