GameGirl420 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I got a bunch of Paddle games lately... Casino, Video Olympics, Circus Atari, Breakout, Super Breakout, etc... Out of all of them I'm really intrigued by Demons to Diamonds lately. Also made me remember how much I loved playing Night Driver. Gotta love them paddle controllers, so much fun. What's your fave paddle game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Super Breakout and Kaboom! for sure! Indy 500 for some 360˙ action though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 off the top of my head kaboom and circus atari are my 2 favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstari Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I really like the homebrew game "Bell Hopper". It can use a joystick or a paddle but I think it is more fun with a paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrThielegood Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I remember coming to Demons to Diamonds later in the 2600 era, but once I played it I could not put the paddle down. It was, and still is, a 2600 favorite. Kaboom is a very worthy second place for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Kaboom, Demons to Diamonds, Super Breakout, and Circus Atari were all paddle games I had as a kid and are still favs of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowCoder Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Kaboom, Circus Atari, and Warlords are my favorites. Warlords makes for some excellent 4-player action! You are talking about paddle games for video game systems, right? Edited December 27, 2011 by SlowCoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 My favorite paddle games for the 2600 are Kaboom!, Circus Atari, Super Breakout, Night Driver, and Warlords (in that order). I also enjoy Video Olympics, Canyon Bomber and Casino on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_envy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Medieval Mayhem with multi-players and Kaboom for individual play as favorites. Tac-Scan is a little known paddle game that I also enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Astroblast can be played with either joystick or paddles, but it's much better with the paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Circus Atari is not only my favorite paddle game, its my favorite 2600 game period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Astroblast can be played with either joystick or paddles, but it's much better with the paddles. Really? I didn't know that, I'll have to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yea I also got Warlords lately too. Awesome game....makes me wonder if you can actually play 4 players on that one? At first looking at the cover art I thought it might be like Adventure but it's like a challenging version of Breakout. Might try Casino again tonight before bedtime. Since they made wireless joysticks I wonder if someone made wireless paddles too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Definitely Kaboom and Super Breakout. Warlords if you can get a group together. And I grew up liking Eggomania, if you don't mind something just a hair off-the-wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Kaboom! and Astroblast would be my top 2. Some others I really liked were: Super Breakout Circus Atari Encounter at L-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Guess Im with the majority Circus Atari, Kaboom are top 2 and the rest of them others said I enjoy when I get in a paddle mood Never played Tac Scan will have to put it onthe ol Harmony cart and try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Circus Atari is awesome and I have to say also kinda funny. When one of them misses and hits the floor...ouch LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first looking at the cover art I thought it might be like Adventure but it's like a challenging version of Breakout. Thought I've not done it myself yet, based on what I've heard, and how the game select settings go, it's a 1-4 player game. Just need to plug in a 2nd set of paddles. Really fun when you can play against people. And yes, it's like a breakout or castle defense type game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I recently scored a Beat em & eat em, which is like a easy Kaboom! Great game. I also like Party Mix and GI joe 2 player. Of course being an avid Backgammon player, I love that game too. And all the games the others mentioned.
