MaxSpeed Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I just want to know your top favorite games, the ones you enjoy most. I am a Atari 2600 newbie and want to search for those that are the most fun. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Night driver, enduro, river raid's 1 & 2, centipede, circus atari are my Favorites at the moment. If you can score a Kaboom! that is the best game, IMHO, for the VCS. If your collecting don't be picky You'll end up liking something in your collection. I don't have many (92) games but I'm Always finding that I like something new every day. Today was barnstorming But I always have a pile next to my Atari with my fave games. Download an emulator and as many roms as you can, Play them and find out what you would pay good money for (and what you wouldn't ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
