Damon Plus Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I bought some Nes games from a shop, and then, I saw that they had some complete Atari 2600 games. I have only money for one game (I swear this is not a joke. The games cost about 6$), and I don´t know which one choose. They are: Jr Pac-Man (It will be probably this, as I´ve heard its good) Joust (Another good candidate to come home) Battlezone (¿?) Kangaroo (?¿) Venture (?¿) There are other ones, but I probably won´t buy them Fire Fighter RealSports Football RealSports Baseball Super Football Any help, please?

Damon Plus Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 BTW, these are all PAL games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams_ale Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'd go with Jr. Pac-man. The game is a little too hard, but it's still a very good game. I also like Battlezone and Super Football. I'd come back for these two titles if you don't already have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 My first pick would be Jr. Pacman (which you got) and second would be Battlezone. Battlezone is actually a really fun game to play... it was one of the better ones I remember playing when I was growing up. Then I'd probably get Joust.. it's a cool game to play when friends come over to hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hee When I first started reading the thread I was just sure there was going to be a Music Machine or an Eli's Ladder listed. Hmmmm Its a tough choice. I'd probably go with Joust. Its fun fun fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hmmmm Its a tough choice.I'd probably go with Joust. Its fun fun fun. Some of the physics in the 2600 version of Joust are... well, let's just say they're "creative." (I realize they had to do it that way due to the limitations of the system.) If you have an NES or 7800, I'd go for the versions of Joust on those systems instead. My choice in this list would definitely be Jr. Pac-Man.

Damon Plus Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Well, I won´t go with Super Football because, while being impressive technically, I don´t like that sport, and the only football game I enjoy is Tecmo Super Bowl because of its simplicity. Battlezone seems to be good also, but I think the other two games appeal more to me. On one side, I liked Balloon Fight for the Nes (similar to Joust IMO), but the Nes version of Joust wasn´t released here. And I could play it sometimes with my sister. On the other side, Jr. Pac-Man seems to be one of the best 2600 games, with 7? different mazes and the options to choose between 1 to 4 ghosts. I think the final choose will be between Joust and Jr. Pac-Man with a coin toss but if anybody else can give his oppinion it could help me to decide. BTW, I have a problem with the sound on my 2600 jr. After turning it on, at about 2 minutes of playing the sound fades out and dissapears. I posted a topic about it but nobody answered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I say joust. The floating eggs add a cool difference from the Arcade, and, it is an excellent two player game (and one player). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIeric Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Well, I won´t go with Super Football because, while being impressive technically, I don´t like that sport, and the only football game I enjoy is Tecmo Super Bowl because of its simplicity:( when i was around 21 i use to gamble playing that game "tecmo bowl" ive made lots of extra money it got to the point people werent gonna play against me if i was the raiders or 49ers, i would tell my opponent ahead of time what play it was every down bo jackson running plays every down, only threw when my friends got pissed and were about to quit playing. my bread and butter play with the 49ers was a pass play, i could practically get away with the same pass play every down. wide receiver i think jerry rice on the bottom of the screen would go out about 10/15 yards down the field then cut straight up to the middle of the screen, pure timing pure fun, pure memories. i would be laughing so hard i was crying, i had to take breaks from laughing so hard, let alone my friends hated me for playing that way. get battlezone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin242 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 It's defit between Jr. Pac Man and Joust, but since Ms. Pac Man (IMO) is the overall best pac man game for the 2600, I'd go with Joust. Eventually you will probably get both games anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
