    Star Raiders on the 5200 is probably a top-3 game for me in terms of how much I played it.  The only game deficiency I remember is the lag when an enemy explosion was on-screen, especially one close to your ship.  But that was a minor annoyance -- the quality and complexity of the game more than made up for any little detriments.
     
    I wish I'd kept track of some of my rankings from back in the day!

    Now that's hilarious!  LOL.  I had both versions and they are good games.  I guess I'm just more partial to the 5200 port.  I did like the 8-bit version when you hit the wrong key.  "What's wrong?", would pop up on the screen.

    The computer version is absolutely one of my all-time favorites.  I do have the 5200 version, and agree with you that the joystick works well.  Plus they fixed a bug or two.  But I miss the keyboard, which really gave it that "Star Trek" feel.  In fact, it wasn't uncommon to have one player manning the joystick and another on the keyboard with the computer version.  Of course, you HAD to call the keyboard guy "Mr. Sulu".
