Micheloni2600 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi I just wanted to post a thread and see what people are into, whether you were from the glorious times of the 80's when the Atari was hot or if you're just getting into it now.

BassGuitari Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It depends on the day! There's too many 2600 games I like. I'll riff off some of the ones I always come back to:Defender Defender IIAlienStar Ship Air-Sea Battle Breakout Pac-Man (yes, Pac-Man) River Raid River Raid II Radar Lock HERO Space Invaders Adventure Starmaster Video Olympics XenophobeGalaxian BTW I see you're in Stevens Point; my wife went to UWSP. (We're both from Wausau.) I suppose Belt's is closed for the year now, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micheloni2600 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yeah shes closed up alright, but that's okay it gives you a chance to stay inside with a cup of coffee next to the woodgrain machine and to get some high scores! I like your list, I've been lookin for River Raid II for some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I was born during the time Atari was the big thing (Summer 1981). I wish I would have grown up during the late 70's/early 80's to experience it more hand. Anyways my top ten list of Atari 2600 games follows as this. And choosing a top ten list for this system is difficult to narrow down. So here it goes. 10. Solar Fox 9. GORF 8. Berserk 7. Adventure 6. Yars' Revenge 5. Enduro 4. Space Invaders 3. Missle Command 2. Pitfall 2 1. H.E.R.O. Honorable Mentions: Pitfall Pressure Cooker Venture Kaboom! Vanguard Frogger Q*Bert Combat River Raid Atlantis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your list, I've been lookin for River Raid II for some time! Aw, we're swinging through Point on the way to the 'Sau for Thanksgiving...though it's probably gonna be too cold for ice cream anyway. Definitely gonna stop by Game Generations though (the ones in Wausau suck). You're gonna hate me, but...I actually found a copy of River Raid II (AND Subterranea, at the same time!) at the Goodwill in Stevens Point a few years ago. I've gotten a ton of great stuff there over the years but it's really dried up now. Luckily River Raid II's not that hard to get online though. You should be able to get a decent loose copy for $15-20. Have you ever played it before, in emulation or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be working Black Friday and the weekend to come. Hope to see you there, and I had played river raid ii, but only on an activison anthology title for ps2 with all the activision atari classics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
