zylon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Our first game of 2024, was one of the earlier releases of 1984, on our 5200's, Megamania. Play on defaults, with player's choide of straight or guided shots. Use real 5200 systems and Atari mfg controls. -1hsc pt penalty for use of period aftermarket sticks, such as the Wico, or Comp-Pro. Only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders, running an original Rom. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. ** added an alternate Rom for cx52 only** Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

+jeremiahjt Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 64,460 for me. This might have been my first time playing the 5200 version. I used guided missiles, might try one with straight missiles.

RB5200 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 68,810 Definitely guided, I can't play this at all with straight missiles. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/359036-5200-oe-hsc-012024-megamania/#findComment-5384957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 (edited) If only a stage fire select was in there. Guided for the horizontals, and straight on the verticals. Even toggle on/off function.

rubeon Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 37,210 this game is an interesting port. I like the graphics upgrade, but otherwise is a pretty lazy upgrade from the 2600 version it’s good fun, but I am terrible at this version and prefer the VCS a little Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/359036-5200-oe-hsc-012024-megamania/#findComment-5400911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Well, our year begins with former several-time champ squeaking out the win, in a round of several tight battles. 😎👍 I never get past the diagonal tire level. Some things never change, lol. Thanks to all who played, and continue to keep this little piece of the 80's alive and well.
