Ad|ustmg to the new format is actually quite enjoyable. It's so easy on the eyes, not to mention the pleasure of doubling your score every couple of games as you improve. And if you slip? Hey—just obort screen! This too is satisfying.
With the above stipulated, let's take a quick peek at some of the popular cartridges upgraded for the 5200.
Super Breakout is included with the new set-up. The flashy colored bricks look good enough to drink, and when they're hit, they crack up like little Pac-Men screaming in pain.
There are three new variations of the big B.O. In Progressive, the bricks march toward you like crunched Space I nvaders. In Dou ble mode, you must deal with two bouncing balls, and in Cavity the two balls are socked away so that they don't come tearing out until you throw 'em some chin music.
