I suppose there is a difference in war types with co. vs. co. and user vs. user. I sure as shit never saw a user war in that era. It was everybody has 2600 and if you have anything else on top of it that rules, but nothing touches the arcade. In fact the first warring anything I remember is from the Genesis ads and then the NeoGeo dog. I suppose the TG-16 bragging about bits prelames it all. It's all super fucking gay in hindsight.
