EVERYONE welcome to play - even if just in the
Diamonds Jubilee
we have three of the best A8 games plus one from the archives to try out...
Boulderdash II (or 25th edition XL/XE) - Total completed screens - players who have won a HSC round this season can only start on Cave A on each level other players can start on Caves A/E/I&M. Play on all the levels 1-5 and do as many screens as you can. 1 HSC bonus point for highest screen reached from Cave A Level 1.
DiamondZ (fandal) - Total completed screens - players outside the top 10 can enter the code FREEZE to have unlimited time. 1 HSC bonus point for completing the game.
DiamondS (English Software Co.) - Hi scores.
Diamond Mine (Roklan) - Hi Scores. I've not played this one but it looks a nice game, might be a bit hard to see on PAL TV's so turn the colour to the max!
Scoring These games will be on a points per play basis, these will be totalled and allocated HSC points. 24 for the winner, 22 for 2nd, 20 for 3rd down in single points from here.

Something new for our HSC, well under my reign anyway! We have a knockout football tournament.
I've picked Thorn/EMI Soccer as it's a decent game (supports 4 player simultaneous if you have an 800 or multijoy). Fandal has an XEX version that doesn't need the 800 translator. Wait for the settings screen to appear and then use joystick to change level.
This may get confusing, if you need any help please post and I'm sure someone will help explain
Group Stage - finishes Saturday 9th June 10am GMT
10 minute matches - play up to 10 games in a row - you can play more than 10 games but they must be in a continuous block - No restarting! Post ALL of your scores, even when you lose. I'll take the last 10. Normal football scoring 3pts for a win, 1pt for a draw, goal difference etc.
Settings/Handicapping:
Play on level 2 if you are a reasonable player.
Play on level 3 if you are a top 10 player.
Players outside the top 10 may play on level 1 if you cannot manage level 2 (bluecat!).
Players who have won a HSC round must play on Level 4 for that number of matches
e.g. I've won 2 HSC rounds so I play 2 of my 10 matches on level 4 (number of HSC wins in brackets below) and the rest on level 3
