carlsson Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Last year's list, with the games just played removed and a few new ideas added: Mad Stone Operation Blood Joe Blade Airball Warhawk Dimension X James Bond 007 Bug Attack Aquatron Bruce Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Here is my list (yes a third of them use my favorite paddles): Super Breakout Avalanche Downhill Getaway Super Cobra Pengo Jungle hunt Joust Moon Patrol Qbert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'll probably modify this list as I think of better ideas, but here are some to start with: Round About Chicken Planetary Defense (works with joystick or Koala Pad - bonus for using the pad?) Journey to the Planets Firefleet (we may have played this one recently- I can't remember for sure) Salmon Run Gateway to Apshai Fast Eddie Maxwell Manor OR Mission on Thunderhead (Do these give the player a score? I think it's possible to choose the seed for the starting layout so we could all play the same one) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Limiting this to 10 is a problem! Luckily MichaG has a few I wanted to play so here's my first go: Zone X Bristles Dawn Raider Tutankhamun HiJack! GridRunner Bounty Bob Strikes Back! Qix Blue Max 2001 Necromancer Most of my picks are on the tricky side, now there's a surprise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 In random order: 1. Qix 2. Defender 3. Bank Bang! 4. Batty Builders (maybe in multigame-round) 5. Tanks 6. Grand Prix Simulator 7. Gremlins 8. Parachute 2011 (maybe with Octopus together) 9. Pole Position or Pit Stop 10. Desmond's dungeon And many, many more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It might be wrong but I had to include a 2600 port in my list of 10 anyway (Frostbite), as I just love that game! It's one I missed when it was first released on the VCS but discovered in university by watching a roommate play it. Such a great little game and good HSC fodder IMO (could be paired with other winter themed games). My list, in alpha order: Boulder Dash Cosmic Tunnels Fort Apocalypse Frostbite Jumpman/Jr. Kennedy Approach Lode Runner Quasimodo Yoomp! Zenji 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled_Pink Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Think I might give it a go this time. Might even finish off my SDrive MAX build that's been sitting around for the past 12 months and get one of my few working units out.

I'm sure the xex is in Fandals site though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
