Vocelli Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 (edited) Well. It's Jan 11 somewhere! Let the Games Begin! To all new players: We play for fun... but please play by the rules and play on the required settings for each game. You can post as many time each week as you like. You don't have to play every week. Just post some scores and enjoy the greatness of the 2600. You can miss some weeks with no problem. You don't have to play on original hardware. ANY system/emulator is fine as long as you don't get an unfair advantage. I will be updating scores every morning (EST) except when I go out of town, which is rare. If there are mistakes on my end with scoring or missed scores... please PM me and I will fix it... No Problem. Have a great Season. The HSC is designed for you to try games you normally would not have known or tried. Good Luck! Edited January 11 by Vocelli 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Great way to start the new season! Normally I have to dig around in some boxes to find the game(s) for the week but this time I had them both right on my shelf. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slider271 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 New player here Dig Dug: don’t have a way to play this at the moment (I’m between PCs and no cart) Space Invaders: 7275 it gets so much easier once the moving shields are out of the way! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentipedeFan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Game 4 Diff b/b 3,330 Ive played before but not last season. On a side note, difficulty b on original hardware is the smaller ship. However on the 2600+ difficulty b makes the ship fat. Not sure if this is just my 2600+ or if that's a "thing" on this hardware. If that's a thing it might be good to let 2600+ users know the switches are "switched". So just to be clear we want the small ship, not the fat ship. Right?

Yes, on 2600+ with factory-shipped firmware choose difficulty A, small ship. The difficulty switches are reversed on it just now, but that’s being fixed with upcoming updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Dig Dug Game 1/b/b = 211,270 I've always loved this game, there is something satisfying about pumping monsters until they pop. Kind of like that scene in Live and Let Die where Bond puts an air capsule in a henchman. I also took last season off, so have no final standing for season 14. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Good to be back! Diggin’ Dugs 1b - 43,620 Gotta love Dig Dug, tho I never got the hang of really using the rocks to my advantage. Invadin’ Space 4b - 1,230 Despite my score, not as easy as 1 2 3. Hard game, but I do like that variation tho. Welcome back everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakyturtleegg Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It's been many years since I played the 2600 version of Dig Dug. Surprisingly, it holds up well. I didn't play in season 14 or in the last few seasons actually. I'll take my 10 bonus points please. I think I will bring my handheld to work tomorrow for a game or 2 on break. @gbagThat is a sweet @$$ pile of retro whatever in front of your Sony! Our family had that Wico joystick for our TI994A in the 80's! Oh the memories..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorussell Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 So, question on the Space Invaders scores-- is the game we're supposed to be playing, listed as "game 4", the one with the zig zag missiles and moving bunkers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
