Atari 5200/8-bit computers. Many of these games are also on C64, but some aren't like Dreadnaught for the 5200. Small catalogue, but some gems there.

Mattel Intellivision. Had a load of exclusives; there was a Gamecube collection in the States -- hell, I'd be satisfied if they just opened up the GC mode for region-free play!

DOS. X-COM/UFO Enemy Unknown -- do I need to say more than that?

Oh it would be sooooo awesome if they were to put that on, especially the classic ATARI titles like Centipede for example.

Unfortunately though i dont see it happening

Now Adventure, Superman and Surround were true classics.

Intellivision was an amazing machine at the time but I can only really remember Space Battle where you warped into different sections to stop enemies attacking your space stations, whatever I did I couldn't save all the space stations one always was destroyed.

Now that you mention it, Yar's Revenge wasn't difficult enough; I do recall being able to play it until I lost interest. Still it would be fun to have a go for a minimum outlay.

Superman, I really have to question your judgement there -- now that game was terrible. Maybe you haven't played it in awhile, so I suggest you review the latest from Angry Video Game Nerd, where he gives that and the NES Superman game a proper (and well-deserved) slating. Adventure and Surround, I'm with you on those.
