Thanks for the reviews.  These games seemed better than most Arcadia games.  Do you think you've got through all the dreck, or do you think there's more out there?

Route 16 was originally an arcade game, and also received a Famicom port known as Route 16 Turbo by Sunsoft -- just as good as this Arcadia version sounds

I was going to say that perhaps instead of Colecovision for Venture in 1982 you could have put Exidy 1981 but then I remembered that most people would associate it with the colecovion.  In the Route 16 review.

good to see some Arcadia reviews. Route 16 looked really good. I don't think I'll ever pick up one of these consoles but there definitely seems to be a few standout titles.

Nice reviews. Route 16 sounds a lot like Bank Heist for the 2600, also released in 1983.

Good reviews.  I'm always very curious about these more obscure systems!  They really get my imagination going about how differently things could have worked out differently had these systems taken off....

Just curious -- have you ever considered picking up an APF M1000/MP1000 or a VideoBrain?

Personally I'd only pick up an obscure system if there was multi-cart available as tracking down games for those particular sytems would be difficult at best.

Agreed, I use a lot of multicarts, including for the Arcadia.
