  1. Like others, I don’t find 32X chaotix very fun. But I still appreciate it and enjoy it at times. The reason being, its parts are unique and somewhat nice, some nice music, interesting use of color and concepts, I like the 3-D bonus rounds with flat shaded polygons, and I like the big red Metal Sonic boss too. it doesn’t compare to Sonic The Hedgehog however! Sonic is a 10/10 game to me, and Chaotix is a 6/10 at best.
  2. I have yet to play it, but I have watched others play it online and seen videos reviewing it. Frankly, the game appears to be extremely well designed and engineered. There are all kinds of cool ideas, variety, and things to do in the game. Graphically, I can’t think of a more impressive stock hardware 2600 game. Everything from the colors, the animation, the art, to the parallax scrolling, is impressive and eye pleasing. It is easy to see this was made by a couple of experienced masters.
  3. The 5200/A8 version of River raid had the perfect upgrades from my point of view. You get two toned craggy river banks, the darker tone didn’t destroy your jet so you had a little more wiggle room; the bridges are numbered, and you can start at different bridges, plus the extra tanks and enemies. Even the analog flight control was easy to get used to. An optional soundtrack would’ve been awesome to have though! Hmmmm… good idea actually. Hack river raid, adding a two or three channel background soundtrack. 😀
  4. I went to an arcade, saw Zaxxon. Hadn’t played it for years so I was looking forward to it, but quickly realized the joystick was busted. I thought huh, reminds me of my 5200.
  5. Very funny, "Stupid Magazine, issue 1". Your maze game looks like large & small intestine guts.
  6. A curious score in comparison with the above. Sorry, RB5200. What is this, The Price is Right? 137,801.
  7. Jag development seems more exciting than boring old 5200 dev. 🤔
  8. 25,100. I'll start off with this. First I've played this new version, I do remember Tix posting about improved visuals especially changing that Aardvark-with-sunglasses patrol buggy! Great visuals!
  9. 30,819. Not easy to control with a digital game pad!
  10. 425,650. My final entry. I'd need a better control setup to do much better - left hand is a handheld Saturn controller for moving, right hand uses arrow keys to fire.
  11. 213,075. Altirra using keypad arrows to fire and a USB Saturn controller to move.
  12. new personal best for this round - 97,670 high score. (Edit) stage 1 claim removed, didn’t understand the rule so never mind!
  13. Defender wow'd me the most. I also loved Pac-man and Qix, of those games.
  14. Here is a brief video showing how to get a special ranking if you slay over 10 or more dragons and win the game!
