+therealbountybob Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Round 4 Poll Another batch of some of the best games that will survive a single HSC round on their own. Remember to check all the ones you like before clicking the vote button! Round 3 Mr Do! is still open for another week, if you missed it or R1 Joust or R2 Donkey Kong post late scores and join in on the current round. Add your favourites to the Season 17 Welcome and Games Suggestions thread.

Poll ends Sunday 1st March Atarimania has info on the games, I've posted links to Fandal's site below but Atarionline.pl usually has several versions of each game or try the excellent Homesoft site.

carlsson Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This might be the most even poll so far this season, with six out of seven games still potential winners with only a few more days to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last one Up N Down is better than average. Really a difficult choice this time. I hope Bosconian will make the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Btw is it the same version of Bosconian as we played in the HSC in January 2018 or did they improve it again? We played a prevew in June 2017 which was quite revamped six months later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Same one but it's such a good game I put it back in! Trying to give the favourite games some competition in the polls and it looks like it's working! I'm surprised BD II is doing so well. We're burning through a lot of the games but if people prefer one game then we will play the better games, will re-poll some of those we have passed over again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedThunder Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) How about one MAIN GAME (as above and is great) and ONE sub game picked from random list. And make it that you can only pick one game in your voting. Unless we make it a proportional vote. I dont understand why some voters, vote for every game in a poll therefore nullifying their own vote ? (On occasions) Seems pointless to me. ONE VOTE! makes your decesion more qualified IMO.

+therealbountybob Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I voted for all as they are all good ones that I wanted to play! Don't mess with the system, things are going well! This way we can see what is popular rather than tactical voting ususally a two horse race, plus when end up with only a few players each game gets 1 or two votes! We'll have our first bonus game when we get something that might not keep us busy for the full 2 weeks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I think I like all the games chosen for voting in this round. I voted for Yoomp! though. Sorry guys, like the last time I tried to get into the HSC, life made me forget the last couple of rounds, but I intend to catch up this weekend! BUT, at the moment, I only have a 48K NTSC Atari, so I may have to skip some games and catch them up later when I get a >48K machine working again.
