+DamonicFury Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Welcome to the eleventh and final round of the 18th 5200 HSC season. Berzerk won the poll by two votes. Use the default settings. Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by rayik with 28,440 points. Beat that if you can for a bonus point. The ROM can be found here: https://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-5200-berzerk_13530.html Round ends Sunday, June 9th, 2024 @11pm EST Standings: RB5200 - 15,120 Cafeman - 14,690 NE146 - 13,530 Ryan Witmer - 13,230 oyamafamily - 7,430 UnRedeemed - 5,490 jblenkle - 4,680 Mikey50 - 3,910 jeremiahjt - 2,620 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 What usually “does me in” are unexpected diagonal shots. The 28k high score seems unattainable to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya… the game gets really brutal after 8,000 points. No idea how someone could persevere so long after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 11,340. Man, I don't know if I am willing to keep spending time playing to try and do any better. Usually I only make it to 7k-9k range. Those shots get fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 The 28K score has a screenshot to prove it and is from a 2007 5200 Berzerk HSC contest. Amazing score. perusing through some of the other Berzerk HSC‘s, I saw a 16K score too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
