I so nearly put it in the poll (really) sorry, will add it next time. If you want to suggest 5 games for the entire poll you can, that way you'll get one that you have (see the bonus round 10 discussion thread)

Wait... where is Lone Raider??

How do you farm a goat?

You're obviously no goat expert. You don't "farm" goats. You just put them in a fenced field and hope they don't break out and eat your children.

Actually, I don't have goats yet. I'm planning on getting a couple black ones and calling them "The Lads", Zeus and Apollo, like on Magnum P.I.

I'll say, "Zeus, Apollo - patrol!" (...but in this case, "patrol" will mean "wander around randomly and eat vegetation")

Thanks, I needed an idea for my next game project

me too, especially since I just got the cart in the mail today. I used to have it on 5200. It was good stuff and the port is as good as I remember. Jr. Pac-Man arrived today too. I love the port so far. Dig Dug, Miner 2049er, and Q*Bert also arrived. Dig Dug is the later port based on GCC's 5200 port. GCC made some good stuff (Jr. Pac-Man was their game too).

One thing about Jr. Pac-Man, in case it's used for a contest. I'm not sure if it's the emulator, but Glenn's 5200 conversion seems a bit off. The ghost behavior seems to be a bit jerky on that version, which wasn't the case when I tried the actual 5200 version on the same emulator. The actual 800 proto I have on cart that is sold from B&C, Video 61, and kjmann runs smooth too (and has the ability to choose the number of ghosts, along with changed sounds to sound more like Jr. Pac-Man. As mentioned before, it's a later proto. Considering most of GCC games were ported to 800 later by Atari, it makes me wonder if a more complete 5200 proto exists). Despite not having it, I voted Joust since I heard good things and it sounds like a better HSC game than Fractalus (I love Fractalus, though).

How is the A800 Thrust? I read it is not the best version and I don't like the look of the A800 version. I love the A2600 and hope the A800 one is good, though.

I used to have Jumpman on PC booter. Probably not the best version, but fun game. I want to get the A800 one, but it seems to be pretty hard to find. I have Jumpman Jr. on Colecovision and love it.

jJumpman is great, but I'm still hoping for the very underrated Lord of the Orb.

I voted for Jumpman, but kinda wished I'd voted for Lord of the Orb now! (yes, it is very underrrated!)

[Goochman]

I voted Orb

[atariron82]

Count me in for Orb!
