zylon Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) We will enter the last quarter of 2019 with a blast. Play "The Dreadnaught Factor" on Game 5. Use only real 5200 systems and Atari mfg controls. Use of period 3rd aftermarket analog sticks, such as the Wico are permitted with a -1 HSCpt penalty. The only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders running original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

LOL 8,161 Doesn't have to be great. Right now, that's the top score. Was this played on a real Atari 5200 system? That style of picture looks like a screen capture from emulation.

This sub-HSC is for original equipment play only.

PixelHero4778 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hey Zylon, Thanks for letting me play along! It's ok. That will do just fine until I can get a decent 5200 w good controllers. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/296720-5200-oe-hsc-challenge-102019-the-dreadnaught-factor/#findComment-4370682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
