zylon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Our game this month is my absolute fave on 5200- Missile Command. Play default game on real 5200 systems, using Atari mfg controls. -1 HSC pt penalty for use of period 3rd part analog sticks, such as Wico. The only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders using original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- beat me if you can for a bonus point! I will defend.

Looking forward to scraping the rust off of my skills at this magnificent game! Well, I got my lag-free TV from up Mom's house, and brought what I could fit in a Lincoln Towncar, to combine with what I had down here already. Saving the family pet, meant I had to move to somewhere allowing pets. Lots of stuff went into storage, and a lot sold, but my 5200, C64c & spare, 2600, Genesis, Xbox, and 360 came along. Rather than lots of individual carts, I elected to run with any multi-cart or SD loaders I had. I put my XL/XE stuff in storage and will use emulation for that. Our places ain't as big as what she had up there. That couple months of a hotel tv that wouldn't read my old systems sucked, lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/326700-5200-oe-hsc-challenge-112021-missile-command/#findComment-4936728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had vanloads of systems- 2600, Genesis, Saturn, 360's, Ps2's, Gamecubes, PSP, etc Anyone who shops in Northeast PA, has some really neat stuff to find.
