Top 100 2600 games of all time

[AtariLover!]

New and improved top 13:

1. Berzerk

2. Donkey Kong

3. Pitfall 2

4. Pitfall

5. Popeye

6. Crazy climber

7. Air raiders

8. Gravitar

9. F14 Bobcat Flight Simulator

10. Miner 2049er

11. Miner 2049er Vol 2

12. Miniature Golf

13. Donkey Kong Jr.

There is no such game as, "F14 Bobcat Flight Simulator". The closest correct title is, "Tomcat: The F-14 Fighter Simulator". At least you got one word right.

 

Also, as I understand them (from posts #1, 11 & 49), the current rules for voting are approximately:

In one post, one person may cast votes in one or more of the following three format/categories-

5-10 Original commercial games,

3-5 Supercharger games, and/or

3-5 Homebrews/hacks

 

So, AtariLover! voting for 3 additional original games is a waste of effort.

 

Anyone voting again in the same category voids his previous vote(s) in that category.

 

@Damon Plus: it might be helpful if you'd edit your first post to include the full rules.

There are too many rules!

Well, maybe it would be enough to notice that almost everyone else is voting for just 10 original cartridges, and splitting up their votes into separate lists, and that those other, shorter, lists have different categories of games in them. If you don't recognize those "other" titles or know what categories they represent, then just don't vote for them. Simple common sense.

Just curious, why are SuperCharger games separated from the cart games? I can understand homebrew vs. official, but it's not like there were dozens of SC games to pick from in the first place...

2. Warlords

3. Super Breakout

4. Defender II

5. Pitfall 2

6. Subterrania

7. Solaris

8. Starmaster

9. Ms. Pac-man

10. Demon Attack

 

SuperCharger:

1. Frogger, The Official

2. Phasor Patrol

3. Fireball

4. Communist Mutants From Space

5. Dragonstomper

 

Homebrew:

1. Oystron

2. Edtris

3. Warring Worms

I think it is basically because so many fewer folks had/have an SC.

I'd have to say Ladybug is about the best game I've played on the 2600.

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Cool!

 

But what's wrong with the layout of Atari-Times? It looks completely broken in Opera!

That's a pretty cool feature on your site...but Hack'em needs to be available to rank, especially given that there are other hacks that can be listed.

[Gregory DG]

Cool!

Should be fixed. It wasn't working in Safari either (and I wasn't able to test it since I don't have a Mac), but the Opera install helped me figure it out.

 

Oh, and any games you don't see in the list, just let me know and I can add them in about 2 seconds. (Is Hack 'Em a 2600 game?)

Works perfect now!

Jammed and SWOOPS! are missing.

 

Other missing homebrews from the AA store:

2005 Multicart, AStar, Backfire, Climber 5, Crazy Balloon, Crazy Valet, Euchre, FlapPing, Gunfight, INV+, Marble Craze, Mental Kombat, Merlin's Walls, Okie Dokie, Pesco, Poker Squares, Power Off!, Rainbow Invaders, Skeleton+, Solar Plexus, Space Treat Deluxe, Ultra SCSIcide and Vault Assault

 

And Acid Drop is not a homebrew.

[Gregory DG]

Wow, thanks for telling me of those omissions! (Okie Dokie was already there though. )

[Lord Helmet]

 

(Is Hack 'Em a 2600 game?)

 

Yup. It's the best version of Pac-Man available on the 2600. It is a hack of Pesco done by Nukey Shay.

 

Looong thread about it here:
