+DamonicFury Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Welcome to the seventh round of the 16th 5200 HSC season. The Dreadnaught Factor won the poll by a single vote. Play on level 5 (10 dreadnaughts). Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by rubeon with a score of 34,875 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point! The ROM can be found here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-5200-dreadnaught-factor-_13594.html Round ends Sunday, October 2nd, 2022 @11pm EST Standings: rubeon - 20,873 jblenkle - 5,532 bemis - 3,257 Cafeman - 3,012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'm playing on Kat5200. Everything goes fine through the first level, but then I get stuck on the screen you get that says VICTORY!!! and can't seem to continue playing. Which key do you press to keep going? Nothing I've pressed seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 On the first 2 difficulty settings, there is only 1 dreadnaught to destroy. Maybe next time we should bump up to a higher one.

I read the manual, but didn't catch on to the fact the game would end. I thought you just had to destroy 1 Dreadnaught to finish that particular level and advance to the next.

My bad, I forgot that the default was just 1 dreadnaught. How dull! Let's do level 5, with 10 dreadnaughts, that should get the blood racing! I edited the top post accordingly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Dreadnaught Factor must have analog controls, right? Playing on Altirra , it is very floaty moving left and right, hard to stay lined up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it plays pretty well in emulation with xbox or playstation pads that have analog sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
