Bad Video and Bad Games

the RF output is truly a mess

As you mentioned on the APF message board, the video looks better in the video than in person. Still, I can't imagine that it looks worse than mine. I should take a video of mine. Oh, it is BAD. I can scarcely see the screen. Which, actually, makes Rocket Patrol more fun!

Like I say in the video, all of the APF games were pretty awful to mediocre. The highlight was "Space Destroyers", and even that's not that impressive all things considered

I can't think of one APF game that I'd seek out to play. As is often said, "Space Destroyers" is the best game for the system, but it's just a clone done quite well (for the time period). The game has plenty of Invaders of the screen, which was rare for the time. Still, the sound bugs me and it seems to start out too easy. The overly exciting introduction is neat, but it doesn't add anything to gameplay (then again, it doesn't really take anything away either).
