You mention the crisp graphics of the Activision games, I also distinctly remember that from playing Chopper Command at a friend's house. It's interesting to read about the games you were playing at the time. My console was bought around 1981 (with Combat cartridge, from Comet store I recall). The other games I had were (in order of purchase) Asteroids, Adventure, Defender, Freeway and Cosmic Ark. Adventure is the most fondly remembered, I read an Atari newsletter reporting that someone had recently discovered the dot easter egg, so I went searching for it too. Finding a new feature was quite a big deal given the prices (£30 each in 1980's money) and the long wait until I could afford a new game, plus there is something satisying about knowing everything you can about a game. Cosmic Ark seemed to me at the time another step up in graphics resolution, even compared to Chopper Command. I would say all games except Cosmic Ark got equal play-time (i.e. played to death), Ark got too fast too quickly and the resulting games were too short. The console and games (and official dustcover!) got sold to help fund a bicycle, but around 1990 I saw the Atari Jr and bought one new. It came with several cartridges. Off the top of my head they were Centipede, Pele's Soccer, HERO, Ms Pacman, Stargate, River Raid and Adventure. I also bought E.T mailorder to see what it was like. Favourites here were Stargate and HERO. I still have the Jr and games that came with it. My favourite game overall that I played back then (but never owned) was Raiders of the Lost Ark. It seemed to have a greater level of complexity and more puzzles than other games, plus good graphics. It was reminiscent of Adventure to me. Another thumbs up for Activision Grand Prix which I played a lot, trying to beat a friend's fastest times.
