    I'd buy it in print form.  I'd love to have something like this to go along side the VCS.

    It is a really neat system.  It needs more original games made for it.  Not for the 2600, not for the 7800, but for it as it was made to do.  Not that I mind seeing 2600 and 7800 games and homebrews on it...I'd just like to see something original and only available on it.  I reached out to Atari via email and told them some suggestions. The response I got was they would pass the ideas along.

    I want to add a nitpick!  Every so often the ball comes down a return lane and manages to sort of "hover" over the flippers, regardless of the player activating said flippers, then plops right down the drain, ha!!

    This score was particularly aggravating - after getting 187,000 on Ball 1, the table sank the next four balls in rapid succession.  This table hates the player and is not afraid to show it 😆

    I also feel like the flippers don't really offer any satisfying power.  They are like slow wet noodles. 

    BUT these are very minor nitpicks.  I think the game is excellent.

    I feel so good about myself when I have the bumbers/center pin enabled and still manage to sink the ball anyways 😄

    The new update to NeoSprint is live. It has a zoomed in view for single player and implements the twist function of the Classic Controller for steering.
    If you haven't looked at the game in a while, it's well worth revisiting. I didn't care for it at release. Now it's fun.

    This game was one of two I spent my first paycheck on when I was 16. I never regretted doing it. It’s a very impressive 2600 pinball game.

    I found the track I was referring to. I also won a new car! Let’s see what it won.

    I love how the cars in GT5 are presented. Time to go win more cars!

    I bought this one today. My first VCS purchase. This game is why I purchased a VCS.

    Hey Konami! Release your classic collections on the VCS!  
     
    I really wish some old school publishers would jump on and put up some VCS offerings. Not in PC mode either.

    Here’s my score so far. I think I’ve found my favorite VCS game and Recharged game. This one is addictive.

     
    87025 using Modern controller. I may try with the Classic controller.
