I'm surprised you didn't post this. Berzerk and WoW were not that far off from looks. But it was the sound effects and lack of speech that was the killer differences. Both and Sinistar were my old time favorites and Sinistar looks the worst IMO.

I was sticking with officially released titles. Sinistar might have looked a little better if they had finished it, but yeah, there was no way it would have come close to the original graphics or sound.

This was the pinnacle. Man they almost nailed Frogger. Almost.

We should post the BEST 2600 game pics, like PITFALL no other system compares to that or Atlantis both perfect for the 2600.
