    I love my Odyssey 2! I just played Frogger and Q-Bert. Frogger is incredibly difficult on this . When the frog gets run over, it's kinda gross. The splat is a little more graphic than on the Atari 2600, IMO.

     

    I'd highly recommend Monkeyshines. The tag games can be confusing in a good way.

     

    Have you tried "KC's Crazy Chase" ?? That's another outstanding game. it's like a combo between Centipede and Pac-man.

     

    Do get "Quest for the Rings". The whole concept of combining a board game and a video game is very cool, especially in the 1980's. This game actually won an award.

     

    Don't be discouraged by bad reviews you may hear. It just means that there will be more games out there for us O2 fans! LOL

    Why can't you move to the left on this game??!!! :x :x :x

    I thought my Lynx was broken when I played this for the first 12 times. Later, I found out the sad truth that the game is programmed that way. Allowing radioactive food to sneak up behind the Green Giant without giving him any way to fight back is just wrong.

    I just bought a Coleco Vision MIB , still in the styrofoam, for $10. :lust: :lust: :lust: :D :D :D

     

    It's mine! All mine! This was the system all of the rich kids had when I was growing up. We called one girl "Ms. Moneybags" because she had one. Most of us kids had to settle for Atari 2600's. The cool kids had Colecovisions and everyone always wanted to be invited to their parties.

     

    Just call me "Mr. Moneybags"!! :D

    Whoops! I forgot to add my idea.

     

    "Caddyshack" - Have two levels; the first level could be just a golf game (use any Atari golf game). The second level could be a bonus level; Use the game "Gopher" . You get to be Bill Murray trying to kill the Gopher.

    They just came out with a video game for the 1970's movie "The Warriors". (Someone really needs to make a homebrew version of this for the 2600!) Aren't there other movies from the 1970's-80's that deserved their own game??

    Which movies from these 2 decades would you like to see as a video game? (Movies that do have their own game [ ET, Raiders, Gremlins] don't count.)

     

    :lust:

    I just got "Joust" last Friday. The instructions say that you need to press the "Pause" button to help select options. I can't find one. :roll: Which button are they talking about?

    I also can't figure out how to start game play on "Joust". I'm guessing it has something to do with the Pause button.

    This left/right thing is not what kills me, it's the "kitchenfloor" stage

     

    I find this section really difficult, and it takes some time to get to this stage, so I haven't really gave it a try since then

     

    It's a pity, because I personally think this game is not so bad

    So that's really how the game is supposed to be? You're not supposed to be able to go left on "Kung Food"? So my Lynx isn't broken???

    Y'all:

    I don't mean to be blasphemous, but-

    Which game is better: Pac-Man (the Atari 2600 version) or Odyssey 2's "KC Munchkin". That's the game that Atari sued Magnavox over. I think KC Munchkin is more creative. You can design your own maze, and the characters were cuter and more colorful.

    I've been tinkering with my Odyssey 2 (which I bought for $20 new in box on eBay). I remember thinking , when I was a kid, Atari was much superior. Now, it's kind of campy to look back at the fuzzier graphics on Odyssey 2. (Did you know they made an Odyssey 2 version of Popeye and Q-Bert???
