Number 1 is Adventure

And number 5 is Astrosmash.

I am calling bullshit on these new screenshot challenges where people are posting screenshots from multiple consoles as a single round. Each round should be a single system and the system should be named. This goes for the 16-bit one as well.

I'm calling bullshit on all these screenshot challenges. Couldn't we condense them into one game, with different rounds for different systems/console generations?

These ARE all from the same system.

Manufactured by Mattel Electronics, it went nationwide in 1980 with a price tag of $299.99. More than 6 million consoles were sold during its 12 year run. There were a total of 125 games released during the initial run; There is a current running project that has recently suggested new games may be offered in the 21st Century. It was the first 16-bit game console, though some people have mistakenly referred to it as a 10-bit system because the CPU's instruction set and game cartridges are 10 bits wide. A 10-bit chunk of data is called a "decle". The registers in the microprocessor, where the mathematical logic is processed, were 16 bits wide. It was the first console to feature a controller with a directional pad that allowed 16 directions.

Its specs are as follows:

General Instrument CP1610 16-bit microprocessor CPU running at 894.886 kHz (i.e., slightly less than 1 MHz)
1352 bytes of RAM:
240 × 8-bit Scratchpad Memory
352 × 16-bit (704 bytes) System Memory
512 × 8-bit Graphics RAM
7168 bytes of ROM:
4096 × 10-bit (5120 bytes) Executive ROM
2048 × 8-bit Graphics ROM
160 pixels wide by 196 pixels high (5×2 TV pixels make one Intellivision pixel)
16 color palette, all of which can be on the screen at once
8 sprites. Hardware supports the following features per-sprite:
Size selection: 8×8 or 8×16
Stretching: Horizontal (1×, 2×) and vertical (1×, 2×, 4× or 8×)
Mirroring: Horizontal and vertical
Collision detection: Sprite to sprite, sprite to background, and sprite to screen border
Priority: Selects whether sprite appears in front of or behind background.
3 channel sound, with 1 noise generator (audio chip: GI AY-3-8910)

3. Could be considered one of the first RTS games.
4. Made by IMAGIC
5. Bomberman got right.

I was thinking that, too. Dragonfire was the only game on IMagic's Wikipedia article that made any sense.

I'll mix it up more. And, include games from Atari all the way through Wii. Each round will be dedicated to one system. So, you may not know the Colecovision games, but you could make the points up on the Dreamcast round for example.

I'll also put a limit on each round, so if a game goes unanswered for a day or two, the points will be forfiet, and the next round will start.

SCORES:
Syd - 5
Bomberman - 2
-bjork- - 1
Bluey - 1
M3GA MAN - 1

Next Round:
Commodore 64:
