                      @mediamogul i like seeing et getting some love. Most underrated game for 2600. Now i love pac-man's sound and it was my first pac-man experience, but man they could have done something better with that. Yars revenge was the best back in the day game. Best homebrew imo, halo 2600. I love that game.

                      I might be kind of partial to this intellivision homebrew since i created the title screen graphics, but i really like "the secret government waffle project". Chris Read also made a cool game called gosub. The intellivision is probably the best system for homebrews. Tons of great homebrews every year.

                        it was my first pac-man experience, but man they could have done something better with that.

                        That's what they get for publishing a prototype. It's awful, but like you, it was a big part of my childhood. I can play it now in sort of a relaxed zen state due to it's slow pacing, but all-in-all I'd rather be playing 'Ms. Pac-Man'.

                        Best homebrew imo, halo 2600. I love that game.

                        That's a great game. While not exactly homebrew, have you played 'The Stacks' that was developed as a contest game for the 'Ready Player One' novel?

                        The intellivision is probably the best system for homebrews.

                        Yet, it's one of the systems that I have the least homebrew for. I need to change that. I think I'll start with 'The Secret Government Waffle Project'. What a great name!
