maximebeauvais Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 hummmm, very hard decision....... 1) Pitfall 2) Raider of the last ark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 This is a hard one, I would say Yars revenge and Adventure. It is a toss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 A difficult decision indeed. I'd have to go with either Adventure, H.E.R.O., or possibly This Planet Sucks, I've always been a big fan of Lander Games. There are too many others to list.

utamav91 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Double Dunk, Pole Position and Pete Rose Baseball because the graphics are so good and they really stretched the 2600 to its apparent limits. Those were the two best sports games, and Pole Position is very faithful to the arcade (although there are some on this board that say Enduro is the best racing game). PRB is one of the few 2600 games that is actually NES-quality with the 9 different TV-style angles scoreboard and the "runner-position" indicator like on RBI baseball, Baseball Stars and every video baseball since...and Double Dunk is just plain fun...I love the dunking animation.

MoonlightKnight Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I'm going to have to go with Dragonfire here. I got this game one year for my birthday (I still have the same copy!) and it has been my favorite ever since. I just love running out of that little box and darting back and forth trying to pick up all those treasures while avoiding the dreaded dragonfire! The white dragon is a fiend and super-fast!

Elvis8Atari Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Kaboom Jr, Pac-Man Deamon Attack are my 3 favorites right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagMax667 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Adventure has always been my favorite 2600 game, but Raiders of the Lost Ark, Yars' Revenge, and Solaris are all tied for second. I still can't believe they pulled off Solaris on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjewell Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 BMX airmasters is one of my favorite games. It's just awesome. Of course I think combat is about as good as 2 player action can get. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run out, you can try shooting square plastic skeets with "Firefly" labels on them. My fav's would be Adventure and Yar's Revenge.

Cybergoth Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Hi there! Very good selections so far (H.E.R.O., Starmaster, etc.), but Dig Dug beats 'em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 This is hard because it changes every time, at least for me, because there were so many good ones. I'd say Pitfall 2, Robot Tank, Phoenix, Reactor and Starmaster are my faves. The problem is that there are just too many good titles. If space permitted I'd add Crystal Castles, Yar's Revenge, Frogger, Chopper Command and Stargate (Defender 2). I bet if we put our minds to it we could create a pool of the most agreed upon best games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if we put our minds to it we could create a pool of the most agreed upon best games. That would be a big pool. There are so many good games. And it is too hard to say just one game is the best. But for today I'll say HERO. Or Double Dunk. Or Pressure Cooker. Okay, I'll stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Piper Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 How in the world can I answer this question?!?Well, i narrowed it down to 3....2 are activision titles, but I am not a huge activisioin freak or anything,in fact Atari made many of the greatest Atari games. MILLIPEDE, because of the non-stop action,MEGAMANIA,because of the non-stop action,and PRESSURE COOKER,because of the non-stop action.LOL.

Marco(2) Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 4 player Warlords - simply the best classic multi-player game out there! Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doron Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 yes the Thrust game is great, but I would need Stargate first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Yes Warlords. But Warlords is only good if you have more than one player. My favorite one player game is DEFINITELY MS. PACMAN. Other than that I think Demon Attack is also it, since I seem to always find myself playing a quick round of it.. steerable missile variation of course.

KAZ Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 What, no Ice Hockey? I don't even like Hockey games even on the highest end system, and I actually don't like hockey much in real life either. But dam is the 2600 Ice Hockey fun..... It is like a glorified PONG, except 100 times more interesting (with all those bank shots). I played Gravitar for the first time on my emulator a couple weeks ago, and god dam that was fun. The ship drifts towards the bottom of the screen, and you have to fight to keep it in the air. I know of no video game out there today that has that type of play dynamics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
