Welcome to the twenty-second and final round of the 14th 5200 HSC season!  Qix won the poll by one vote.  Play using the default settings. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records.

 

The high score was set by darthkur with a score of 477,241 points.  Beat this if you can for a bonus point!

Major kudos to Cafeman for not only Qonquering Qix but also taking a very decisive first place in this year’s HSC contest!  Well played and congratulations!  Please let me know what five games you’d like to see start the poll next year.  

Some things to think about before we close up for the year:

 

Is there any interest in a special holiday homebrew round?  
 

Also, I was considering possibly breaking up future seasons into two per year… perhaps one Jan-May and another Jun-Oct.  Shorter seasons might make these contests a bit less of a marathon and might be more welcoming to new players.  Let me know what you all think!


Congratulations again to HSC champion season 14 champion Cafeman!

I think this is the only year I stuck with the HSC long enough to win. When this season started I wasn't working so it was easier to find time to learn some strategies for each game. I had fun playing a few new games  to me, like Oils Well.   I think shorter seasons would be a good idea. 

 

Am I supposed to pick the next 5 games?

Shorter season sounds good. 12-14 rounds?

 

Perhaps two 11 round seasons?

Glad you stuck with it this year… it was always clear you had the skills!

 

Yes, if you’d like, you can pick the 5 games that will be in the first poll for season 15 next year.  Just a fun tradition that zylon started a few years back. ?

Okay! The 5 are:

Joust, Space Dungeon, Defender, Countermeasure, and Berzerk.

That’s a solid list, clearly some of the top classic titles.  Thanks!!
