I am morbidly curious about the Atari 2600 version of double dragon. I own the 7800 version which I don’t actually think is as bad as people say. How much of a step down is the 2600 playability wise?

Back in the 80's I never owned a NES. I owned a 7800 and then a SMS. The 7800 was first because I foolishly believed my friend that the NES was more expensive and the only plus it had was better graphics. I came to find this was incorrect.

Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions for wii games to play with a non gamer spouse? We have Wii Sports and house of the dead 2 and 3. I was thinking Mario Kart might be good. Thanks in advance!
