Mario Bros (Old Green Version!)

Fandal's one has fixed sounds, yes I know there are better looking versions but this one still plays nicely!

This will be a difficult vote.  Played 4 of the 5 as a kid ("Chuckie Egg" being the one never played). One reason that I love these HSC is get to play games never knew about.  So Chuckie it is for me.

 

I  was lucky to have my close friend's dad working at Atari growing up as part of the A8 business side.  Was amazing going to his house!

The Atari version of Chuckie Egg is bit too slow if I remember 

[carlsson]

Well, at least there seems to be a way to "finish" Chuckie Egg by reaching 2 million points or level 138, on which it supposedly crashes out. The programmer commented that it never was his intention that someone would get that far.

 

Edit: Yes, a little bit slower on A8 PAL than e.g. C64 (A8 NTSC is faster, though the birds turn green). At least it is a platformer where you can jump/fall a little distance without dying all the time (yes, I'm looking at you Bounty Bob in Miner 2049er).
