BydoEmpire Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'd put Star Raiders up there. I playing it a lot last week and it's held up really well. Maybe Necromancer, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Qix among the best? What? It's terrible compared to the 5200 version. I actually read that opinion here first, then compared them myself and was surprised how bad it is. I've been on a major buying spree lately. I've added to my collection: Space Invaders (I got the one different from the 5200, and I like it!) Galaxian Jumpman Jr. River Raid Pengo (again, not as good as the 5200) Dig Dug And I've got coming: Pole Position Millipede Moon Patrol Food Fight Kaboom But my one, single, favorite Atari computer game is without question Lode Runner.

Wrathchild Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Cartridge titles that I'd more regular play over others: Star Raiders Rescue on Fractalus Pole Position Moon Patrol Miner 2049er Donkey Kong Jungle Hunt Ballblazer Hardball (better than a 15 minute load from tape!) and not mentioned yet - Embargo Quite fond of Decathlon and Track & Field too. Synapse titles would have been good but we tended to get cassette release here in the UK. Others from the 'not in the day' school: Gauntlet Koronis Rift The Eidolon (of course those three are a bit biased ) Regards, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definately seems to be a consensus here Also, these should be mentioned: Archon Asteroids Journey to the Planets Wizard of Wor DK Jr Gateway to Apshai Edited September 17, 2007 by Lord Thag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 One title I'd not seen mentioned, but that has always been near my 8-bit since I got it a few years ago: Zenji, a puzzle/action game from Activision where you have to manipulate a maze to make all of the segments connected while being chased. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 OK for me... (random order too) Ms. Pacman Crossfire (I've sold this Cart in 1990... why did I do that?!?!?!?!!) Barnyard Blaster (hehe you've hit Gramps... no bonus...) Missile Command Millipede Star Raiders II Qix But I have to say: I'm not a Cart lover... I have all these games as working file (except for the barnyard blaster... that does not run on my real a8... that's a shame... who has a working file version that runs on REAL equipment?) And about Qix: ok that a8 port is not as good as the 5200, but man... what a cool game. Greetz. Marius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 OK, just got three new cart games - Food Fight, Millipede and Moon Patrol. This is weird. Moon Patrol, like some games, seems just like the 5200 version. Yet there are other games that differ, like Qix and Pengo, and are better on the 5200. Then there's Food Fight. Wow, the 7800 version is so much better. Is that common knowledge? I know the XE and 7800 were of the same time, roughly, but the XE is older tech... right?
