MouseTrap is on the 2600 and is a fairly good translation.Pepper2 is one of my favorites and as fars as i know it was only on the ColecoVision.I really need to get myself a Intellivision lots of cool games to play on that system.

Demon Attack on the Intellivision is closer to Super Demon Attack on the TI-99/4A than the 2600. The INTV version uses the hardware better than the 2600 version. And the later versions of Demon Attack, like the TI and INTV versions, probably ended up with 'kitchen sink syndrome'... in other words, during development, the programmers thought they could expand the original game idea by throwing in everything but the kitchen sink. It was pretty nice to see how the gameplay evolved in the classic period.

 

What would have been interesting would be if Imagic survived the crash and kept putting out games for later hardware platforms. I'd like to see how the game would evolve throughout the 7800/NES/SMS era, into the 16-bit console era, and into the modern polygonal graphics age. A little like how Pac-Man's gameplay went through different (and sometimes wildly radical) style changes on up to Ms. Pac-Man's Maze Madness and Pac-Man World 3.
