Graphics do not make the game; gameplay does. I enjoy playing several of
the old Atari 2600 games such as Adventure, Haunted House, Yars Revenge,
Megamania, and Dark Caverns M-Network). None of them are graphically great,
but the graphics are serviceable and the games themselves are fun.

Strangely enough, I enjoy the Smurfs game on the Colecovision too.
