I know this season has been a little bit lean when it comes to bonus rounds. Sorry for that. So, this bonus round ends Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 11:30 pm ET. You will have the opportunity to make up to a whopping 50 points. You can play up to 10 games... which is great for those who came in late in the season.



Here are the rules:



If you have played the game during the season... you must beat your recorded score in order to get the 5 points, otherwise you will get 1 point. If you didn't play the game during the season... you must beat the lowest recorded score for that game in order to get the 5 points... otherwise you get 1 point. For those games we didn't play during the season... you get 5 points.



I hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks again for your continued patience and dedication. Have fun!!!

Okay... please check the numbers and let me know if they are right. If I need to make corrections, please let me know. I will be working on the certificates the next week or two. If anyone has a really neat background they would like used... please let me know, as well. Otherwise... they will likely look similar to what they did last year. Thank you again for your continued patience... and dedication to the 8-bit HSC.

I think the idea was to play games from this season, but the main thing is to play! You might find a few new or obscure ones that you want to suggest for next season...

[JellE]

Yeah... my intention was from this season... but since I didn't make the distinction... I suppose it doesn't really matter. With that said... when you post your scores... let me know what season the game is from... that way it is easier for me to keep track of! Thanks a bunch!!!

[roadrunner]

I wasn't quite sure what the rules were for this bonus round.
I'll try to beat some of my scores from the current season.
And i should be able to beat the lowest score for Miner 2049er, that's the only other
game from this season that i didn't take part in.

I started to put a list of games to suggest together. It's alot easier to find some good games now at atarimania
since they redid their website.

Yeah, I used to never go to Atarimania. But ever since they redid their website I've been going there a lot. I especially like the magazine reviews you can look at for some of the games.

You can always try again... it doesn't matter how many times you try. I am not limiting it to one attempt.

[4Ks]

Well, once Christmas comes along I'll be able to play my games for points! Let's hope the lowest score for Pac-Man is pretty low, 'cause I'm bad at that version or the game.
