It's hard to include arcade licenses in the play list nowadays, but several of those were also given a large amount of time back in the day.

Since so many of you were creaming your panties about Demon Attack, I decided to try that one out last night.  That's actually a damn good game as far as the 2600 is concerned.

It was better on Intellivision.  :angel:    I still play it from time to time.

DeLuSioNal29:

Agreed. Intellivision is much better than the 2600 version.

Does anyone remember the "Supercharger"?  It was basically a huge cartridge with an audio connector on the end of it. The games came on cassettes which you would load using a tape recorder.

I LOVED a game called Dragon Stomper.

Does anyone know if the Supercharger is emulated?

I seem to recall a controversy surrounding the Intellivision version.  Something about a lawsuit, due to the mothership sequence (not in the 2600 version) being almost identical to the one in Phoenix.   :dunno  Still, for it's day, I'm with PBJ on the 2600 version.  I still play that game once in a while. :)

I remember it.  First saw it in one of the magazines, but it was a pricey piece, so I never had one.  I was also concerned about there being a lack of software support, which eventually turned out to be the case.  Still wanted one badly, as the games looked really nice.  Stella seems to have support:

The XONOX double carts were another great oddity.  Two game sharing the same memory, so the cost per game was lower.  Not fantastic games, but Artillery Duel was fun.
