Vocelli Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Hello Fellow HSC Players! Season 14 will start April 27, 2023 and will run for 21 weeks. Ending in 21 Weeks will allow us to finish the Season and Tournaments before the Holiday Season. So, the Season will end at the end of Sept and the Tournaments will end Mid November Once again, I look for suggestions from our players for games you would like to play for Season 14. These are only suggestions. Most of Season 14 has already been decided and I would love to hear what games you would like to see played. Send suggestions for: Arcade Games Rarely Played Games Your Favorite Games A Company that you would like to Spotlight Other Games I choose games that have NOT been played for at least 3 Seasons. ALL NEW PLAYERS ARE WELCOME. You don't have to play every week... just come and have some fun starting April 27,2023 This season the Top 26 will qualify for the end of season Tourney.

kermit73 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The company I'd like to see featured is Parker Brothers. Since "Arcade Games" is also listed as a featured category, I think Parker Brothers is a natural fit since most of their titles are arcade ports. Here is the list of games from the past three seasons (so don't suggest these ones): Game Season Last Played Flash Gordon 13 1/22/2023 Seaquest 13 1/15/2023 Conquest of Mars 13 1/8/2023 Mr. Yo-Yo 13 1/8/2023 Boom! 13 1/8/2023 Star Castle Arcade 13 1/8/2023 Street Racer 13 12/18/2022 Demons to Diamonds 13 12/18/2022 Night Driver 13 12/11/2022 Encounter at L5 13 12/11/2022 Entombed 13 12/4/2022 M.A.D. 13 12/4/2022 Name This Game 13 12/4/2022 Fishing Derby 13 11/20/2022 Sky Jinxs 13 11/20/2022 Barnstorming 13 11/20/2022 Freeway 13 11/20/2022 Room of Doom 13 11/6/2022 Alien 13 11/6/2022 Gremlins 13 11/6/2022 Raft Rider 13 10/23/2022 ET 13 10/16/2022 Crazy Balloon 13 10/9/2022 Venture Reloaded 13 10/9/2022 Pengo 13 10/9/2022 Dodge 'Em 13 9/25/2022 Beamrider 13 9/25/2022 Combat 13 9/18/2022 Battlezone 13 9/18/2022 Mr. Do! 13 9/11/2022 Midnight Magic 13 9/11/2022 Off the Wall 13 9/11/2022 Carnival 13 8/28/2022 Q*Bert 13 8/28/2022 Vanguard 13 8/21/2022 Smurfs: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle 12 4/24/2022 Reactor 12 4/17/2022 Guardian 12 4/10/2022 Super Breakout 12 4/3/2022 Aardvark 12 3/27/2022 Stratovox 12 3/27/2022 Raptor 12 3/27/2022 Megamania 12 3/6/2022 Fast Food 12 2/27/2022 Yars Revenge 12 2/20/2022 Skiing 12 2/13/2022 Slalom (Winter Games) 12 2/13/2022 Assembloids 12 2/6/2022 Frostbite 12 1/30/2022 Wizard of Wor 12 1/23/2022 Missile Command 12 1/16/2022 Klax 12 1/9/2022 Xenophobe 12 1/9/2022 Fatal Run 12 1/9/2022 Gravitar 12 12/19/2021 Road Runner 12 12/12/2021 RealSports Boxing 12 12/12/2021 Asteroids 12 12/5/2021 Galaxian 12 12/5/2021 Popeye 12 11/21/2021 Space Invaders 12 11/14/2021 Moon Patrol 11 7/25/2021 Dragonfire 11 7/18/2021 Solar Storm 11 7/11/2021 Birthday Mania 11 7/11/2021 Fireball 11 7/11/2021 Plaque Attack 11 6/27/2021 The End 2600 11 6/20/2021 Robot City 11 6/20/2021 Tower of Rubble 11 6/20/2021 Super Cobra 11 5/30/2021 Mountain King 11 5/23/2021 Spikes Peak 11 5/23/2021 BMX Mountain Bike Racing (California Games) 11 5/23/2021 M*A*S*H* 11 5/9/2021 Comgo Bongo 11 5/2/2021 Pitfall II: Lost Caverns 11 5/2/2021 Jungle Hunt 11 5/2/2021 Dishaster 11 4/18/2021 Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator 11 4/11/2021 Dark Cavern 11 4/4/2021 Stack Game 11 4/4/2021 Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back 11 3/28/2021 Frogger 11 3/28/2021 Atlantis 11 3/21/2021 No Escape 11 3/14/2021 Star Voyager 11 3/14/2021 Subterranea 11 3/7/2021 Pooyan 11 2/28/2021 Strategy X 11 2/28/2021 Millipede 11 2/21/2021 Donkey Kong Junior 11 2/21/2021 Venture 11 2/14/2021 Berzerk 11 2/14/2021 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I'd love to see Yars' Revenge (my favorite Atari game) played next season. Maybe TRON: Deadly Discs, Frostbite, Spider Fighter, Space Invaders, Stampede, Megamania, Carnival, Super Cobra, maybe Fire Fighter as a bonus game???.... 👍 Edited March 6, 2023 by Rickster8 Wording 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Arcade Games Gyruss Joust Rarely Played Games - I don't think either of these homebrews have ever been played in the HSC. It's possible that they don't lend themselves well to a high score competition and that is why they haven't been played. Marble Craze Qb Your Favorite Games Cosmic Ark H.E.R.O. Pressure Cooker A Company that you would like to Spotlight - The aforementioned Starpath and Parker Bros. are great picks for a company spotlight, but looking over the list I see that there hasn't been a single Tigervision game played over the past 3 seasons. Now, that may be because a lot of people don't like Tigervision but I think they have some solid games so that's my pick. Tigervision Other Games - A few more infrequently played games which I think could be fun. Frogger II Rabbit Transit Sir Lancelot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Transit Note that this is a Starpath game! The Official Frogger by Sega by Starpath (lol) would be a great choice as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 A few suggestions from me : Arcade games Track and Field (does a fantastic job of replicating the feel of the arcade given the limited hardware - this probably the game i'd like to see on HSC above all others) Joust Ms Pac man (show up just how bad original 2600 Pac Man was though ) Pac Man Jr Spy Hunter (Far better than it had the right to be on the 2600) Tapper (as Spy Hunter ) Spotlighted company Sega (we could cover Spy Hunter and Taper by covering Sega, and lots of other good games from them too) Favourites Enduro Hero Demon Attack Stampede Other Circus Atari (Paddle week is always my least favourite part of HSC, but this is my favourite Paddle game so I'd rather play this than ohers) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natsume Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Hi guys Would love to get involved Please May I ask if you give any notice of what game is being played and when I only have a handful of vcs games so would need to potentially buy the game to participate Thank u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Every Thursday the game for the week is announced. We play from Thursday to Sunday. Not the very next Sunday, but the following week's Sunday, so 11 days. Have you heard of the Harmony Encore cart? I don't know how much it costs now, but I got mine for around $80. (I think. It may have been more.) You can download any game onto an SD card, put it in the cartridge, and play the game. A 1 GB card is plenty for downloading every game ever made for the 2600. Check out the Harmony thread for more details. Edited April 22, 2023 by Atarian7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
