+DamonicFury Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Welcome to the third round of the 18th 5200 HSC season. Pole Position won the poll by one vote. Play using the Namco Speedway setting with 4 laps. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. Zylon currently holds the record with 62,950 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point. The top three qualifying laps will also score 1, 2, or 3 points. Should someone beat zylon’s 53.10 time, a bonus point will be awarded. The ROM can be found here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-5200-pole-position_s11778.html Round ends Sunday, February 18th, 2024 @11pm EST Standings: 61,400 - RB5200 61,000 - Cafeman 56,850 - rubeon 56,000 - Mikey50 53,400 - bemis 20,650 - jblenkle Qualifying lap: 57"36 - RB5200 58"15 - Cafeman 58"60 - rubeon 58”82 - Mikey50 59.50 - bemis Malibu Gran Prix (no HSC points): 60,500 - Cafeman 56,600 - Mikey50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I might need to hook up my hardware for this one. Without analog control, I lose too much time and speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I have never tried to play this with digital type, but that seems like it would be a Royal pain, it's actually pretty difficult at this level, even with analog.

RB5200 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I honestly thought that, that was a typo, but didn't want to say anything, but I agree, how? Don't seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my problem is that the 1st post is very dark, and I’m already using the dark motif for this forum and it’s hard to read. Please delete all of my times and scores, I was playing on the default Midway mode with 4 laps. Also, now my 5200 will not connect to my TV so I think I need to get a new game switch for the RF connection before I can try again. Sorry for the hassle! problems like these are why I don’t use real hardware much anymore, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the hassle! Do you mean the four port auto switch box, if so I can send you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
