      I have many games that show 3 of the same. Which one should I use?

        You don't really give much to go on. What system are these for?

            Well, you're in the right place then. That's a good start. They appear to be the same game by different publishers. They're all basically identical apart from the rotating credit at the bottom of the screen. Personally, I'd recommend scrapping all three and finding the original that was published by Atari.

                Absolutely no way at all. Please read the forum rules.

                  @stevefo I wouldn't bother to be honest. All the 2600 versions are awful. Stick to an arcade version.

                    @AlexMurphy I agree, Just wanted some throwback games to put into that folder.

                      As far as 2600 version go, they really got it right with 'Ms Pac-Man' and 'Jr. Pac-Man' though. In fact, the 2600 port of 'Ms Pac-Man' won "Videogame of the Year" in 1984.

                        @stevefo Yeah, I get it. Even the crappy games are part of the fun / history. Just to reiterate the advice already given. Please don't ask for or give advice about where to obtain ROMs. It's the one thing you need to figure out for yourself, people are more than happy to help with anything else. Good luck.
