Shark Attack had 3 label variations.

Of those three, I like the Lockjaw label the most for some reason. The other two labels look good too though.

Hot take:

Lost luggage is better than Kaboom!💁🏻😋

 

(I don't really like Kaboom!). 

I like both games.  Kaboom is more difficult for me.  But I still enjoy it.  It's one I want to get but I don't have any paddles yet.  I did preorder the stand alone pack.  Once that comes, I can start playing some paddle games such as Kaboom.  Also, Lost Luggage is like a clone of Kaboom.  And, it seems like Lost Luggage could've been a paddle game with how it controls.

I picked up Shark Attack a couple of years ago. I really enjoy the game. I have since seen reviews on the game some say they don’t like the game because they keep getting stuck on the walls. I believe it’s meant to play like that because you dive deep into the murky darkness of Davey Jones’ Locker and enter the shark infested maze of kelp beds!

But Kaboom! doesn't feature underwear. 🤣

 

Although Lost Luggage came after Kaboom! and no doubt exists because of it, wasn't Kaboom! a rip off of the arcade game Avalanche?

Yeah it gets destroyed in reviews. I think it's pretty good too. 🤟🏻

I'm not sure if it's a rip off of the arcade game Avalanche.  It might be.  By the way, there is a 2600 homebrew of Avalanche.

I like Eggomania more than Kaboom!  You know, I might like Lost Luggage more too.  Something about having a terrorist's suitcase bomb going off and killing you is quite exciting.

My copy of Eggomania is the only game in my collection that I can't get to work. 😒

Only when it happens in a video game.

I replaced my PAL Chopper Command with the NTSC one a while ago and noticed just how much nicer it is. I'm slowly doing this for most of my Activision carts as their PAL games are the worst. Slow, compromised colours and large borders. Yuck. 

Robot Tank plays okay - of course I can’t play my NTSC one to compare, but…😅

NTSC version works fine...

With better colours and a larger screen... only if you can upgrade your firmware though, Sean is stuck on the factory one.

Here are the 4 games that arrived today. They all work fine.  

 

Bowling (Telegames) is one I always liked.  It's a classic.  Too bad there were not more bowling games on Atari.

 

Dragon Fire is good.  Using the gamepad makes it easier to play.  I can get farther.  

 

Squeeze Box is interesting.  I don't think I ever played it before until now.  

 

Turmoil is a fun shooter.  I'm glad it has auto fire.
