toiletunes Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) UPDATE: Do you like free prizes with free shipping? This year, the top twenty participants will receive a 2 1/4" tall figurine from a Garbage Pail Kids advent calendar! Suitable for display, collecting dust, or as a replacement board game token- revitalize Monopoly with a "Smelly Shelly!" First place gets first pick. I'll post the list of characters once they're all opened. Why only 20, you ask? Because I bought it on clearance last year and there's missing pieces... We now return to round 2: It's getting a wee bit chilly up North. It's time to warm up with some Winter Games Settings: Speed Skating.

Lauren Tyler Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I thought I had this cartridge... Then I remembered it's the Atari 2600 version! Back to the old drawing board... I mean emulator! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I loved Winter Games (and all the Games games) on c64, but never played any console version. Looking forward to this round. I don't think it's come up in a 7800 HSC before, at least not that I played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Atari 7800 original hardware, Difficulty B is left position as I know. For games in which Difficulty Switches have no effect, assume that any position is allowed, and B is left position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 29.5 Bonus: 6 so far. I fell asleep playing it (not because it's boring, because I'm exhausted :)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BydoEmpire Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Cool, I wasn't sure if the emulator UI matched the position of the switches on the console, good to confirm. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremiahjt Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 26.7 is my best so far. My times got better once I unscrewed the thumbstick on the CX78 JoyPad, but that could have been from more practice. I might try the CX24 ProLine next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I can't figure out how to properly get my skater to move. I'm moving left and right alternatively, but he either skates briefly or stops completely. It says to move the joystick 'rhythmically' but I dunno what that rhythm is. 0:34.3 _00.bmp Edited December 13, 2021 by Lauren Tyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Back Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 26.8 is the best I got. Of course I’m representing the country of Atari! I forgot how much fun winter games is I’ll be trying again throughout the month for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Back Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Sorry for the double post but I tried a few more times and got a 25.7. My thumbs are killing me lol. edit: I added my Santa Simon high score of 8. Memory isn’t what it used to be.

Rick Dangerous Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 How do you get a good start? My guy always fumbles around in the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Back Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I always start left, and then as soon as it says go I try to get into a fast rhythm quickly. I really don’t have any other advice as starting has never been an issue for me, but rather missing an input some how and getting my rhythm messed up.
