Welcome and Games List

 

Welcome to the new season of the High Score Club :waving:

 

Join straight in as we have a Pre-Season round 0 already running. Post your favourite games here and I'll used them for polling for each round.

Usually rounds are 2 weeks starting on a Wednesday. Very informal here, good fun with a bunch of players of all abilities so no excuses for not joining in ;)

 

Any questions or technical problems please post and someone will help. Emulator users welcome. The Beginner's Guide has links and lots of info too.

 

Have a great 2024 everyone, hope to see some new players too ;)

My vote is for Beef Drop

Beef Drop is a great pick for the 1st poll :thumbsup:

 

Are you going to nominate one for the first poll MichaG and AtariSphinx?

My revised list, with the games we actually played last year removed and a couple new random entries added. Since the world currently is all about war, my nomination for an early poll entry would be Operation Blood.

 

Operation Blood

Mad Stone
Joe Blade
Airball
Dimension X
Bug Attack
Rockman
Misja / Fred
Questar IV
Tagalon

The 2600 High Score Club recently played Turmoil, which is an excellent game on the 2600, and that got me wondering if it was ever made for the 8-bits. And so I looked it up on Atarimania and sure enough, it was. Has anyone played it the 8-bit version? Is it good? And if so, can we maybe have that one in a future poll?

It is great.   More challenging than the 2600 but super fun.
