basically, my door got hit into me, and I bounced off it, into the center stuff. I couldn't reclose the door, so few tack welds on it now, and using other side. This is as-hit condition here.

Well, my method of using index finger around under controller, to use right side buttons, still works. Long as I sit kinda still, not turning head, it works. I might try again tomorrow, but that's been my best yet. Just been my year of injuries... I actually play "our" game weekly, and just turn in best I caught, in last few days. While still on the adrenaline rush, I welded the busted door shut, and replaced the snapped tie rod end, so I could get home. I declined the ambulance run, because no hospitals anywhere near me, so they'd have run me all the way to north Atlanta, which is gunshot central, even in the hospital. Then, I'd be stuck up there, trying to get back with no ride, to a still busted car. I've no medical anything, and driver had no ins at all, so wasn't much to try. I've gotta wait until ordered somewhere by my atty. My normal walking range is like 50yds and back, before needing a breather, so going through two counties was out, and I don't have any modern account stuff. I might be the last 8-track around here, lol

looks like RIOT memory errors

Road rager that I'd passed some 3m before, for going 10-15 under limit, decided to chase me, once they could see my crown Vic wasn't a cop. They ran up to where I turn left into my work driveway, went around and turned directly into my door. Their car was screwed, and my battlecruiser limped off to work. An idea of how hard the hit, is I don't recall backing up, to resume my turn. That's despite my clearly seeing it on my cameras. This happened on my own turf, so I had at least 4 views of it.

I feel like that busted ship today, lol. This was my 5am yesterday. 04.28.2024 collision.mp4

There was no April 1984 releases for 5200, but we'll borrow from another month, and play Beamrider. Begin on level 1 using defaults, on real 5200 systems, and Atari Mfg controls. A -1 HSC pt penalty for use of period aftermarket sticks, such as Wico, etc. The only modern exceptions, are flashcarts/SD loaders, running original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

This month, we march forward in 1984, with probably our best game of that year. Robotron. Play on defaults, using real 5200 systems, and Atari Mfg controls. Use of period aftermarket sticks allowed, with a -1 HSC pt penalty. Only modern exceptions are flashcarts/SD loaders, running original Roms. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. You'll need the finger rest, for a future month. Current HSC record- Bust it for a bonus point!

It always does the heart good, seeing records still set using original equipment. Exactly that, was done here, by RB5200 in bagging this month's win.😎 Thanks to all who played, and next game coming up...

This is one of my 5 faves, and I've explored it extensively, trying all sorts of things. No matter what you use, it comes down to skill and timing. If you play too good, those bugs will activate, so I never ruled against them. I don't run this often in OE, as a month of it is just too much, lol. Clearly one of the 5200's top shining stars, even today.

It does tend to alter the progression of time. You get kind of a "matrix" feel in playing. It takes a few consecutive near flawless laps, to trigger those. 211 is first, and if you complete one like that, 227 is next. Otherwise, I use full speed and cut corners to maximize time.
