Why is this so terrible?
ChadTower:
I had never seen Hellcade before so I was just poking through it. I don't understand the problem with this one... what is wrong with it? Is that a Pong conversion?
Level42:
Yes ! You can see the spinners on the CP. There should be only pushbuttons.....
Must have been one of the very first games to be converted !!!

That's my point... it's not so bad. At least it's something reasonable for the time and not a tampon dispenser or something.
JimmyU:
It wasn't like Computer Space was flying off the shelves either.

I guess it would have been OK if it were an official Atari upgrade kit, but I guess they hadn't thought about that then.
I still don't like it. This is a relic of arcade video games. I played the one that Darthnuno owns and it felt like doing some indecent thing really.....I completely love the design of the cab. This cab (like any other classic) should be original.
But ok, this conversion was probably done in the 70's, and as such is an interesting thing by itself.
And it's a lot better than the one with Pac Man in it !!!! :banghead: :banghead:
