Classic Arcade To Atari 2600 Conversions Rated

Thanks to PeekNPoke for its reviews of the best and worst of classic arcade game conversions on the Atari 2600. The piece looks at which early '80s conversions came off well, and notes Missile Command as one of the best ("Plays even better than the game it tries to emulate, and works very well with the standard joystick"), and Pac Man as less promising ("Usually voted as one of the worst arcade conversions on any system ever, and it is not hard to see why.") Which arcade conversions were you eagerly awaiting, only to find them ruined by classic hardware restrictions?

Why bother doing arcade conversions?

ET sold the system on it's own

If you don't have a girlfriend, and still want to have sex, you can easily emulate it with Jenna's fake ass.

For women, there is the wild rider, which does a great job.

Sorry, just like masturbation, MAME isn't all that.
