    IMO, homebrews have the best attract screens, especially if music is part of the 'attract' as it is usually on loop, I would suggest:

     

    Toyshop Trouble

    Lady Bug (no music though)

    Thrust (beautiful text effect with one of the best 2600 tracks EVER)

    Lady Bug is SUCH a masterpiece, and IMO better than arcade version, the ways you can control the maze are more significant and really impact gameplay, corresponding doors turn simultaneously

    Just got a copy of Dark Chambers, and realizing quickly how simple a 'Gauntlet' game it is, although it actually precedes Gauntlet, being based on a game called 'Dandy' I believe.

     

    Its fun but grows old fast, but was thinking, could/should it be upgraded by a homebrewer to include job classes, power ups, and theme levels

     

    Thoughts?

    LOVE that these existed, discovered through this thread so thank you:)

     

    Has anyone ever toyed with the idea of making new patches and running a service rewarding screens again? I bet the hardcore would pay reasonably, so could be made to be profitable. I know I'd pay. Albert?:)

    Overrated - Berzerk, horribly repetetive

     

    Underrated - Moonsweeper wins hands down, I can play this game longer than any other title, unique control on planet landing screen really adds spice, controls like no other VCS game, amazing graphics for the time, and plays 'swing low sweet chariot' on death? cmon, its awesome

    What's yer thoughts on Chetiry?

    LOVE it, most played next to both Pitfalls, Breakout, and Phoenix

     

    Sure its not a 4K game, blah, blah, but it works so well, amazing conversion, well balanced, amazing graphical and sound achievement. Any hardcore Tetris lover should own. Wish every cart had high score save, adds so much IMO.

     

    One small gripe - when pieces are up against right or left border they sometimes cannot be rotated unless pulled away from border - glitch?
