      Lock N Chase. Had not played it until recently. Excellent Pac-Man clone.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Its not too vintage, but I just started playing the first Paper Mario game from 2001. Doesn't have the humor of the later ones, but still a good time.

                its hard to imagine it but you could say a game from ten years ago is vintage now. that was on the n64 right? i still havent played majoria mask yet i skipped it because its a beat the time type of game. at least thats what i was told by a friend. havent played paper mario yet either, i'll probably get around to it at some point...

                  The Intellivision is a great system. Pac-Man for the Intellivision absolutely puts the 2600 version to shame.

                    back when i was a wee lad (around 9 or so) back in 83, the atari was the system to have. i thought the intellivision was inferior just because EVERYONE had an atari. really the intellivision is a good deal more powerful. atari had more publishers (which of course is the reason so many games are so bad to)

                      River Raid, probably the most addictive game on any vintage system, save for Yar's Revenge, which when you get too far, simply crashes....

                          Totally, both the Intellivision and Colecovision smoked the Atari 2600's graphics. The Colecovision was insane for its day. Awesome arcade ports. I still remember walking into a store as a kid and seeing a Colecovision running for the first time. The store had Donkey Kong running. I was like, whoa.

                          My first game console was actually the 5200. Loved it! Before the controllers broke anyways. Great graphics and sound. I think it would be a much more beloved system if the controllers weren't so bad.

                            the 5200 was one of atari's many blunders when it could have and should have been a hit. they remind me of sega in so many ways with how the saturn and dreamcast did. the 7800 was SUPPOSE to have been released in 84 (the controller and size of the 5200 were a big deal) and by the time they did release it the NES was already kickin the old games to the curve. i wonder sometimes what things would have been like if atari had manage to dominate. super mario bros and alex kidd on the 7800!

                              the colecovision was fantastic. it managed to have great ports of frogger and q bert and a number of others. unfortunately this is another system back in the day that was really expensive so i didnt know anyone who had one. i just played it at toystores. this system was a casualty of the "video game crash" in 84. i for one dont really feel games went downhill that much, i was just as in to them as i was when i was younger. we use to have some great ms pacman tournaments around town way into the time the nes was released.
