haha, i thought you'd be the jockey racing, but by the description, it looks like the game is better called "horse betting" haha, should be fun

Yeah while this is a 'racing' game, it's predicated on betting.... ?

Just looked at the manual.  It might be more complicated than Space Spartans!

Lol, oh no... I had a brutal time with Space Spartans and I can tell you it's not near as hard as that game... You basically look at the betting odds board and choose your horses and then they race. You have to look at certain things like what track they are running and how many furlongs the race is etc. It's really not that hard.....

Quick Horse Racing Update: (Up to post #17) - I know this wasn't the greatest choice, but wanted to give it a 'try'.... ONE AND DONE!!!! ?

 

 

$9,999 - gezkc

$9,999 - mark griff

$9,999 - Rickster8

$4,335 - sprazzi

 

It was a good idea, and a game I'd never tried before so thanks for adding it, Rick. 

 

That's what I like about the HSC - you can play the games you're familiar with/good at, but you also get a reason to play games you might never have tried out otherwise!

I had fun playing... There were games I never ever played not even for a minute and I enjoyed them.

By the way: how are the games chosen?

The theme this season is 'Space and Race' games so any game that has either Space and / or a racing element or anything with a timer is what has been 'deployed' for this season. The list is made before the season and we have about 4 or 5 games left. I am currently working on the theme for season 16. I actually have it just need to finalize the games and the order. Will convey the next season info soon.... ?

Fortunately the next game is a shooter, i have no idea how to play a horse racing game (betting is not a game for me, i would flip a coin in such a case).

And no it was no fun to try, i really don't know how to play it and how on what is to bet.

(i have no idea what ppl get out of it, i owned back in the '80s the poker cartridge which was a favorite of my buddy but me i never liked it neither i like cards playing, dice rolling or any betting game it's boring to me. Yes of course it's not a pure betting game but... Similar for the previous "Happy Trails" puzzle games aren't what i like. Sometimes i really ask myself what sort of game do i like - i bet it's tinkering ;) )

I don't know what I'm doing. Tho I went along with the manual a bit, it's too much of an investment (no pun intended) for me right now lol. Some of the more complicated games I think really need a real controller and overlay, cause trying to figure it out on emu just doesn't hit the same. I was able to place bets and race, but one horse never finished, and I just kept hearing the hoofbeats. I tried to coax it along with what I thought were the properly mapped buttons for both controllers, but who knows. Here's a screenshot for an attempt to get 1 point for participating, but since it doesn't show a score, I'm fine with 0 for this round. On to submit my score for Nova Blast, which makes more sense, although I was falling asleep, lol. No real bash on that game, I think I'm just tired hahaha.

 

Horse Racing - Let's just say my bookie beat me up and took my wallet. And shoes. Yeah, let's go with that.
