Best obscure game on a retro console?

[vintagegamecrazy]

Here's a fresh idea for a poll from the vintage era. I wanted to start this to spark conversation and talk about something new. Which game of the below listed is one that you like best? Some of you may have never played any of these or maybe only just one but give it you best shot, tell us why you liked it and wether you liked the console or not.

First off we have

Water Ski - Atari 7800, really rare game but a great one to boot, tricky controls but well worth mastering them for gameplay's sake. Probably my fav in the 7800 field.

Alien Invasion - Channel F, not a great game overall, but not too bad either as far as the channel f goes, and a moderate Space Invaders clone.

Cat Trax - Arcadia 2001, graphically not great but a great Pac Man clone (actually more of a lock n chase clone) but none the less probably the only decent arcadia game at all.

Polar Rescue - Vectrex, one of the best and rarest games for the console.

MAD - Atari 2600, a beautiful blend of atlantis and missile command, and minimal flicker.

Cat Trax - Arcadia 2001,... none the less probably the only decent arcadia game at all.

How insulting! Poor Arcadia - forever underloved. :bawling:

I think the arcadia could really shine with a good homebrew or two to prove the system's mettle. I like my arcadia don't get me wrong, it's an awsome part of my collection, but the games aren't that great. If there's some more games for it that you like then share your thoughts.

I voted for Water Ski because it's got really tight (and unique) play control. Once you get the hang of it, the game starts to become pretty interesting. It reminds me of Prince of Persia in that way. If you can get through the learning curve, there's a great game on the other side.

I had to vote Water Ski since its the only one I've played :(.

My vote goes to Bounty Bob for the 5200. ;D
