THIS WAS THE ONLY GAME THAT MATTERED IN MY HOUSE IN 1983 |

Making an inferior port of an arcade classic for a 40 year old piece of hardware on a rather expensive homebrew cart doesn't exactly scream "talented hobbyists releasing high quality games" to me but rather "talented hobbyists wasting their time making a game nobody asked for or wanted". ;) --- End quote --- Did you even look at the store's list of titles or are you just assuming they are all Pac Man remakes? The vast majority are not ports. Some of the homebrews would be counted among the best original 2600 titles if they had been released in 1981. --- End quote --- What does that have to do with berating Dave for not recommending a homebrew port of pac-man? |

I enjoyed a lot already mentioned like Kaboom, Circus Atari, Yars Revenge, Pitfall, etc. Had forgotten completely about Freeway and Barnstorming...yeah, they were fun too. I think I remember finishing Pitfall. The game ended with like 14 seconds remaining, or something? I dunno. I recently tried downloading a Kaboom app for the phone, but didn't find anything impressive. I never got a 2600 emulator, so from memory I recall loving Maze Craze and look forward to trying it again someday. Also liked Dodge Em, Sky Diver (splat), Football, Baseball, Breakout and the Sprint racing. Sorry, think I probably have the name of that one wrong, but I liked the ice track - one bad move and you were in the wall. |

Swiping a screen isn't the same. It's a knockoff of sorts of the Atari Avalanch arcade game, which also used a potentiometer for control. |

H.E.R.O. I played the crap out of that game, although now I am not sure if it was the C64 or 2600 I played it on, lol. |
