I went with Keystone Kapers. It was a tough decision.

I edited the poll and added River Raid, Dig Dug, and Ms.Pac Man. Also, there is an option at the bottom to cancel your vote, so you should be able to re-vote for River Raid now.

Thank you! There are a lot of hard titles to choose from.

It's hard to choose. I voted Kangaroo because it is an excellent arcade port. Not that others on the list are not but Kangaroo isn't as common among other consoles.

I wonder why it was never ported beyond the 5200?

If you are referring to Kangaroo, it was also ported to the 2600 but I do not believe it was ported to any other consoles. This game would have looked great on the 7800, Colecovision, or Intellivision.

I alway played the arcade version of Kangaroo so I had to have the 5200 version. I think the 2600 version plays nice but lacks the graphics of the 5200.
I agree TrekMD it would have been nice to see on those 3 systems!

The 2600 version definitely has the game play. I think this is something that is true of many of the arcade ports for the 2600. It just lacked on the visuals but, in reality, the visuals are pretty good even if simplified.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I included a couple home brews in the poll, Adventure II and Boulder Dash. I have neither, but will most likely pick up a copy of 5200 Boulder dash sometime soon. I have heard only good things about Adventure II.

I did notice and both are very good games, in fact.
