Killer Bees is great! Someone really should port it to the 2600.

Nah. Make 'em buy an O2.

I agree..

The O2 is an excellent system. My neighbor had one when I was a kid in the early '80s while I had a VCS. Attack of the Timelord was one of our favorites as well as UFO, Quest for the Rings (my neighbor usually DM'd <he was older> while my brother and I would be the players) and Conquest of the World. I bought one about 10 years ago and it's still a really fun system although percentage wise a lot of the games are pretty lackluster (especially the sports titles). There are some real gems though. I bought the multicart a few years ago. It works great and it's neat to try out the games that were released overseas. The one overseas release that I really get a kick out of that seems to be universally panned is Nightmare. It's a strange game but once you figure it out it's pretty addicting.

I enjoyed the O2. Early games for the system didn't impress me much, but then Magnavox seemed to really start getting serious with game releases.

Quest for the Rings, Conquest of the World, and Wallstreet were fun and original titles. Add in K.C. Munchkin, Pick Ax Pete, Freedom Fighters, Attack of the Timelord, and Smithereens and the system was a blast to play.

My favorite game is Turtles. Many, many an hour I spent spent dashing around the maze trying to save the baby Turtles and enjoying every second of it. One thing, though... I had to turn off The Voice while playing Turtles as those stupid songs (if that's what you can call them) drove me up the wall!!

Yeah, I haven't got much love for The Voice. My favorite feature is that it has its own volume. It's a neat thing, but it just doesn't add a lot of value, to me. I feel the same about the Intellivoice.
