Prelude's rating:

7.3

Zaxxon - Colecovision

Based on the arcade hit Zaxxon.

To better appreciate the power of the Colecovision compared to other systems at the time, only this version was able to reproduce the faux 3D look of the original arcade. The Intellivison and Atari 2600 ports switched to head-on scrolling with horrible shading that made it very difficult to spot raised platforms.

6.3

Space Panic - Colecovision

Based on the arcade hit Space Panic.

At a time when horrible ports like Pac-Man for Atari 2600 were being released, this port was hailed to be even better than the original arcade.
