Title: Atari 2600 High Score Contest - Centipede
Post by: ReddMcKnight on January 09, 2014, 02:13:04 PM
Anyone remember that thing where we all competed for the Highest Score on Phoenix for the 2600 way back when? I'm pretty sure it was before the Great Forum Crash...Anyway, I thought it was cool, so I figured I'd start one up. This time, it's for...

If you feel like breaking out the old 2600 (or 7800, but no emulators!) and a Camera, feel free to compete! There are no prizes, except for Glory and bragging rights. Heh...

Anyway, here are the rules:

1. You can use any brand of Atari Joystick to play, but NO Sega Genesis Controllers! (Not that anyone would know, but I trust this community.)
2. Again, no Emulation allowed.
3. Just try and have fun. Don't work yourself too hard.

Make sure you have a Camera handy so you can take a picture of your High Score.

Good Luck! :)

P.S.
The Highest Score by February 9th is the Winner.

Can I use my arcade machine? I need to dust it off and clean the trackball, and it would be a good excuse to do so. ;)

If the machine has the Atari Logo on it, I don't mind. You still gotta take a picture though to prove it though. :)

It's an original Centipede machine, so I think it has the Atari logo...

I have a trackball for my 2600. For me, it's an essential accessory. I'll probably post a score soon. ;)
