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!

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?

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)?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
