out of curiosity, if you submit a 0 score do you still get the last place points?

I don’t think it’s ever come up before, but I’m going to have to say no.  The whole world would be entitled to a tie for last place with that logic.  You gotta at least try to play the game. 
 

I’m sympathetic that this cartridge is nearly unobtainable, and that the earlier Atarimax cart won’t play it, but as I said before, emulation is entirely an option.  Also, the recent Atari50 compilation release includes BBSB… that could certainly be used here as well.

unfortunatelyi dont have an emulator

Do have any kind of PC or Mac?  If so, we can help you set up an emulator.  As I was telling rubeon, I can’t award HSC points unless an attempt is made to play the game

84,500

 

my "good" 5200 controller is in pieces over on the workbench getting a trailer-park copper tape rebuild, so I booted up OpenEmu to play a round for this one

 

the 8bitdo SNES controller is not idea for 5200 games...

I have a PC can you help?

Sure.

 

Download the Altirra emulator from here...

 

https://www.emutopia.com/index.php/emulators/item/271-atari-5200/1705-altirra

 

It's the first link under downloads.

 

Unzip the file to a preferred location.

 

Download the BBSB rom from here to the same location:

 

https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=718

 

Unzip it.  
 

Run the Altirra64 program.

 

There's a startup wizard, choose the defaults other than to choose Atari 5200 instead of the 8-bit computers

 

Then use File->Open Image and select the Bounty Bob rom.  (I got some odd error the first time I did this, but it worked the second time)

 

BBSB should be running now.  F2 to start, arrow keys to move, Ctrl to Jump, number keys to use elevators.

 

Hope this helps!

 

 

 

RB5200 smashes another record and mashes the most mutants to take the top spot.  Kudos and a bonus point as well to Northcoastgamer for also breaking the previous record.  
 

Jr. Pac-man is up next.  
 

Final standings:

RB5200 - 255,120 - RECORD BREAKER - +11 +1

Northcoastgamer - 156,990 - RECORD BREAKER - +10 +1

rubeon - 84,500  +9

Cafeman - 76960  +8

jblenkle - 11,470  +7
