carlsson Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Even if the round is over, you could play it and post your score to match with the rest. As TRBB mentioned, we'll probably revisit it in a year from now. Maybe I'll had my 130XE repaired by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might make an exception for that one as it is so good, there is also the chance of the "commercial" relase version too. 59 minutes ago, RedThunder said: Rally Speedway with more custom tracks would be cool again. RT Get cracking on the tracking, if you have a few ready I'm sure I can be tempted into doing some more, it was great fun last time Same for anyone who creates anything, we will play it/them they will not need to win a poll As usual will probably start the first poll of the Season with Classics that everyone can play, that remind me I have a pile of wounded joysticks to fix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is totally different game in plus, now is: more enemies, 3 mode of game and many more minor changes... Ok, returns to thema: 1. Pole Position is always ok 2. Disc'o'pop 3. Moon Patrol redux and classic (always good) 4. Defender and Drop Zone againInsert other media I must think about nexts.

carlsson Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yeah. In my logs for 2020, I count to having played 54 different Atari 8-bit games (about 99% within the HSC). Out of those, I categorize 16 games (29.5%) to be classic games I have played before on any format, 4 games (7.5%) to be modern homebrews I have played before in some form, 7 games (13%) to be classic games I had heard about but never played and the remaining 27 games (50%) to be games I never had heard about, both classic and modern games.

You need (to emulate) two joysticks, one to select road element and one to position those. Remember to change the direction of travel for each curve and straight in case one crashes so the car isn't facing the wrong way. I made a test track the other day, but nothing I'm ready to share.

Playing games again is ok, I'll use my usual discression to make sure there is enough play for 2 weeks for those who are keener. I kept it low key last season and there were few multi game rounds so it makes no difference to participation. Pole Position TGACCRR Whistlers Brother Nibbler Blue Max 2001 Gumball HiJack! Tank Commander Beach Head I & II Beach Landing Aquatron Fanda platformers again like Beer Belly Burt, Nuclear Nick, Ollies Follies, Ghost Chaser ... So I'm a little lost one the when/how of voting on the list for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
