Pleiades, Funky Fish and Cat Trax on the 2600

[ManekiNeko]

Cat Trax has been around for a while, but Pleiades and Funky Fish were just recently released to the public. What's your opinion of these three games?
Personally, I think Pleiades was the best of the three, and a quantum leap ahead of the Emerson Arcadia version... it plays much more smoothly. Funky Fish is the worst... surprisingly, the Arcadia version is actually better, with less flickery, more detailed graphics. Cat Trax falls somewhere in the middle, being a decent Pac-Man clone and nearly comparable to its Arcadia counterpart.

I'm just amazed to meet someone else who's played the Arcadia version.

Heh, in that case...

I much prefer the Arcadia's Funky Fish as well. Actually, I also prefer Arcadia's Cat Trax. But that Pleiades, oh do I want to get my hands on that sucker! Very nice - it's a shame these never saw mass production before the bottom fell out (well, maybe not, but I'd have enjoyed them.) It would have been nice to see more on the 2600, too. I bet it could've pulled off a decent Hobo ;)

...I haven't figured out how to get through the first screen in Hobo...
Pleiades on the Arcadia isn't really all that bad...
...I wonder if Jump Bug couldn't have been translated over...
Cat Trax is a decent game on both systems.

I've played it too. If Ward's hammering away at the Arcadia 2001 and clone console for the book taught me nothing, it taught me that there are lot more people who have played this system than you think.

Now I just know better.
