Inky Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The one game I am hopelessely addicted to is Buck Rogers. I know some hate this title, but I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Yars Revenge, I have to keep it locked up or I spend way too much time on it (and I suck too) Also I get hooked on Missile Command and Astroids all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shank Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 asteroids, yars' revenge, and space invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MilkMan Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Kaboom or Mario Bros. Oh and one other...one I never would of thought I'd be slamming the Reset Switch over-and-over....Stampede. Repetitive and kinda lame, but geez...I get suckered in ever time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The beauty of classic games is that they are typically short and addictive. I like modern games too, but I wouldn't call them addictive. They just feel different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Dragster, Seaquest, Cakewalk, Warlords with 4 players C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Warlords with 4 players is one of the best games ever made IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Warlords is still one of the best multiplayer games ever made. Tunnel Runner is my favorite though. Very addicting and as the levels go on, incredibly fast. 3D PacMan with no power pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviticus Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Adventures of Tron is one I always come back to. I think as long as the game is hard, simple,fun and has a score they're mostly all addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laird Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Here's my top 10 most addictive, in no particular order. Acid Drop - Its Columns on the 2600! Solaris - So much to explore. Missile Command - One of the greatest games ever made. Defender 2 - This version is pure class. Frogger - Can't believe no ones mentioned this. Warlords - Agree with you about multiplayer. Space Invaders - Legendary status. Ms. Pacman - My fave 2600 version. Galaxian - Fast and furious. California Games - Rival Warlords for best multiplayer title.

Mindfield Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 My favourite addictive games: Montezuma's Revenge (Parker Bros.) -- Big game, lotsa screens, great gameplay and sound. Tunnel Runner (CBS) -- First-person maze on the 2600! Colourful graphics, great gameplay and randomly-generated mazes give this tremendous replay value. H.E.R.O. (Activision) -- Undisputed classic. Pitfall II (Activision) -- Another undisputed classic. Star Raiders (Atari) -- Yeah, it's common as heck, but it's still plenty of fun. Keystone Kapers (Activision) -- I dunno why, this is just a hell of a lot of fun. Crystal Castles (Atari) -- With a joystick this sucks, but play it on a CX22 or CX80 trak ball and it takes on a whole new dimension and actually becomes fun. Kangaroo (Atari) -- Surprisingly good arcade conversion. Track & Field (Atari) -- With the Track & Field controller this game retains a surprising amount of its accuracy and addictiveness of the arcade, which I played to death at the arcades back in the day. Bumper Bash -- One of the few fun rare titles -- or maybe it's just because I love pinball sims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
