zylon Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) For November, we'll run the first game I ever played, Berzerk, on defaults. Play using Atari mfg controls, and real 5200 systems. The only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders, running original Roms. Use of period aftermarket analog sticks allowed, such as Wico, but with a -1 HSC pt penalty. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- bust it for a bonus point! Berzerk - (Level 1) rayik 28,440 Final scores- 12,950 RB5200 +11 9,060 DamonicFury +10-1=9 4,640 troff +9 2,620 zylon +8 2,330 nitrohepcat +7 Current Standings- RB5200 - 113 DamonicFury - 94 rubeon - 82 zylon - 74 Mikey50 - 46 nitrohepcat - 40 jeremiahjt - 38 RangerG - 37 jetset - 31 troff - 14 CentipedeFan - 6 IICCEEMMAANN - 5 Berzerk.BIN Edited December 2, 2023 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the speech is really cool, i do feel though that this game still needed a few more refinements before they released it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a royal pain in the back pocket, that's for sure, If the player moved a little faster like the arcade, then this would be a really good game, but the way it is now, the only thing that I think is good about it, is the speech.

+DamonicFury Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Almost forgot! 9,060 -1 Wico penalty - didn’t feel like dealing with the CX52 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Best I'm getting, lol 2,620. I'll setup our final round of 2023 tomorrow, after work. It'll be our "what if" round. I just finished testing play of some candidates... Edited December 1, 2023 by zylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 No surprise, but November goes to RB5200, for an excellent run at this difficult game. 👍 Once, I got super lucky and hit 14k in this, but rarely get much. I'd agree this could be better, but never played the arcade version. My first ever game played, was the 2600 version, while I recovered from burn injuries in a hospital bed, in my preschool years. An orderly brought his system in for me, to have something to do. Anyhow, thanks to all who played, and continue to let this little niche of 1983 live on. I test played (5min each), 3 period conversions, for our what-if round. Caverns Of Mars worked best, and coming up... Final scores- 12,950 RB5200 +11 9,060 DamonicFury +10-1=9 4,640 troff +9 2,620 zylon +8 2,330 nitrohepcat +7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
