TheWriteDude Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Three games that I've been finding myself playing a lot on the FB2, to my surprise: 1. Yar's Revenge I never was that into this game when I was a kid and the original Atari 2600 came out. Admittedly, I found the gameplay complicated and tough to enjoy. But now I find myself addicted to it. Perhaps as an adult I have a greater appreciation for it, and it seems much more enjoyable on a TV with the original (repro) Atari joystick. 2. Aquaventure Again, I wonder if I find this game a lot of fun because I'm playing it on the TV and with the joystick. I've played it on the emulators, and thought it looked good and was okay. But never found myself really enthused about it. Now for me it's one of the most played games on my FB2. 3. Atari Climber Same thing. Joystick + TV makes all the difference. I think this is one of the neatest homebrews, but I never played it much on the emulators. Dang this game is tough! Anybody have their own list of FB2 games you're finding yourself playing a lot?

Lord Helmet Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I really enjoyed playing Adventure 2. It kind ow wets your appetite for the 5200 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Warlords, Breakout, Adventure, Centipede, Millipede and Quadrun (too worried about somehow damaging my cart to actually play it!). Great piece of equipment. Love the fact Adventure still has Warren's name in the hidden field! Bought the battery pack to make mine portable....more to come!

Vic George 2K3 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Just Centipede for me right now. Better than what passed for Centipede on the Atari TV Games unit. Played Arcade Asteroids for a bit. Still the same regardless of graphic adjustments. Also played Yar's Revenge. Getting too good at it now. And also played Millipede and Missle Command. Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel, Yar's Return, and Caverns Of Mars look like they need serious work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm playing the "waiting" game right now. That is, waiting for Rev. C. Looking forward to it! - Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I mostly play Save Mary. That's quite a fun and challenging game. I've also played Secret Quest, Aquaventure, Adventure 2 and Frog Pond (with the Mrs.) quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Quadrun, Centipede, Asteroids Deluxe (despite the bouncing), and Cavern of Mars (Enjoying it on my CC2 and seems to flicker less than on the FB2 for some reason). But, quadrun by far is the one I have been playing the most. I must get 100k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Save Mary and Off the Wall are my favorites. Missle Command and Millipede are great too and look outstanding compared to my heavy sixer. Edited October 24, 2005 by kevin242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maibock Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 We're playing a lot of 2 player games - Maze Craze was a hit last night, though I seem to recall the game keeping score - the FB2 version seems to reset after each maze Also last night completed Adventure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
