Regarding guilty pleasures, I guess Deadly Duck? People seem to think of it as a pretty mediocre shoot-'em-up, but the more I play through my library, the more I love it. In terms of stuff playable on the 2600+, it's now in my #2 spot for shmups. (#1 is now Demon Attack. Cliché I know.) And in terms of stuff I can't stand to play, Space Attack. I absolutely regret buying it. Maybe it's because I haven't RTFM, but it's SO SLOW! (And I turned down the PC version of Intellivision Lives! to buy it instead. >.>) Edit: I kind of forgot about Juno First. So #1 Juno First, #2 Demon Attack, #3 Deadly Duck. (Albert, this is the last edit (on this post) I swear.) Ah thank you so much for enjoying the waffling of a mad man.🤣 I think Deadly Duck is pretty good, I enjoy the quirky theme and the unusual game mechanics. Demon Attack seems to get all the love, I guess it's down to which game we have nostaliga for from our childhoods, but I prefer Phoenix. Very similar games.

Have not received it yet so don't know if there is any difference. I own Dragonfire, just bought it because of the artwork. The artwork is cool looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when I found that Commando Raid hack. It has the different box art and name. But it's the same game basically. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2LTIME6100 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I also really like Pressure Cooker. On the 2600+ the volume of the background music changes noticeably. Is that the case with you too? I have the PAL version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapper is in the post to me right now, I think I'm gonna make it my last expensive purchase. I'm not gonna chase Star Wars or Spy Hunter. It's done, I played them loads on the ZX Spectrum back in the day anyway. How's Tapper on the Plus? I bet it looks nice via HDMI. Tapper and Spy Hunter are great games and play well on the 2600+ Spy Hunter is a kind of dual stick too. Do you know Roc'n Rope? On my 2600 Jr it was black and white but it runs with colors on the plus with 46 fps, so it is PAL😊 Edited February 22 by DEANJIMMY 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane857 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Picked these up today for under £50 complete. Vanguard is a great shooter and Pooyan an addictive little arcade game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Chef kinda spoiled me for this game, and I'll otherwise just play the NES version, but it is historic at least. Of the others, Lock 'N Chase is decent if not beautiful. Dark Cavern and Astroblast have their fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2600+ joystick works with it like a CX-40. It looks very similar to the Robotron Coupler, but it is different because unfortunately CX-40s are not perfectly square.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115705547062 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I do have the arcade version of Burgertime on the Data East collection for Evercade. I also have Dark Cavern & Astroblast as loose carts. I like the M Networks versions as well as the INTV versions. I have the INTV collections for Evercade. Collection 1 includes Nightstalker & Astrosmash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
