Ugh… again!?!?
couldn't we have played Space Harrier 3-D this time… It would be refreshing to play some different titles than the same games from last season…

[Cebus Capucinis]

OH SNAP time to play!

I didn't want to have to recycle a game, but lately we've had nothing but obscure games that no one except zylon and roadrunner own, and it's been making things kind of one-sided.

If I may offer a list of games that could be used for hi-score play…
(of note, these are also USA releases)

Action Fighter
Alien Syndrome
Altered Beast
Black Belt
Captain Silver
Casino Games (pinball)
Cloud Master
Enduro Racer
Fantasy Zone III: The Maze
Galaxy Force
Gangster Town (light gun)
Ghouls & Ghosts
Paperboy
Power Strike
Rastan
Rescue Mission (light gun)
Space Harrier 3-D (there is 2D mode)
Strider
Thunder Blade
Time Soldiers
Transbot
Vigilante
Wanted (light gun)
Zaxxon 3-D (has 2D mode)
Zillion II: The Tri Formation

most of these games are arcade ports and offer score centric play and most are commons and were all USA releases

[Sonic R]

here's a score I did real quick

2,623,470

Yeah, zylon and i are running away with the championship.
I'm picking zylon to repeat as champion.

Since there's no pranks this time, I'll really play then. 3,125,960

Lately, it has seemed almost pointless to put much effort into these games, even though I promised a proper defense. It's like kicking a dead dog. Why don't we pick a few from Sonic's list a while? Maybe participation will pick up some. We're almost at the point where I don't even need to try. Just have to post something. I've even given out some free games to possibly add more contenders.
Sonic R usually presents a most worthy challenge when he has the game. I wouldn't mind giving some of these a go. A few are extremely hard compared to their 16-bit counterparts. Another suggestion would be to get an emulator disc for a Dreamcast system. It's cheap and I've only noticed a 20%-30% decrease in my scores on some games when I've tried it.

Man, I used to be better at this... Oh, and I saved Sonic R's list, so now you can count on seeing less obscure games from now on.

I love the occasional hidden gem game, but maybe only 1 out of 5 should be obscure. I kind of know how getting left out by game choice can be since I've been getting that all season on 5200 so far, even though I have like 40 games. I'd much rather see more players and participation which more common games bring.

Slight improvement: 3,167,510

Is there 1 or 2 games you would really like to see played in the 5200 HSC?
I'm thinking of starting a bonus 2 pack round.
I know atariron82 wants to play Looney Toon's Hotel.

Hmm. I never found that one, but a 2-pack of the "paddle games" Kaboom! + Super Breakout would be cool. Maybe even some homebrews and protos. I'll PM you a list of what I've got.

Looney Toon's Hotel is a proto, Kaboom! sounds great.
That one hasen't been played before in the 5200 HSC.
I'll go with Looney Toons Hotel and Kaboom! for the next 2 pack.
And i'll put Super Breakout (Breakout Mode) on the next game poll.
That game hasen't been played for awhile.

I decided to give this game one more go…

I'm just not a fan of the SMS Space Harrier

I know the feeling. Thunderblade's the same way for me.

Even though difficult, I have a soft spot for Thunder Blade and kind of like it…
