zylon Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) For December, we'll play the not quite finished, Battlezone, 5200 version, bugs and all. Play from defaults on real 5200 systems, using any period control you can make work. None give any advantage in this game. Flashcarts, sd loaders, and repros are to be the way to play, running the Rom below. You can tank me later Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when year does. Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

Frozone212 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 is that not allowed? You do realize I don't have a real 5200 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozone212 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 so you made a HSC for the 5200 that leaves out people that use emulation or those that can't afford the actual machine? I honestly don't think this is fair to the general public. But it is your HSC. Still, might want to reconsider the real atari rule or modify it. regardless, I made a mistake coming here. Have fun with your competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with your competition There’s two 5200 HSC’s, one for original equipment only (title posts are marked with OE) and another where emulation is welcome (no OE in the post titles). The emulation-friendly HSC is on its traditional December break, but will be starting again in January. Please feel free to come back and join in with season 17 then!

Frozone212 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I assume OE stands for original equipment? I apologize for my conduct. best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for my conduct. best of luck This mini-HSC is solely for those wanting to play 1980s' style, as you would have then. We play one game per month, from the era. For the OE faithful, it's the most level field possible. It's not to take away from the regular HSC, but to add a dimension. Anyone may play along, it just won't get HSC points or count.

Hmmm, I could get the first poll up on January 2nd (assuming I get game choices from the season 16 champ by then.) We could then start playing the night of the 8th.

rubeon Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Aw man, I did it again: I went and left the country for the rest of the month without taking my 5200 with me! I need a travelling case for that thing. It was 40 years ago when I opened my first 5200 on Christmas morning 1982, probably the same as more than a few people on this board. No score from me this month, but a merry, merry Christmas to the OE gang 🎄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 2022 season in the OE world has come to an end, with DamonicFury securing another year's title, while I pulled off an 11th hour win in our final round. I almost didn't play that final session, lol. Once again, thanks to all who play, and keep the original stuff alive. We'll have at least one more such "what if" round this year as well. 48,000 zylon +11 31,000 DamonicFury +10 28,000 RB5200 +9 16,000 RangerG +8 14,000 Frozone212- DNC Final standings- DamonicFury - 126 🏆 rubeon - 100 zylon - 85 RangerG - 82 jeremiahjt - 50 jetset - 40 mark griff - 35 RB5200 - 20 Crazy Climber - 18 IICCEEMMAANN - 15 phuzaxeman - 11 Cafeman - 9 SINGLE TOOTH - 8 jerry32 - 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
