Play on defaults, using real 5200 systems and Atari mfg controls. -1 HscPt penalty for use of period analog sticks, such as Wico. Only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders, running original Roms. Pics Preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records.

RB5200 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 This is a pict. of the two punching bag glitch, just for anybody that might have never seen this. In this case it's actually 1 and a half, usually it is a full two punching bags.
