Front Line
COMING UNDER FIRE
» ATARI 2600 » 1984 » COLECO When I look at the wealth of home versions of arcade classics available today, many of which are practically indistinguishable from the originals, I can’t help but feel that we’ve been spoiled just a little. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not wishing away the work of companies like Hamster, M2 and Digital Eclipse – Ijust get a little sad when contemporary home conversions of games are dismissed by players. Case in point, I recently read a fairly scathing comment about Front Line for the Atari 2600, which dismissed it as a missed opportunity relative to the quality of the arcade original.
