Atari 5200 version

Terrific arcade conversion of the classic!

The Good
The game plays fast and smooth and really captures the essence of the arcade original. The music is amazing and the supplemental sound effects, like those in the bonus stage, are well done.

The Bad
The colors are a little washed out. The 5200 controller can be a little challenging but with a little practice, it becomes second nature.

The Bottom Line
A little bit of Tempest, a little bit of Galaxian and a whole lot of awesome. If you love the arcade version, you'll like this.
