For sure! I did that just now, I hope I didn't overreach 😉 Thanks again! BB

Ok, my favorites have already changed 😉 haha! Mostly due to there being so many awesome titles released since this pst! Here goes: 1) Tempest 4000 - Because... this is the best dang game ever, period 🙂 My new top favorite, even though I also own it on XBox One, and I have T2K on the Jag and think that's pretty amazing too 2) Kombinera - Loving this new puzzler, developed by Atari and Graphite Lab. It's Atari's first IP in like 7+ years or something, and it's a great effort, and much appreciated by a huge puzzler fan like me 3) Asteroids / 7800 (and all versions!) - I pick up ALL the flashback games, because I do love them all, but I've been playing Asteroids 7800 alot and also on the original console, as well. I play this then play Asteroids Recharged, as well as Asteroids on my Atari 800XL, and sometimes the 2600 version. Just love me some Asteroids lately! haha BB

I know it is.. I just had to download it again, I love this game so much 😉 "It's only a dolla!" hehe
