+DamonicFury Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Welcome to the sixth round of the 19th 5200 HSC season. Countermeasure won by one vote. 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 Northcoastgamer with 204,500 rubeon with 207,500 points. (Thanks to Cafeman for the correction.) Beat that if you can for a bonus point. The ROM can be found here: https://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-5200-countermeasure_13590.html Round ends Sunday, September 9th, 2024 @11pm EST Standings: RB5200 - 968,100 - RECORD BREAKER Cafeman - 139,100 oyamafamily - 98,500 Ryan Witmer - 82,400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 139,100. Playing this on emulation has some wacky controls - the first moments of each level are an initialization sequence it seems, I madly press all directions and press both buttons and then the tank stops moving on its own. is it the same on real hardware? I wonder if I have this on cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I have this on cart Yeah, you gotta to recalibrate every level on real hardware also, don't know how extreme the difference is between emulation, vs real hardware though, if any. Mine is OE. By the way that's to close to my score, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
