zylon Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Let's start off by digging out of last year's hole with the classic Dig Dug. Play on default, starting from level 1, Carrot, using real Atari systems, and Atari mfg controls. -1 HSC pt penalty for use of period 3rd party analog sticks, such as the Wico. The only modern exceptions allowed, are flashcarts/SD loaders running original Roms. Pics preffered, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

+jeremiahjt Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A score of 28,000 for me. I think Dig Dug has to be one of my worst games across all systems. Although 28,000 is pretty good for me.
