Suggest some games to play in HSC Season 9 folks

Up to 10 each for now!

Will keep the same voting system 5 games to pick from with the runner-up game being kept on for the next poll. The others will re-appear in later votes. Scoring 12pts for the winner, down to 2pts for 11th and 12th places.

If anyone can get an extra player to join in (even occasionally!) that would be great

Standard rounds will be one game every two weeks. Will probably run 3 'special' rounds including a Team round late in the year. I will also endeavour to support new releases as we need to do all we can to encourage new games. If you have any good smaller games more suitable for a bonus round or any theme/bonus round ideas list them here too. If you are bereft of inspiration checkout the Ratings and Records

Don't be shy

My list: (so far - might change this too!)
1. Trolls and Tribulations
2. Millipede
3. Zybex
4. Fire Fleet
5. Robix
6. Gumball
7. Diamonds (ESC)
8. Alley Cat
9. The Extirpator Transmuter
10. Frogger II: Threedeep

hmm, well I don't know too many games... but I guess I could suggest a few. of my personal (~10 game) collection, I like asteroids, river raid, space invaders, and super breakout.

[Sub(Function(:))]

How about doing theme sets? say "Synapse" games or "English Software":

English software:

• Jet-Boot Jack
  
• Firefleet
  
• Diamonds
  
• Dan Strikes Back
  
• Captain Sticky's Gold
  
• Hyperblast
  
• Electraglide
  
• Chop Suey
  
• Neptune's Daughters
  
• Breath of the Dragon

Synapse:

• Shamus
  
• Necromancer
  
• Rainbow Walker
  
• Blue Max
  
• Fort Apocalypse
  
• Alley Cat
  
• Dimension X
  
• Nautilus
  
• Encounter
  
• Zeppelin

P.S. I would love to join in but I just don't have time may be in a few years IF i get chance to retire

List all 10 if you like - there are a couple of players with only a small collection so it helps to know what you have

Funnily enough I had thought of doing an ESC vs Synapse round (lots of great titles* - there may be some ESC games that don't run on NTSC?). The odd game every two weeks c'mon 10 mins that's all it takes - ok and there's the 10 just one more go goes too

* though Breath of the Dragon might drive a few people nuts!

Please could you or innuendo could post something on atarionline.pl about the High Score Club - see if we can get some more players?!

[Fallout_002]

Any chance at a "knock-out" tournament this year?

In any case, my possible suggestions for HSC 9 would include:

1. Mr. Robot
2. Up Up and Away
3. Ollie's Follies
4. Miner 2049'r
5. Jump Man
6. Blue Max 2000
7. Dave's Midnight Magic
8. Planetary Defense (ANALOG)
9. Caverns of Mars
10. Jet Set Willy (2007) or Montezuma's Revenge

Lastly, a bonus "Mail Order Monster" tournament could be interesting, though I'm not sure how this would work.

Nice list Fantastic too see some new players (we seem to lose them as fast as I can round them up) like runnaway MULEs A knock out tourney is a nice idea for a bonus round (might add a few handicaps to keep things interesting).

I loved playing M.O.Monsters but it was a pain with all the disk swapping - I think I hacked the disk for extra cash once. Geat satisfaction when you nuke your opponent on the map If anyone's a fan of Archon or The Adept then M.O.M. is their evoultion - awesome game. To play it competitively might be difficult (ok all round to my house!) but give it some thought - perhaps so many goes: # wins / $ won - I really can't remember so will dig it out sometime for a play
