Nope, and, in fairness, the c64 version of choplifter that my mate had was very good indeed.

It didn’t have a version of Choplifter, though.

@Psychotext

From that very re-direct :

“Originally known as the Atari VCS — for Video Computer System — the machine’s name was changed to “Atari 2600″ (from the unit’s Atari part number, CX2600) in 1982 following the release of the more advanced Atari 5200″

@Steph

Crummydore 64 ? We’re all about the spectrum. The C64 had superior sound, sprite handling, colours, a keyboard that actually worked etc etc etc. But the spectrum had a soul. It was made of grey rubber and installed by Sir Clive personally in each one.

I vaguely remember playing this on the Sega Master System, does that count? ^^

I’m old enough to remember it, but it’s the crappy 2600 version that I played first. Sega’s 1985 arcade version is definitive for me. That game rocked my socks.

I played this on Atari 7800. First system was the Atari 2600 though (that was the name on the box #5). M e m o r i e s . . .

Atari 5200 ? Modern rubbish.

Atari VCS is where it is at. And can everyone stop calling it the 2600 please ? That name came later.

As you were…

No, no and thrice no. The resurrection of ancient games is no longer nostalgic, but just evidence of breathtakingly cynical cash-ins to snare people like me.
