Thanks for choosing that particular game, I'm a big fan of puzzle games and will have to pick that one up. 

Here's the next one:

Right on the money.

Right on the money.

For what system? I was thinking that but the Atari 2600 Demon Attack doesn't look like that.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

For what system?

Intellivision

Holy crap the 2600 sucks ass compared to that.

Now you see how low I had to lower my standards to in order to beat your highscore. j/k    (still waiting for you to set the bar again BTW)

Seriously though going from the INTV back to the 2600 version is a slap to the face for sure, those pics are actually of the boss battle that you fight after you defeat a few waves of enemies, here's a pic of the levels between boss fights:


sorry for the tangent guys, back to the screen game....

ty for the pic , i didn't realize that the 2600 was so diffrent to the INTV (even thought i have both of them!)

imagic was a strange company

they were brilliant with their work on the VCS and INTV, in fact they made new versions of Atlantis and Demon Attack for the system that were so different, they really deserved to be named differently.

demon attack had top notch graphics for the VCS, the details in the demons could not be replicated on the INTV, however, the VCS couldnt handle the number of sprites and colors on the INTV version.   The demon base was awe inspiring as for this second grader of the 80s.

however Imagic decided to take the opposite approach for porting their games to the Atari computer line, even though the 8-bit could easily handle improved versions of the intellivision games, they made near direct ports (graphics and all) of the VCS games.  It is a truly sad effort

I have both and didnt realize teh difference either. Then again I am not sure if I have played the INTV version. I wonder what the O2 version looks like.

[Tynstar]

Here is the O2 Demon Attack.

i havent played the 0^2 version, but from reviews i read, it is one of the better games on the system (not saying much).  gameplay looks identical to the VCS version

I've played the Vic version as well, it seems a bit slower than the 2600 one, the C64 version sure looks nice, the mothership is a bit strange looking though.
