iesposta Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was going to suggest "most games" since Atari 2600 was a family entertainment device, but I find it hard to get my brothers or their kids into playing the 2600, except Medieval Mayhem / Warlords. Everyone wanted to play that. Completely random appropriate picture: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wanted to play that. Completely random appropriate picture: image.jpg Nice picture! Is that you playing when you were a kid? I like the motorcycle helmet. I asked this question for that reason. Yes, the 2600 was made for family entertainment, meaning all ages. But all games aren't designed for all ages . Some games were also better than others, and in today's multiplatform world its nice to have some input on 2600 games for kids specifically. Especially, the ones that you think are particularly good. I think its sad the current generation of kids are raised in a gaming world where graphics are more important than fun game play that uses imagination.

adamchevy Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I cleaned my paddle controllers and they work great for some gamed, but kaboom doesn't seem to work very good. I can move the water buckets back and forth but my button doesn't work to get the bombs working? Also, I have an extension for my controllers and it works for most games but not with kaboom. Unless the controller is plugged directly into the console they won't function at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Michael Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pacman (especially if they've not played any other version yet so don't know what it should be like), Space Invaders, Missile Command, Asteroids was one of my all time favorites as a kid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
