Seems like a celebratory giveaway is in order! Who doesn't love a giveaway? I hope I don't sleep through this one. I received this in the mail today. From what I read, it's a Sears exclusive, text based Star Trek game? I haven't had a chance to try it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it something we can earn by posting something or is it a random drawing or did you mean just for the creator of this topic??? 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh boy I totally cannot say that, but I get why people appreciate it. Of course some people can't understand how I can tolerate and even enjoy the music and sfx on the 7800 version, lol. Having only the TIA chip for sound is a common criticism of the 7800 but I actually like it. It doesn't (usually) sound just like the 2600, the 7800 is actually capable of making better use of the chip and using it to its fullest capabilities, while the 2600 is often too busy drawing lines I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I purchased my first 7800, it came with several games, including DK and DK Jr. Both games became favorites of mine. I have DK/DK Jr. for my ColecoVision and Intellivision consoles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2600 version of Donkey Kong is a great accomplishment on the 2600. Maybe they should have given the developer more time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the latest interviews where he talks about the limitations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
