I would agree that Activision made the best games.

Some great Atari non-ports/first party games:

Canyon Bomber
Combat
Demons to Diamonds
Haunted House
Maze Craze
Real Sports Baseball
Star Raiders
Super Breakout
Video Pinball
Yars' Revenge

--- End quote ---

The Colecovision was da bomb.  I had never seen or heard of it until my father brought a used one home from the flea market complete with the steering wheel and dukes of hazard (pretty sure that's why he bought it)
I fired up Donkey Kong expecting an Atari 2600 like experience and then holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- it looks just like the arcade game!
OK, maybe it wasn't arcade perfect, but that's what I thought at the time and it was a helluva lot better than the Atari 2600 version.




Somehow my neighbors ended up with one around the same time so we could trade games, but nobody else at school had one.



yotsuya:
Yeah, I love the Honeycomb cereal barrels and big brown poop - looking ape in the Atari version.
yotsuya:
Oh M Network, you were so ahead of your time...

That's style.

I used to love the catalogues and manuals almost as much as I loved the games.
