sandmountainslim Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have Seawolf and Climber 5 and its hard to pick a favorite between those two as they are both exceptional games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Backfire Climber 5 Dark Mage Edtris2600 Jammed Marble Craze Okie Dokie Ralph Lauren Polo (repro, really) SCSIcide Seawolf Skeleton Space Treat Deluxe Starfire Tetris 2600 asking me to pick one is impossible. Let's put it this way, I wouldn't own any of these if they were not worth shelling out the $$$ for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Haven't played one yet that I wanted to own. There's a new one someone is working on that I might want to own if it turns out to be pretty good: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=66501 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencrisis Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have Seawolf, Starfire, and Space Treat. Although all are fun and regularly make it into my routine, Starfire is exceptional. I always seem to throw it on whenever I play. I've had dreams about it. I find myself playing other games and screwing up because I'm thinking about getting to it.

Zach Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I'm just counting cartridges here, not the homebrews on my Krokodile Commander disk nor my Stella Gets a New Brain disk. Marble Craze Qb Holiday Qb Star Fire (+ patch) Seawolf Skeleton+ Climber 5 Thrust+ Space Treat Deluxe Holiday Greeting Cart 2003 Holiday Greeting Cart 2004 I especially enjoy Space Treat Deluxe for its simplicity.

Albert Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 And I'm going to count my Kroko cart. I actually need to add this to our database as a homebrew cart, since the Cuttle Cart and Cuttle Cart 2 have found their way into it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uosipa llamxew Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Oystron was the first homebrew game that I fell in love with... and also the reason I started following the homebrew scene. Since then, my favorites are continually shifting. I suggest you try 'em all out in emulation and go from there. MoJo's Modern VCS Have List Homebrews: Climber 5, Jammed, JoustPong, Holiday Greeting Cart 2003, Krokodile Cartridge, Marble Craze, Oystron, Qb, Qb - Christmas Edition, Skeleton+, Space Treat Deluxe, Star Fire, This Planet Sucks, and Thrust+ DC Edition Hacks: Asteroids DC Repros: S.O.S. and Rabbit Transit Cool Hardwares: Foot Pedal Controller, SMS Zapper Adapter, AtariVox, and the Stelladapter ... MoJo's VCS Wishlist Homebrews: Bounce, Cave1k, Chronicles of Ataria, Cubis, Fall Down, Incoming, Man Goes Down, Mindmaster DX, SCSIcide, Seawolf, Space Invaders DX, Splatform, Synthcart, Thrust+ Platinum, Warring Worms, Wolfenstein, and Yahtzee Hacks Hack'Em, Space Invaders DX, and Wolfenstein Repros Holey Moley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I bought a few carts from the AA store over the holiday period. I have to say that I'm most impressed with Holiday Qb, which is a fantastic game. I've also put in a fair bit of time with Marble Craze, which is also lots of fun. Boing 2600 is a very interesting demo, but I just bought that one to show off at the local Amiga group meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Homebrew: Thrust + Platinum (probably my fav but I like them all about equal) Marble Craze This Planet Sucks(my pick for most unsung homebrew, it kicks ass) Qb Holiday 2003 Holiday Repros: Aligator People I also have Sky Jaguar for the CV - Opcode is god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Thrust+ Platnium and a Synthcart. I like them both, but I play Thrust+ Platnium more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 My favorite by FAR is EDTRIS2600. Very playable and a catchy Tetris worthy soundtrack. Well worth the $20 bucks. Hell I would pay $50 if it had a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I'm more of a fan of the older original games but I do have some newer ones: Seawolf AA Holiday Qb (2004) Boing 2600! Testcart Coke Wins repro AA Holiday Greetings (2003) #6 Pac-Invaders from 1998 Seawolf and Qb are challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I have: - Space Treat - Edtris 2600 - SoundX - Jammed - Pressure Gauge (gee-- I wonder why) - Marble Craze - Alfred Challenge - Merlin's Walls - Allia Quest - Mental Kombat If I had to pick just one, I couldn't. Each has their own merit; I think the homebrew community for Atari is amazing! But, the 2 that I reach for most often are Marble Craze and Merlin's Walls. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepesc Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I have Skeleton +, Starfire and Thrust +. Of the three, I like Starfire the best.

uosipa llamxew Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I noticed some listings for other consoles. Here's a few I own in addition to my VCS stuff: Colecovision: Space Invaders Collection and Sky Jaguar NES (repros): Cocorun (translated), Over Horizon, and Summer Carnival '92: Recca -wishlist- I would really like to have a copy of all Opcode's games... especially Magical Tree! Oh, and Kurushimi reminded me... I also have a Star Fire patch! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Interesting to see once again all the homebrews people have. I have over a dozen and I'm too lazy to list them but they're all excellent. I only saw Vault Assualt listed on one or two lists, you guys should check out this reflex tester It actually plays pretty decently on the GBA Activision Anthology because it gets very fast and the slowdown is hardly noticable on the cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
