After playing the arcase version, do handhelds dissappoint?

Roback

Although just the idea of having a portable Dig Dug rocks my world I was wondering if any of you guys have ever felt dissapointed with a handheld after you played the arcade version?

Nope. I have Battlezone and Mr. Do! in my kitchen, and a friend of mine has an entire garage full of arcade games. I play Donkey Kong over there all the time, yet i still really like the Coleco tabletop. They are different enough to be interesting.

Never bothered me back in the day either. A guy down the street had like fifteen tabletops, and I played them whenever I could

A good game is a good game, regardless of format.

Well, I like the Battlezone a lot, but I haven't quite been lucky enough to find a wife.

I bid on a few on ebay, but I keep getting outbid Laughing

You're rigth about Frogger Lord Thag, especially since the arcade version graphics were pretty basic. I enjoy playing my Ms Pac Man as much as the arcade version. Galaxian is not the same but pretty close. Galaxy 2 makes me think of a mix between Moon Cresta and Galaxian, wich makes it pretty cool.

As for Donkey Kong i've never been good with that arcade game and it's the same thing with the handheld so i guess they pretty much close also.

Pac Man handhelds always bother me in how different they are.

Well that's really what got me into electronic games.. trying to find a small version of Space Invaders! (of course I'm talking like 1979 here..). Anyway, I'll admit they all somewhat dissapointed me since in my 12 year old mind, I was seeing a miniature version of the actual Space Invaders screen. And what I got was at first an electromechanical version of the game (which sucked). And then of course later on the electronic ones like Bandai Missile Invader came out (which sucked as well since it had like 1 friggin invader! Laughing

). Once Entex Space Invader came out, to me that was fine enough. You could do counting shots, and other things.. so I guess I was content at that point.

I also like the Entex space invader games, particularly the second one. Being able to count your shots and time them to hit the mothership is very cool.
