+therealbountybob · February 6

Welcome to Season 21 (2024) round 2 poll time

R2 poll includes three picks from players with credits from the Pre-Skis On - SKI-IT

R1 is still open but late scores welcome if you missed it

Multi-pick as many as you like before voting, runner up games usually go through to the next poll and others may re-appear later!

The poll will end as soon as we have a clear winner or next weekend at the latest.

Everyone is welcome to play, all abilities even if it's just the odd go we'd love to have you join in here.

Atlantis

Only played back in HSC4 where HSC champ poobah said

"Remember, Double points for the side guns,

500 points for each atlantis piece at the end of a wave

Can't kill anything until they destroy middle gun."

Henry's House

10 screen colourful platformer with nice animations. Bit easy for the pros.

Pole Position

Still the best racing game - we have the Marius version which makes the NTSC/PAL differences less - probably have a few race options to make it interesting.

Frogger (1982 John Harris Ver)

The 1981 Chuck Benton ver is also great. Will be played on both speed settings.

Arkanoid

Great bat-n-baller - paddles or joystick supported. Terrible screenshot doesn't do it justice.

Rockman

Not HSC played but trbb of old said "...Also played Rockman (Mirage Software) today which I had the original disk for(!), nice game shame has no sound effects just music. Might be ok for the HSC next season ... " :!:
