Room 34 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Kaboom! Maybe stuck on a desert island I'd actually get good at it! H.E.R.O. One of the most enjoyable and varied action/adventure games. Yars' Revenge I can play it forever and never get tired of it! Honorable Mention: Keystone Kapers, Circus Atari, Stampede, Stargate (another "maybe I'd actually get good at it" title), and, so I could finally, maybe, finish them: Solaris and Pitfall!

Witchfynde Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 jr pac-man..like someone else said its fun and its really hard so i wouldnt get bored with it. Yeah, it's really fast! I can't play the emulator version since I don't have a joystick for my computer, it's hard to round corners with keyboard keys! So I'm going to snag it for my 2600, as I've got a joystick for that, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy Nolen Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Kaboom Polo Montezumas Revenge On an island, I am assuming I got shipwrecked/stranded there.. Go ahead and scroll down to the next post...I am going to go "teacher" now... HOW TO POWER YOUR 2600 using MANGOS; The definition of a battery is two dis-similiar metals in an electrolyte solution. Now, assuming I have a belt buckle and some pocket change, I have two different metals. By inserting them into a piece of fruit (which is acidic, like a mango), I have created a battery. Assuming also that one of these batteries could produce 1.5 volts at maybe 100mA, well, that means I need about a half dozen of these and I can power the 2600. The TV is an entire other issue. Guess I never thought how I would power the TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Guess I never thought how I would power the TV Just build one of those stationary bikes like they did on Gilligan's Island. Then just hook a generator up to it and you're set. I think we would all be in great shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 I'd choose... Beamrider - because it's the best game on the Atari EdTris - can't go wrong with Tetris Backgammon - because I don't want to wait forever on the computer to make its next move in chess.
