I recently purchased a copy of Adventure II from Atari Age, and so far it's been everything I was hoping for: Excellent graphics, well-constructed levels, tons of variations, and a lot of fun. While there are a few new wrinkles, the gameplay is surprisingly faithful to the original. Yes, you still control a square, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Has anybody else had a chance to play this? Look for a full review soon.

Yeah, I heard this was the bomb-diggity. Cant wait to see what you think about it. This may force me to buy a 5200... but probably not.
Conversely, I just picked up Chuck Norris: Missing in Action for the 7800. Can't wait to dig into this old missing prototype to see if it is worth a poo or not.

My copies of Missing in Action and Beef Drop 7800 (pokey) are on the way. Those I am excited about. I hear MIA is a halfway decent little beat em up. Given that I like Beat em ups, I'm thinking it'll be an alright value. I know for a fact (from playing it in emulation during the 7800 High Score club) that Beef Drop is solid.

I think Beef Drop is the best game for the 7800 or one of the top 5 for sure.

Sounds great! We need to support new games for old systems.
