carlsson Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Tough choice. None of the games really spoke to me, so I went with the one never played in the HSC before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Protector was one of my first games, not a bootleg but bought for real money. If you manage to finish both stages the game ends however. It took me quite some time to beat it but for the supergamers hanging out here, we might need another game for differentiation in this round or some scoring mechanism that works for those who finish it. I don't know if that's also true for Protector II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List any of your favourites on the games list thread and I'll add them to future polls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List any of your favourites on the games list thread and I'll add them to future polls My first two were pacman and pole position on cart xmas of 1983 with my 600xl! One of my favourites though Centipede. The version i like is the 5200 version. Note when i first got mine it was on a tape we bought in europe called atari compilation released by atari uk.(I actually am from Canada) In the uk the 5200 centipede was released as an official home computer release. I find it superior to the official centipede and even superior to millipede. I have sooo many favourites too many to list. Would love to HSC Centipede 5200 one day. all that being said i am going to try and participate a bit in HSC no matter the game, i think i will really enjoy this. with the next round i hope galaxian wins i plan to be revisiting this classic anyways. Broke many cx-40s on this one as a kid lol Edited March 21, 2021 by oo7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Personally I'm rooting for a non-arcade port (I voted for Cosmic Tunnels, which is a fave of mine in general actually ) But I like all the games really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm also a fan of Cosmic Tunnels. That got my vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
