The 2600 now has an really good port of Donkey KongComment

I still think the Atari 5200 was the biggest mistake the company made. It was a rush job to compete with the colecovision and had alot of problems.Comment

The Intellivision was indeed a pretty powerful system for its time.
Talented programmers could get a lot out of that console.
Many of the games developed by third parties just didn't do the system justice.
But the internal programmers at Mattel Electronics were really producing some truly great games for the Master Component by the time of the great video game industry crash.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

The 2600 could do better graphics than often given credit for. I feel the main problems were the programers were hindered by having to use very tiny rom sizes and the development of the games were very rushed. The difference between the rushed abysmal 4KB Pac-Man to the later Ms. Pac-Man is night and day.
I liked the 5200. Great graphics but terrible and fragile controllers.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...Comment

Wish the videogame crash never happened. Your right about ROM sizes. I'm not sure which one was the first but CBS Electronics and Activision both were putting out larger games just when Atari was starting to have financial trouble. Tunnel Runner and Pitfall 2 are both advanced carts. I'm really suprised the Supercharger add-on didnt catch on that allowed games on tape to play on a 2600.

The 2 player war games like Sea Battle and Armor Battle were always great fun, too.
Loved the space games. Space Battle and Space Spartans are ones I still play a lot.
And the Intellivision version of Burger Time is awesome.
So many great games.PUNY HUMANS!Comment
