I played that all the time back in the early 80s. That along with Crystal Castles, Joust, Reactor, Pac Man, Asteroids and Enduro Racer (and a bunch others such as Star Raiders and Starmaster). You need a good emulator like I have to simulate a proper crappy old CRT if you don't have one:

Hot damn. I've got a Tandy RGB monitor from the 80s (amazing screen for my 8088/80286) and a couple DOS era CRTs (one early 90s, other late 90s), plus old consoles and games. My favorite items are my two Roland synthesizers I hook up for DOS games, the MT-32 and SC-55.
That Commodore monitor is gold.

I cant remember the details but there is some sort of refresh rate issue with the NES (possibly others) that means it only really syncs up with a CRT. The lag of a modern display means certain tricks are not possible.
Edit: lol battlezone. I didnt think the atari had graphics as advanced as that. I only ever saw games like defender and pitfall.

I have for consoles (as of today): Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600 Vader, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis (both models), Sega CD, Sega Saturn, every iteration of the Gameboy, Atari Jaguar, Atari 2800, Coleco Vision, Playstation One, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox original, Nintendo 64, Wii, Wii-U, 3-DS, N-DS, and a few more I probably can't remember.
I collect these and restore them as a hobby.
Edit- Sega Dreamcast
That's one hell of a collection!
I've got a Tandy 1000 TX, 1000 RL, a P200 (with AWE 32, midi and Voodoo 2--hook my rolands up to this), a P3 850, countless motherboards, Atari 2600, SNES, Sega Master System, Neo Geo, and a few other consoles. But my prizes are the CRT monitors. Those are harder and harder to find and old games don't look right on LCD.
