Oops i didn't read the part i could select multiple answered until after i voted. lol

I play in the 2600, 5200, INTV, & SMS HSC's, but only if I own the selected game. I've made exceptions twice. I play most of the 2600 & SMS games but only really 10 to 20 of the 5200 or INTV.

[4Ks]

I'd say SMS HSC.

[roadrunner]

I have fun taking part in the high score clubs.

We could use a few more players in the 7800, Master System, and Arcade/MAME high score clubs.

[JacobZu7zu7]

2600 is my favorite because it's got one of the biggest selections to choose from.

Intellivision is soon becoming a favorite as well...

 

I often forget the NES HSC, and when I remember it's a game I don't own.

Same with Atari 7800.

 

I don't have working 5200 controllers.

 

I don't own Colecovision. (expensive)

 

I don't own any Sega system.

 

There's only so much room left for storing video games. Emulators are fine, but I don't

remember how to download and tweak them.

A8 HSC! Lots of friendly gents in there and some good conversations as we play!!!

[Dan Iacovelli]

2600 and Jaguar are mine. I might take a shot at the Lynx one but mostly the two I stated

[davepesc]

I played in the 2600 and SMS ones for a while, when I had the game. I really need to get back into that someday.

[Shantai]

ColecoVision for me

 

Ive played nearly all the systems from 1976-now and love the simplicity of the CV and the endless enjoyment

[keilbaca]

Definitely, the Atari 2600 high score club.

 

I actually got some time now, and I have a harmony cart, I have no reason not to start playing it. I think I'm just going to wait for next season... we'll see.

[Mister VCS]

Bump!

[Austin]

I think the Jaguar one would be a no-brainer for me..

[4Ks]

I didn't notice the multiple vote thing, but if I had I would have voted for the 8-bit HSC as well.

[VectorGamer]

The Arcade/MAME HSC is by far my favorite HSC!

[BenG76]

I really need to get into participating in these more. Hopefully this winter will give me more time to do so.

[Atarifever]

I only really have time in my life for one, so I settled on the 7800. Some of the best arcade ports ever, I own most of the collection, and if you don't like the 7800 it is because you are a monster who hates and detests all that is pure and good. So yeah, 7800.

[Sonic R]

I enjoy the high score competitions!

I'd play in all if I could, but have limited myself to the Sega Master System and Nintendo Entertainment System as I have a pretty decent amount of games for these console…

I am only able to play what I have as I don't have the means for emulation…

[oyamafamily]

My favorite HSC is Atari 2600, which I always play. I rarely participate in 7800 HSC contest.

Currently, I have two emulators to play Atari games: Stella (2600) and ProSystem Emulator (7800).

Arcade/MAME FTW.

 

My problem with the console HSC's is that my game libraries on real hardware are limited in scope to specific games I want to own (i.e. I'm not a collector/hoarder), and I can't stand playing console games on emulators.

 

Which is kind of funny, considering I exclusively use MAME--an emulation platform--for my HSC of preference. I think the fact that I play the games on my MAME cabinet is a big factor that helps drive home the experience; if my only option was to sit at a computer desk with a gamepad, I probably wouldn't have any interest at all in participating.

 

Plus, there's just something about classic arcade games--they have so much soul. I think part of the reason for that might be that they didn't all run on standardized hardware like console games do, and hence, the games all have a unique look and feel. Plus, they're so damn challenging (most of the time) that when you start to improve your skills and get higher and higher scores, it's very satisfying.

 

Here's a picture of the control panel I built for my cabinet:

Jaguar!...... of course it's the only one I participate in.

^ ditto...the only time I play console games in emulation is to see home brews...but even then I probably play less than 5 minutes at a time
