    yeah... but I think 90-93 is a bit late for the C64 to do something like that.

    Yo 8 bit computers, i'm really happy for you, and i'm let you finish, but the TRS-80 CoCo had some of the best cartridge games of all time. OF ALL TIME!

    i love Dungeons of Daggorath, one of my favorite games, and that's surprising considering i generally dislike non-Nintendo games dating before the Genesis. Atari seems to have aged a little too much for my tastes and without music in the majority of them, they aren't really as amazing as they can be. Even with Pitfall II, the music made me love it instantly. I can't say the same for the other games, where everything is so pixelated the simplistic controls just aren't worth it. I wholeheartedly support Imagic, CBS, and the later Atari games though (most of my Silver label games are pretty good)

    Agreed, I've got about 25 or so Tandy Coco carts and some are excellent. The later versions of games like Rampage, Arkanoid, Tetris, Rad Warrior, on the Coco 3 are incredible. Even some of the early games with limited graphics like Doubleback, Color Baseball, Skiing, Stellar LifeLine are a lot of fun. Since Tandy had no license agreement for any arcade conversions (until the Coco 3) they relied on creating brand new stuff that you can't get anywhere else. Love the Coco.
