Big Player Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Maze Craze is one of my favorite 2-player 2600 games. We used to play it at parties when I was in junior high. First out of the maze keeps playing. Frankenstein's Monster is a game I had been searching for a long time. Finally got it at PC5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Raiders is great. It is sorta like playing Myst. Takes a lot of time to figure things out. I Played the hell out of Defender even though it "could have been better" and my favorite shitty game: Outer Space. Ahh, those sound effects. The Nostalgia...The Nausea.

Out_of_Gas Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Between Squeeze Box, and Star Ship. Turkeys....yea, but good turkey! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Squeeze Box was pretty good I thought...and reasonably impressive graphics, that's a very big sprite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mental Vortex Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I thought Squeeze Box was pretty decent, too. Did anyone mention Bugs? For a Data Age game I didn't think it was that bad. Plus a third party game that uses paddles were uncommon anyway (Tac Scan is still my favorite for that category). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My Bugs cart from the wild never worked. TacScan was great but tricky 'cause you had to swap around what port you were using for the paddles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mental Vortex Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 TacScan was great but tricky 'cause you had to swap around what port you were using for the paddles... My guess is they did that so you didn't have to take your joystick out of port 1 to play the game, making it less of an inconveinence to play. I think Astroblast is the same way, since you could use either the joystick or paddles to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 -Defender: Graphics aside, I find the gameplay more engaging than Chopper Command. -Encounter at L5: A little more Data Age love. I like overhead shooters and this one has an interesting control scheme. -Space Cavern: My support for this one is heavily influenced by nostalgia. I feel the need to post this one everytime the subject comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My favorite games that everyone else seems to hate are E.T. and Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'll second the Encounter at L-5 vote. I like it too. Solar Storm is another great twitch game by Imagic that gets no love. I like it better than Kaboom! myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister_pal Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Astro War the greatest game ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianwolters Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Let me add: Porkys...I actually found it challenging...and that weird shower is still one of the most bizzare things I've seen in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
