[edit] Backwards

This article is strange, in that it places the arcade version first and foremost. But the arcade version is a port, and much less important than the original. BTW, Lode Runner was also made into a coin-op. Mirror Vax 04:56, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am very familiar with the Apple II version. I played it for hours on end and remember being shocked to see it in the arcades. :-) The arcade version is a port in name and theme only. The graphics are far superior and it has more variety. But the home version was a landmark acheivement and deserves more coverage. If you want to modify the article to give more credit to the home version, please do so. — Frecklefoot | Talk June 28, 2005 20:35 (UTC)

[edit] Atari 2600

There was never a version of Choplifter for the 2600/VCS. The closest that was produced was the 7800 version. Since the carts had the same shape and size (the 7800 was backward compatible with the 2600), someone probably got confused.

A version of Choplifter *was* announced for the 2600, but no cart was ever actually produced. I've removed the references to the 2600.

Here's a relevant discussion over on AtariAge.

I'm responsible for this. I apparently forgot to sign in first. Sorry. It ended up more extensive than I had set it to do. --Lkseitz 16:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
