Atariboy Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 So to answer the question, I guess Word Zapper is the worst title I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I always liked Activision's Boxing, but others have said it was terrible. That is my fav game, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencrisis Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I always liked Activision's Boxing, but others have said it was terrible. That is my fav game, Boxing is a real favorite of mine, especially two-player. I haven't really seen too many bad comments about this game, I think a lot of people like it.

atari_aaron Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I like Airlock too. My brother and I would take turns and time each other. It was fun because it was the one of the few games that both he and I were equals. We had a bunch of games, but is one of the few I remembered by name before I got into collecting two years ago.

jerseystyle Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Without a doubt, Bobby is Going Home. The best game to play while naked. I've been playing that game for 17 years now. I know it's horrible, but in a truly sublime way. No game has made as little sense as that one (especially if you read the engrish instructions) . . . poetry.

Atari-Jess Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Night Driver. I love that game but don't have a reason why. (The car is your hood ornament I tell myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 A lot of people seem to hate 2600 Kangaroo, but I love it. I guess I just love punching monkeys in any version of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Donkey Kong, Defender, Pac-man, Lock n chase, word zapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 My mind boggles at the thought that anyone enjoys Word Zapper. I can't imagine playing it for more than 5 minutes without thinking suicidal thoughts. But then, that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old dentist had a cabinet with that set on free in his game room...I always set the high score...memories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencrisis Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I like Kangaroo too, but primarily because it was the first cart I got when I got back into 2600 this past summer. I've never heard anyone say anything good about Pong Sports, but my wife and I love playing different variations for 15 minutes or so every now and then. People don't seem to like Defender -- I can't understand why, as it was a HUGE hit around the neighborhood when I was a kid. I play it now as often as possible (of course, I don't have Defender II, my opinion might be different if I had it). Everyone, and me too, seems to prefer Super Breakout over Breakout. While SB has much more playability, I like Breakout because it seems faster and more challenging to me. But to be honest, I'll take SB game 7 (progressive) over old Breakout any day.

Lord Helmet Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 The big 3: Pac-Man, Defender, and Donkey Kong...played the hell out of all of these...even though they sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaCharlie Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I always liked Defender, even though every time you fired off a round, your ship disappeared. Also loved Donkey Kong, Jr., even though the thing was nearly impossible to control. I did not just wader off that platform! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hey Atariboy: I guess I forgot to mention Miniature Golf, too. I even have patterns for a few of the holes... Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 i must be one of the early champions of crap, because i really like games like entombed, et, raiders, inflitrate and many others mentioned here. and though i do like airlock myself, i conceed that the game sucks, and i only like it because it was one of the first platform type games i played and i like the submarine theme. anyone who likes raftrider needs to have their eyes gouged out and hands cut off since they obviously arent putting them to good use. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Pele Soccer; Even as a kid I used it as an example of how a game could be stunning unrealistic (guys running in lockstep triangular formation??) but still a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Rose Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 What?! That wasn't the hood ornament?! =) I loved Tutankhamen...bad graphics (even for the 2600), weird limitations on shooting, but it was exciting and challenging to play...you had to manipulate the lightning-fast monsters into getting stuck so you could safely shoot or avoid them. Then *zap* another baddie would fly out of a "nest" and get you anyway. Tutankhamen also reminded me of a much better (I'm sure) Atari 400/800 game a neighbor had, the name of which is just out of reach...hrm.

Tempest Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I actually get a kick out of Tutankham. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Rose Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Yes! That's right, "Tutankham" - no "en" - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I always liked Atari baseball - When you set the difficulty settings to "A" for both you and vs the computer, and played with 3 fielders, it was a pretty fun game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I love Entombed, except that it gets too difficult way too quickly. Fun game though. Still would love to hack the game so the difficulty doesn't ramp at 20. I like Infiltrate and Tutankham (pronounced "2 tank 'em") Freeway is another game I liked. It isn't great, but it was one everyone in my family could play. I also played a lot of Home Run and the original Atari Football. Though they are more like playing stickball and backyard football. Not close to the real game but still fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Been thinking about this for a while and there are a few baddies which i quite often play and don't know why. 3D Tic Tac Toe - Confusing but quite compelling. Homerun - Cack graphics but strangely fun. Double Dragon - Everyone slags this off but its one of my fave games! Fast Food - Stupid game, even more stupid cos i play it! Pac Kong - Its so awful but i keep playing it - Help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Pac Kong - Its so awful but i keep playing it - Help!!!! /me sneakily steals your pac kong and rewires it with electroshock therapy so every time you play it, it shoots a tazer barb into your ballz, then replaces it in your collection without you knowing. You'll thank me later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Porkys is a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I still love DK Jr., and I get a sort of perverse pleasure from Zaxxon. And what's this about Tutankahm being a bad game? Coulda fooled me. I think its a GREAT game, and therefore does not need be included on this list (Its a good game I still play, and not a bad game I play anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
