John Stamos Mullet Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 2600: Frostbite Stargate Pitfall II the Lost Caverns 7800: Joust Commando Food Fight I left out homebrews and recent releases because some of them aren't playable on 2600+ yet, or are no longer available to buy and don't work with flashcarts on 2600+ yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Pitfall II work with the 2600+? I'd recommend... 2600: Beamrider Phoenix Enduro 7800: Food Fight Centipede (for cooperative play) One-on-One (for nostalgia reasons) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never played much of it back in the day. But I was really enjoying playing now! There are so many games for the 2600 that I didn’t appreciate as much as I do now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With age comes a new appreciation for things we overlooked during our youth. What I like about playing Dig Dug is it allows me to mentally relax and unwind at the end of a long day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that it's all over with, and everything is in the past, and video games are totally different these days, It's nice to be able to go back to the 7800 and 2600 games without having to worry about whether the graphics are bad or not and just enjoy them for what they are.

Spoiler Original XBOX was the first i ever played and the Nintendo DS was the first i ever owned. Not too shy about it tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
