    It did have some really nice looking and sounding games. I believe it had a better sound chip than the 7800.

      its been a long time since i played a5200 to compare the sound. i think the 7800 had a better color palette though and was smoother. the technology of the two is about the same time period though... i know the atari xe computer is just about the same as a xl (and really not much stronger graphics wise than an 7800)
      were you around amigas and atari st computers back in the late 80s early 90s? i still wish i had one or both of these computers,lol

        Tweaking things a bit, back in the day I thought Jungle King/Hunt was Ok but mostly an afterthought. After getting to play it again on a cabinet it would probably make my top 5 and has given my Taito Legends PS2 disc more use than it's seen it some time.

          I enjoy a good game of Galaga. I used to play it as a kid but was horrible at it...I think my game would last about 30 seconds. Now I can at least get a good quarter's worth of fun out of it.

              Rad Racer for the NES. It's kinda like Pole Position but, you know, more rad and in 3-D.

              Burger Time for the NES. Nice port. Looks good, sounds good, hard as heck.

                Rad racer is absolutely awesome. it would have done great as a arcade game. i think i like it better than outrun.
                newest game im into is outrun turbo on MAME. alsome graphics and challenging stages!

                  been getting into Smash TV lately. Its not totally a new game to me, i had played it a few times when it first came out and then forgot about it. Its a pretty intense game, i wish i had someone to play it along with.

                    I bought the Sega Genesis collection for PS3. It has some of my favorites: Golden Axe, Columns and (to a lesser degree) Streets of Rage.

                    I also like the old X-Men arcade and TMNT arcade.

                    River Raid is awesome! Forgot about that one. I also like 1941 and 1942.

                    Anyone remember Star Raiders - Wikimedia Error That game was lots of fun. I remember playing that as a kid.

                      That game was beastly hard for a single player.

                      I actually have that game but haven't been able to play it yet because I still need to get the key pad thingie for it.
