Another thing I forgot to mention is the legitimate 2 co-op.

Space Invaders is meant to be more controlled and defensive, rather than frantic. It's really up to personal taste. What sets SI apart in my opinion is the HUGE number of game variations.

Every game in the top ten that isn't H.E.R.O., Warlords, or Space Invaders is pretty overrated. Especially Pitfall! and Adventure.

Thank you.

but one has the Atari logo at startup and the other doesn't. Is this normal?

All you have to do is hover as you reach the top of the next screen. No memorization required.

H.E.R.O. is one of the greatest video games ever created.

There's an excellent Game Boy remake you should check out: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy/585790-lock-n-chase Very similar to what Nintendo did with the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong if you're familiar with that game

2600 Pac-Man has to be the most overly hated game ever. It's a fun game that's different from the arcade game (duh, it's a 2600 port) but captures the spirit of the game well, has decent AI, and the gameplay works well. In contrast, Asteroids, which is somehow considered one of the 2600's classics, is incredibly boring and easy and moving your ship feels very awkward (not that you actually NEED to move it, as any decent player can just stay in the middle of the screen and play the game for hours without losing!)

Yup, when I got my SNES in late 1991 (for $180) I paid $70 more to get Final Fantasy 2 for it. To this day, it remains my most expensive game. My dad actually bought it (though it was my money) but I'm not sure where he got the system and game at, or if they really had marked up the cost of the game or that's what it was going for then. I think it was either Child's World or Toy World. Actually, that isn't overpriced at all for a SNES game, especially a Final Fantasy. SNES games like that often retailed for as much as $70-80, sometimes even $90. By the way, I'm a huge fan of the Soul Blazer trilogy!
