A big thank you to everyone who has been reading along this month. You can find the full list of the Top 30 Vertical Shooters for the Atari 2600 at the Wrap-Up Party . You can also check out the game I forgot!I hope you had as much fun with this as I did!
Here it is! The absolute best vertical shooter for the Atari 2600 . You've waited all month for this day! And be sure to come back tomorrow for the wrap-up and find out what I think about the game I completely forgot!
The penultimate vertical shooter is also one of the most impressive (non-Starpath) games for the system. It's so grand, that it's presence on this list is almost unfair.
Our #3 game will give any gamers reflexes a run for their money. This one is a go-to for me when I'm looking for fast-paced shooter action.
#4 is IN YOUR FACE, literally. I've been fascinated with this game since I was a kid. It is hard as nails, but lots of fun. For a non-traditional shooter, you cannot do better.
The Top 5 starts here with a highly unexpected choice I am sure! I think this top 5 class really does a top notch job of showing off the diversity of strengths that the VCS has at its disposal. Not only are these the Top 5 Vertical Shooters for the console, they are 5 of the best games for it as well!
Things are getting real now! #6 is a major player and sets the tone for the Top 5, kicking off tomorrow!
Graphics and gimmicks are nice, but sometimes a great shooter just needs to be a great shooter. Few games on this list have the raw action and challenge of #7 .
As we inch toward the Top 5, the games just keep getting better and better! #8 blew me away when I first played it and that was only a few years ago! It would have killed me as a kid. People always underestimate what the VCS can do, myself included.
