The year is almost over... and with that we will need to come up with new titles to play, or for that matter, suggest the ones we like the most. So... with that said, recommend or suggest the games you would like to see on next year's list to play. Thanks to all of y'all!

[Gwobby]

Hey! Was on the Loco disk and like O'Riley's Mine, I'll suggest that

[cephallus]

One of my new-year's resolutions is to participate in HSC regularly.

Sorry if we've already done these...how about Kikstart or Popcorn?

[Goochman]

The arcade titles and the more common games always get the votes

I would suggest a better mix of some cool unknown titles or new ones (Animal Party)?

[therealbountybob]

Here are some of my favourites

River Rat
Nibbler (Superb game)
Pastfinder (Strike this one now as we played it last time!)
Rainbow Walker
Mr TNT
Aquatron
Drol
Hard Hat Mack
Laser Gates (And this one!)
Miner 2049er
Popeye
Rubber Ball
Sea Bandit
Topper
Steeple Jack
Trolls and Tribulations
Whomper Stomper
Whirlinurd
Wizard of War (again!)
World Karate Championship (aka International Karate?)

A few classics:
River Raid
Gyruss

Donkey Kong
Joust (on skilled or may be advanced level?)
Qix 1983 ver?
Probably too many Shoot-em-ups

And Hard-Hat Willy!

Ixion
Ghostbusters (another one I never managed to beat, just watched video on Atarimania)
Alley Cat (how could I forget)
Tube Baddies
Sea Fox

Think that's it now, should be enough for the next few years!!!

Frogger II: Threedeep
Pogotron
Phantom (might be a bug in this stopping beating a certain level? [fix available -whi not quite so ignore this one for now!])
Spy Hunter
Fire Chief
Drelbs
Bristles
Beam Rider
Bug Attack
Oils Well
H.E.R.O.
Keystone Kapers
Mr Do!
Monster Smash
Lost Tomb
King Tuts Tomb
Pharoes Curse

How about some paddle games?
Clowns and Baloons (Advanced; has joystick control too)
Kaboom
Plattermania

I've really got to stop thinking of games that I'd like to play
Bellum
Vanguard
Caverns of Khafka (can't remember if this had points - It does, hoorah!)
Captain Sticky's Gold
Pooyan
Journey to the planets (if you wanted something really obscure!)
Equestrian
Tail of Beta Lyrae

That's definitely IT!

p.s. Super Pacman
Captain Beeble
Gorf
Galaxian
Whistlers Brother (again!)
Millipede

Mario Brothers
Satan's Hollow
Necromancer
Scooter
Zone X
The Extirpator
Aztec Challenge
Attack of the Mutant Camels
Blue Max 2001
Super Zaxxon
Ataritris

Stop me please

Repton
High Rise (may be - make that definitely, what a good game... wonder if this was pre-tetris?!)
Tank Commander
Mig Alley Ace
Catterpiggle
Ninja Master
Pinhead
Juice
Parallax
Frisky Tom!
Arena 3000 or Robotron 2084

Newer Games:
Yoomp
Monstrum (as we didn't play it)
Metagalactic Llamas - Battle at the Edge of Time (just checking out AtariMania for more recent games and found this Jeff Minter game from 1983 had been converted to the Atari this year!)
Jellybeans (Have contacted the author as was too easy to just survive in 1 player mode and hopefully will get a modified version suitable for the HSC)
Flowers Mania (only got 5 levels thou)
Anyone got any others

Edited by therealbountybob, Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:47 PM.

[mimo]

Donkey Kong
Joust
Gyruss
Miner 2049'er
Preppie!

[JellE]

Awesome... we are going to have lots of games to choose from next year! I will start compiling the list soon!!

[Deteacher]

Miner 2049er
Fort Apocolypse
Mr. Robot
Oil's Well
Star Raiders - Commander Level (Maybe leaderboard could be determined by best rank achieved.)
Mr. TNT
Jumpman - Randomizer setting.
Arex


I'm sure I can come up with more, but this will do for starters. I, too, plan on playing more in this HSC. Now that I have a Stelladaptor, I can play with a real controller! If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one, if possible.

[JellE]

Great suggestions!!! Keep 'em comin'!!!

[Zone Ranger]

I like

XAGON

Gauntletak

Edited by Zone Ranger, Sun Nov 23, 2008 9:36 PM.

[Deteacher]

I'd like to add Zone Ranger (the previous post reminded me of what a great game that is.

I'd also like to add Flip and Flop.

I just clicked on the store link and it was working.

Anyway, the Stelladaptor is $39.95 (and worth every penny.) Here is a direct link to the Stelladaptor:

Good luck with it.

[VW]

I only like the more common games I remember from my youth so my list will be a bit boring.

Kaboom
Jumpman
Jumpman Jr. (best platformers ever)
Great American Road Race
Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man
HERO (I think that has been done before but I always missed it)
Encounter
Centipede

That's all I can come up with now but there are much more, I also like the Star Raiders rank idea a previous poster had.

[madman420]

I'm new to the highscore thing, but I'm willing to kick anyone's butt at Defender (hard)! and Gyruss! =)


so how does it work anyway? I have a real Atari 800 XL, but I can play/record in emu.

Well... what we do is pick a game... and the contest runs for 2 weeks. You can either play on a real machine, or emu... the choice is yours. I provide a link to the information on the game we are playing for the bi-weekly contest. All you do is submit your score and that is pretty much it. Challenges are encouraged, even though you don't get any extra points out of it... it is a little bit more fun when there is some serious competition.

You are more than welcome to jump right in... or just play whenever you feel like it. It is truly up to you. So, with that said... glad to you have you, and please have fun! If you have any further questions, I would be more than happy to answer them... just let me know!

Welcome to the HSC! Hey madman420, think I can take you at Gyruss

p.s. Someone recommended the game Bandits it looks an ideal game for the HSC (needs the translator to run!).
Also Meteor ?!
Diamonds
Dan Strikes Back
Shamus:Case II
Genesis

Some games I haven't played much that seem ok:
Super Cobra
Lawkeeper
Sky Blazer (this reminds me of Aquatron)
Marauder
Mountain King
Stella Shuttle?
Java Jim
Astra Phantasm
Wing Wars
A-Zone (on continue mode)

Edited by therealbountybob, Mon May 11, 2009 2:52 PM.

Would it be OK if i suggest a couple games?

Atari Invaders
Beef Drop
Captain Beeble
Food Fight
Gorf
HERO
Pac Munch Jr.
Robotron
Super Pac Man
Tapper
Zeppelin

[JellE]

Absolutely... I will add them to the list. I need to finish the research on the games so I can get everything all posted. I am being lazy.

[therealbountybob]

How about playing a brand new game folks CTetris v4e
and an oldie Shark just found this one and is very atmospheric?!
