zylon Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Our final month, we'll tackle Pengo on Intermediate settings. DO NOT CAMP, as in don't just stand in a corner hitting the walls waiting on sno-bees. Use original 5200 systems and Atari-mfg controls. Period analog 3rd party sticks allowed with 1 HSC pt penalty. Modern flashcarts/SD loaders allowed. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- bust it if you can for a bonus point Pengo - (Intermediate) Northcoastgamer 558,640 Final scores: 167,940 rubeon +11 104,110 DamonicFury +10 68,780 phuzaxeman +9 57,170 roadrunner +8 28,420 zylon +7 15,740 RangerG +6 Current standings- DamonicFury - 109 rubeon - 107 roadrunner - 91 RangerG - 75 zylon - 73 troff - 24 Rogerpoco - 15 phuzaxeman - 12 patroclus99 - 10 unoclay - 10 hoosierdadee78 - 9 Moises Tuseto - 9 Pengo.BIN Edited January 2, 2021 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoclay Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 whelp, i guess i'll sit this one out. I dont actually own Pengo for 5200, and although i know i could get a copy for cheap, i never really jived with the arcade game, and so havent bothered yet. Good luck to the competitors.

Get a flashcart or SD loader for future games. It's also great for adding homebrews and harder to find games, or even to play before you buy a real copy.

unoclay Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 yes, i prob will someday. But i am also fond of physically collecting games when affordable as Pengo, because i tend to cherish them more. I have a Super Everdrive for SNES and a Flashboy for Virtual Boy, and even the shiny new flashcart for Lynx. Love them all. But 5200 is more of a slow-steady system for me---still have a real copy of HERO i havent even tried out yet. Pengo's cheap, so will grab sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an older 128-in-1 flashcart mostly, but do have a physical cart collection that I keep with my 2-port system in my house up PA. Being as I needed to regularly test Roms out on original systems, when I ran the regular HSC too, it was essential. Rest your fingers, I have a "blast" planned for January to kick off the new year here. Edited December 5, 2020 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Pengo a shot in the future. Pengo on the 5200 is a different experience. I actually like the soundtrack better than the arcade and it's also a little easier which makes the game more appealing for me. This game I believe was not released on the 8bit although there is a port which is glitchy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps Millipede instead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
