5200 OE HSC Challenge 07/2024 Meteorites


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Our game in July, is the hard to find Meteorites, released July 1984. Play on defaults, using Atari-mfg controls, and real 5200 systems. Period aftermarket sticks may be used, such as Wico, CompPro, with a -1 HSC pt penalty. Only modern exceptions, are flashcarts/SD loaders running original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does.

No wonder the same company made the Masterplay… you need a better control option than the CX-52 to do well at this game

Funny you say that, it even says to use a different setup in the Manuel.

Of the vintage options, I've found the Comp Pro to work the best here.

took the -1 with Comp Pro. As much as I like this game, the flaws do it double. It's not horrible by any means, but rare for a reason, lol. 

Biggest flaw is response to period controllers. I'm standing on my comp pro run, but using redemption and old genny 3 button, I managed 11,300, and I'm not really that good. Another reason we don't do that here, most of the time. ;) This particular clone game, was just ahead of its time. It deserved this 40th anniversary run.

Quite a range of scores, but still a tight game played. RB5200 takes home this very finger killing win, and a well earned one. 😎 Sorry for being a day behind, but my modem, while working, has no net. Supposedly getting fixed tomorrow evening, but I'm borrowing some net to do the postings. Next round coming, soon as I can :)  I had storms here nightly, for all last week, and the repetetive power outages, must have cooked it.
