jointfilms.com Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Pitfall 2 was by far the best game I ever played on Atari. One of the best I've ever played on any system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I played the hell out of River Raid, so it should be. But Pitfall, Kaboom, Sky Jinks also saw serious playtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeoNinja Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thought I'd bump this. The reason being, I have had this thread open in a browser tab for a few days now. When I've had a moment, I've stopped by, looked over ppls opinions, and often entered said preferred game titles into the wondrous, all knowing video portal known as YouTube. It's been educational, specifically, for someone like myself who has NO real knowledge concerning the 2600 outside of owning one with a handful of Atari titles between the age of 4 - 9ish. The biggest correlation I made was Space Invader clones (sorry if you dislike that term, I'm not a 'clone' term fan myself) and, most interestingly, Activision releases! It was an interesting exercise and much more rewarding than the usual, self-indulgent "what are the best games on 2600 guys?" threads. Next stops are: Top 100 2600 games of all time & 10 Worst 2600 games. As a side note, I'm surprised one of my favourites as a child didn't come up here: Dark Chambers! I adored that game growing up, and often played through from Chambers A - Z in one sitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My favorite is Berzerk As others said, just too many games to pick from but I really love playing Berzerk with my receiver and TV cranked. I just love the sounds, especially that killer low end when the robots shoot at you. Perfect game for a quick play too.. Such a great game all around that I can never get enough of.

keithbk Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I was definitely an Adventure kid back in the day. I will shamelessly admit that Another Adventure is the game I wanted the originally Adventure to be, so I'm going to plug my own game in spite of how self-serving that sounds (it's out of print, so I'm not plugging for sales). Other than that, I am still a Superman fan and I also really love Jammed and Blip Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobracon Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 As a kid Spiderman was the game I played most. But as an adult I love Demon Attack!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth-machine Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Crystal Castles, isometric 3D on the 2600. Oddly I prefer this port to the arcade. Also, Gravitar, a damn good & underrated arcade port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Berzerk, all time favorite 2600 game, and one most people wont mention.....tutankham, loved it in the arcades and love the 2600 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Berzerk is also my personal favorite in my Atari 2600 line up. Ms. Pac Man is right up there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth-machine Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I forgot to mention 2 of the best scrolling space shooters for the 2600. Stargate & Vanguard (most people don't understand that you have to wait to shoot the Gond to build up points). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bixler Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have gone through ~40 games or so in these past few weeks whilst going on an Atari binge. My three personal favorites are Keystone Kapers, Chopper Command, and Berzerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrownd Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Kaboom! was easily my favorite 2600 game by the end of my 2600-playing days. I liked other games more in the early years, but set them all aside over time and stuck with Kaboom! to the end. The speed and sounds were mesmerizing, and the adrenaline rush of completing a fast level by the seat of your pants with a single bucket was something I never got from any other 2600 game. bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang BOOM!

freewheel Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yars' and Warlords, hands down. Like someone else mentioned, we played the heck out of Spider-Man back in the day so I gotta give that an honourable mention. It was the first time I remember actually feeling like more than a blob. The web action was pretty impressive for its time. Needless to say, Bionic Commando was one of my top NES games as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to that . . . ya, yes, absolutely" Although Yars' isn't really in my top 20, it is a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bixler Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 After going through all of the games I have, definitely Kaboom, Missile Command, and Chopper Command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Here is My Top 10, they are all great in My opinion: You should play HERO and Fantastic Voyage more What version of River Raid was that? It looks different on my Atari. Does the PAL version have different level design? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the PAL version have different level design? There are several versions out there, that could be the reason, check the 2600 list on here, I think there are 4 different cart's some by different company's.

Noah98 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Demon Attack and Turmoil are my current favorites. Turmoil is a game that I have only played as an adult and is rapidly becoming one of my all time favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
