Pleasantly surprised by Chopper Command, I will definitely putting in some time on that one.
Get river raid next. River raid is absolutely fantastic and goes well with chopper command.

Had both of those as a kid. Chopper Command was always one of my faves.
Awesome.
Man, I loved 70's and 80's box art.
You should look up this book! 
I've wanted that one and there was a good one for the NES too. I was just thinking about how I miss the posters we used to get in boxes and magazines.
Chopper command a better Defender than what Atari made.
i never played a atari game but i always wanted to get into the console a bit, any recommendations?
Star Raiders and Berserk are pretty good. Star Raiders was way ahead of it's time.
Warlords!
Can't go wrong with Activision titles, otherwise enjoy the oddness. There's a lot to enjoy 🙂
River raid for sure
As a kid i enjoyed Phoenix a lot
Super Brakeout. But only if you can get the paddle controllers.
