The 7800 version does look great and it plays well.  It if had a POKEY sound, it would be much better but Atari was cheap at the time and they didn't want to spend the money on the chips for the carts.

Sorry to off topic, but do you visit a star trek bbs?

The last time I went to Little Caesars was last year.  The $5 pepperoni pizza I got was tough.  Literally, the breading was tough to bite into.  As a rule we stick to Dominos. Best pizza in our area for the price.

Totally agree on dominos.  Their quality has gone up quite a bit over the last 10 years.  When we don't feel like getting a pizza from the Italian joint down the road, we'll get whatever deal they have going on at dominos.  Their hearty marinara is the best, love the chunks of tomato.

I totally get you.  My first home console was a snes my parents had and never played 2600 till my dad got me one a couple years ago.  And I understand, dk can feel kinda antiquated.  Only reason I like it is cuz my dad and I used to challenge eachother to games of it when we went to the arcade together.  He is still better than me at it, but it makes me think of gaming with dad.  I could Google, but did the 5200 have a good version of dk?

For me, I think my favorite way to play DKjr with a cx40 is on the commodore 64 🤣.  But now we're talking apples and oranges.  If I was a kid growing up in the 80's and I only had a 2600, I'd probably be stoked to have any sort of version for my console.

I tried chopper command in BW and it looked like an old war film.  I recommend for something kinda different in atmosphere.

Dang, this game is tough on emulator.  I might try and beat this score on the Sixer.  I hope to be back with another post soon.

All good choices on this thread! 🙂 Popeye, BurgerTime, Frisco, Gyruss and Moon Patrol have immersive captivating musical themes.   

may be a bit out of tune, but was always impressed by gyruss!
edit: Totally forgot about moon patrol.  I was giggling listening to that groovy track playing the other week when I snagged it.
