zylon Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Our game for July is the Activision classic grid war- Beamrider. Play on defaults beginning Level 1, using real 5200 systems and Atari mfg controls. A -1 HSCpt penalty for use of period analog sticks, such as the Wico The only modern exceptions allowed, are flashcarts/SD loaders, running original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. (even for me) Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

rubeon Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 13,438 The grid is a harsh mistress, and I shoot my bonus ships as often as I receive them. I never played this game back in the day, but if I could go back in time to 1983 I would make sure to bring a copy, saying to my younger self "hey little buddy, why not give Joust a break and ride the Beam for a bit?" Good game! Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/337541-5200-oe-hsc-challenge-072022-beamrider/#findComment-5087492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Not a lot of play this month, but also the peak of summer, when most are busy. School starts this week here. DamonicFury is this month's Gridmaster, but some good runs were put in as well. Thanks to all who played, and join us in the next game.
