Decided to play an Intellivsion exclusive recommended by Atari Age Forum Post and yeah i like this ok, its like space invaders kinda but its sideways... and rather than rolling back and forth and shooting at you, they are just doing a beeline for your Corn ("cities", in terms of space invaders)

So giving it an extra star for these thing., the fact it's an Intellivision exclusive, and that it beats most action oriented shooting games (by being so much faster) similar to it on the 2600 make it seem well deserved, however it does get a bit repetitive.
