carlsson Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 @therealbountybob For round 10 (two rounds away from the current one), we should play Hard Hat Mack and Axis Assassin in celebration of the Electronic Arts 40 years release. Indeed Archon (hard to play in HSC settings), M.U.L.E. (already is continuously played) and Worms? (not sure it even generates scores?) also were included in that first batch.

Let me know if there are any other to pick from / I suppose everything is coming around to 40 years if it's not already been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Yeah, generally speaking many games hit 40 years but this initial launch of 5 games is fairly well dated in history, which was unusual back then to pinpoint a month and a particular date when games went for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Not sure if it's too late to suggest games, but I'll contribute a few from my little collection. Some I'm sure you've played, but here goes. Apple Panic Aztec Challenge Caverns Of Khafka Forbidden Forest Frogger 2 Montezuma's Revenge Ninja (for progression not points) Panther Rear Guard The Tail of Beta Lyrae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Round 11 poll will be games never played in the HSC before so thinking caps on, you know Blue Max 2001 will be there and I have a couple of other s The ratings and records thread lists just about everything we have played 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I went through all the suggestions above, and using the All-time Games Rating thread as my guide, I came up with the following games asked for this year but previously not in the HSC. The number in brackets is the average score on Atarimania, but note that some games only has two or three votes so it could be somewhat misleading. Adventure II [n/a] Airball [7.5] Apple Panic [5.6] Aquatron [7.8] Avalanche [7.5] Aztec Challenge [3.7] Blinky's Scary School [7.6] Blue Max 2001 [4.4] Dimension X [7.8] Fast Eddie [7.4] Forbidden Forest [6.3] Frostbite 400 [8.5] Great Escape [8.5] HiJack! [6.2] James Bond 007 [7.7] Joe Blade [7.8] Journey to the Planets [7.7] Kennedy Approach [7.7] Last Ninja 2, The [unrated] Mad Stone [7.6] Maniac Miner [5.9] Manic Miner [9.7] Maxwell Manor [7.6] Mission on Thunderhead [5.0] Mr. Do's Castle [8.6] Ninja [7.7] (for progression not points) Operation Blood [7.7] Panther [7.7] Planetary Defense [7.6] RGB [9.2] Skool Daze [9.5] Space Harrier [7.8] Stampede (port phaeron) [6.7] Tanks [7.3] - assumed it means the 1991 Mirage Software game Zone X [7.7] I saw that Wonder Boy was more or less declared a dead project in March 2023, so I left it outside of the suggestions until it is revived. A few of those may have scoring issues so perhaps playable more for fun that to set high scores or otherwise competitively, but I didn't bother to weed those out in the first run.

Great work, thanks @carlsson. Think there are some we've played in the list, but they probably dont have scores in the all time list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariSphinx Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This may be a good bonus game. Been trying to remember the name of the game as played this a lot when was a kid. Match Racer. Really nice colors and sounds. Probably needs a higher difficulty level than 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2 player head to head is probably where it it is really fun ramming each other off the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 The "into the vertical blank" podcast guys have a video of vertical shooters - bit long but there are quite a few we might not have played here (some may be PAL only), worth a look and we could pick a few perhaps as a multi-round https://intotheverticalblank.com/2023/07/07/a-z-atari-8bit-vertical-shooters-in-18-minutes-60-games/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
