Gold wings all day long

Another System 80 I miss time to time, siren never gets old. Cool layout.
Looking over the bottom half of the list I see a few oddities.
DE Playboy rated 353? That is criminal, its a far better game than Hook which is rated 275 and Mr and Mrs Pacman rated 343. I could NOT WAIT to disassemble Pacman to restore a Flash Gordon. I'm playing the game going WTF, there is nothing to hit and it has the worse "video mode" ever. I would vote it dead last for all the games I have played.
Gold Wings at 329? Also better than Hook or Pacman, though I'd call it close on Hook.
Checkpoint at 313 but Bally Trek at 305? I have owned two Bally Trek's, Checkpoint beats the title like a rented mule. DMD game with speech, ramp, shaker, choice of soundtrack and autolaunch. Trek might as well been an EM for what it brings to the table, matter of fact might have been better as an EM with chimes instead of those Gawdawful early Bally tones.
Space Invaders at 256? Great art, cool sound effects.. and shallow as a cookie sheet. Boring! I rolled it on the first day it was here and lost all interest shortly after.
