+DamonicFury Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Welcome to the second round of the 15th 5200 HSC season! Joust and Countermeasure tied with two votes each, and Joust won the following coin toss. Play using the default settings (Skilled). Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by doctorclu with a score of 1,611,000 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point! The ROM and manual can be found here: https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=628 Round ends Sunday, February 6th, 2022 @9pm EST Standings: Cafeman - 468,400 mark griff - 349,350 rubeon - 295,950 jeremiahjt - 157,100 bemis - 86,950 krytol - 54,100 roadrunner - 51,600 jblenkle - 32,300 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/330270-5200-hsc-season-15-round-2-joust/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 87,950. I always loved this game, it was probably my most played 5200 game. But I had an absolutely horrible time with this round, I kept bouncing around and dying. So I'm happy I even got this high a score!

+jeremiahjt Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I played my first game only being able to go left and scored 52,850. I thought that was a pretty good score considering I could not go right. I decided to go ahead and try my other controller and voila, I can go right. I finished with a score of 157,100 and I was pretty happy with that. I got to the first wave with a Shadow Lord, but I was killed by Hunter or Bounder before I could get to him. Can the Pterodactyl be killed on the 5200 version? Every encounter I had with Pterry ended in my death. I think this is really the first time I have played Joust on the 5200. I have always liked Joust, but I usually play the 2600 version first and the 7800 version second. This 5200 version is pretty fun.

Yes, and you can hit it in the tail and kill it as well as in the throat. But you have to be accurate, very little margin for error.

My wife rarely seems to be interested in the ol' 5200 games, but something about the ostriches catches her fancy!
