But I find the graphics better on the 5200, and the control is MUCH better on the 5200. I wondered how they got an anolog control (Roller Controller) to replace a digital control (ColecoVision Joystick). Not very well.
But the way the Roller Controller holds the 2 ColecoVision joysticks is kind of cool. Too bad they didn't have any 2 joystick games (at least that I know of) like Robotron and Space Dungeon....
Back to playing Intellivision...
