S.BAZ Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think 2600 Space Invaders is the best arcade port on those systems -- I liked it much better than the arcade version! (still do) It felt "scary". It had an impending doom factor, so I want to shoot right now! Really easy to get into and very challenging and I wanted to play again & again. Seeing someone else play, I felt super jealous like, give me that damn controller now! The arcade version... well, I didn't really care if I was playing or watching. I liked it but only would play once or twice at a time. The difficulty was a bit brutal and the fun factor wasn't exactly through the roof. Plus it had a kind of "silly" feel to it like that game Carnival. It lacked the intensely engaging feel of the 2600 version!! Popeye: 43,500 (2nd attempt) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also strongly prefer the 2600 game to the arcade - one of the very rare instances for me where I prefer a home port over the original - but there is probably a bit of bias for me toward the 2600 version since I grew up with it and never even played the original arcade version until I was in my 30s. There are many other games inspired by Space Invaders that are much more fun to play than Space Invaders itself, IMO. It's a pioneering game but just a bit too "basic" to hold my attention for more than a few minutes at a time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 For 2600 port I’m going to go with Track & Field. Got this for Christmas in 1986 and it was pretty cool with the arcade style controller it came with. We used the controller to play Decathlon too, which probably saved us lots of busted joysticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Turbo Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Side Quest This is the hill I am going to die on. I absolutely love the Galaxian port to the 2600. Galaxian - 4,150. Just not the same without the Atari controller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
