McKong vs atariron82

I like the text standings. Easier to read.

Well this season has been long and tough, ok it's been great fun. Thanks to *EVERYONE* for playing there have been some fun rounds and great games (and a few duffers (nobody better say Gwobby S.B. !!!))

I managed to hold of a strong challenge from Deteacher througout the year (probably due to the PAL vs NTSC advantage!) with McKong stealing in at the last to take his 2nd place... Next season I am pretty sure we will see a new HSC champion crowned (Hey where's my crown gone ?) If you made it into the top 10 or won a game then give yourself a pat on the back if not c'mon next season you can do it!

Here's how I HSC rated the games from this year:

[roadrunner]

I didn't think i would finish in the top 10
Quite a few games i wasn't too good at.
It helped to post a score for most of the games that were played.

A few games i really enjoyed - Threshold, Jr Pac Man, Dig Dug (5200 port), Beamrider, And River Raid.

Still waiting for someone to hack Ulf's Berzerk to show a final score.


Many thanks to trbb for running this HSC!

I somehow knew you would sneak this game into one of the lists (I had money on best game/game you enjoyed most) I can't believe I just did this and what was worse you made me have to play this game again to test it

OK "Let Battle Commence" It's Ulf's Berzerk... 2012! - I made it show your score, high score, fire to start & moved the title screen code so it runs a bit quicker (including the screen wipes which is nice as you die approximately every 8 seconds [on a good go])


New HSC players do NOT under any circumstances load this game - you have been warned

 BerzerkUP-2012.atr   130.02K   13 downloads (needs BASIC)

You owe me big time Mr RoadRunner

I think you should phone the man up and get the Ulf Fan Club rolling

There is some other ULF stuff of his on the ATR:
"Atex.bas" assembler and "Aladin1/2/3.bas" looks like a treasure hunt type game?
(press reset then type RUN "D:ALADIN1.BAS" then hit return)

[roadrunner]

You Da man trbb!!


Awesome!! Thanks alot!!

How did you get the rom for Aladin?
Atarimania doesn't have it, dump missing

They don't have the rom for his version of Berzerk too, dump missing.

re: New HSC players do not under any circumstances load this game - you have been warned

LOL, come on it's not that bad.

These files are all on the ATR I downloaded when hunting for bonus games when we played Berzerk proabably from atarionline.pl .. . the aladin1.bas might be a loader 2 and 3 seems to be versions of the game - not sure if it works properly - haven't tried it on real hardware (might be some W.I.P. I know i'm always saving bits and versions everywhere when my disk gets full when programming, you'd have thought with hundreds of disks I'd have a few blanks but no!) Hope you like the mods now the game deserves it's 3/10

Better see if we have enough votes for Season 9 to start....

I though you wanted some time off from gaming.... ok I'll start the new season before you end up in the asylum (another good game)

Yeah, i wanted a bit of a break, but i did not expect a hacked version of Ulf's Berzerk so soon.
Besides this game doesn't take long to play.
Any chance of Ulf's Bezerk getting added to the all time records?

I couldn't find any video clips of this game on youtube
Hopefully someone will post a clip of game play footage on youtube

And hopefully Atarimania will add the dump for Ulf's Aladin and Berzerk to their database.

Sure you can hold the record
Guess what - I saw another Ulf game today!

Turns out there are a few - http://atari.fandal....utt_details_x=x including that finished aladin game - you should compare the versions... perhaps I'll use an Ulf bonus round (as punishment) if anyone breaks the rules probaby there are some good games here not played them yet, Mr Splash looks like a Mr TNT clone or perhaps it was first?

@trbb, since you were able to hack the title screen of the classic Ulf's Berzerk to show the final score
do you think you could hack Springer?
This game doesn't show the final score.

you want me to phone hack Jerry Springer?! there's a lot of it about over here
just checked it and it's an executable file (not basic/turbo basic) so beyond my capabilities (for now!) not seen springer before - says about moving paddle to start but looks like a joystick game - let me know if it works with paddles... anyway you need to be moving over to season 9 and practicing DropZone (luckily for you we have over 2 weeks for the 1st round )

LOL, Springer's a port of an old arcade game, very difficult too.
I don't know if it works with paddles.
I thought about suggesting this game before but it doesn't show the final score.
Maybe someone reading this can change that.
Anyway off to Dropzone, i'm gonna get over 10k if it kills me.

[therealbountybob]

Here are your end of season certificates! I made them low res (SVGA) but you can adjust them in Paint if needed. They make a nice desktop background & there should be room for your icons too

Now try and spot which games the graphics are from (list on post 5)

Hope you like them!

Thanks for playing everyone
