Favorite Paddle Games

[Syntaxerror999]

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?

 

I started collecting atari games in the 90's (as I was 1 when the atari was popular) from thrift shops and Demons to Diamonds was one of those games I never ran across (then again their once was a pushy lady that told me I couldnt look in any of the baskets until SHE did..so I could of just missed it... I tell you nothing gets someone kicked out of a Goodwill faster than a crying kid going to the manager)

 

Video Olympics and Warlords are my favorite. Ive always liked the simplicity of Pong and Video Olympics is the best version Ive played. (also played sears and Tandy branded versions.. so that might be a poor comparison). Warlords I instantly fell in love with and when I could get people to look past its age and try it they did too.

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.

 

 

LOL! Beat Em and Eat Em? is that the one where....uhh nevermind the description, I know what game you're talking about. Had no idea that was for paddle controllers.

 

Did someone make a hack of that to make it less adult, or was that another adult game?

 

I actually love night driver because it's fun to play at night when you can't sleep. That happens a lot these days.

Are you thinking of Jungle Fever and Rescue Bira Bira?

Yea I played some Video Olympics and Demons to Diamonds earlier today. Those skulls in Demons to Diamonds like to cheat I've only gotten to like the 3rd level so far and then I give up and put in a another game.

 

Video Olympics is awesome too....I listened to one of my Black Sabbath 8-tracks from '78 (Never Say Die!) and then played that game. Atari games that were made in 1978 are trippy. Didn't Night Driver come out that year too? I've seen the arcade version and I have to say it doesn't look as cool as the 2600 version. The sticker on the screen that's supposed to be the car? that's really tacky lol.
