sloth-machine Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Jungle Hunt has been getting a lot of play for me lately. Perhaps it's the warm weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurritoBeans Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Atlantis has been getting the most love from me, with Astroblast and Adventures of Tron sitting on the top of the stacks of games waiting to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Human Cannonball. Seriously, that game can be pretty fun but I like games like Worms to begin with that make you guess the angle and trajectory of your shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bixler Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just good old Space Invaders, so many variations... Ever heard of Titan Attacks? Only $0.99 on Steam right now. It's an awesome Space Invaders clone. http://store.steampowered.com/app/203210/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've been wanting to play this really retro game I played a lot in the 70's called "Go Play Outside" but it's incompatible with my current "system" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth-machine Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 "Go Play Outside" is not considered retro yet, it's high def with too much detail. Wait a few centuries for it to be considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckwalla Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Every summertime I revert to my early teenage years when I got my Atari 2600 and small collection of games. That summer I played those games everyday and traded a few with my friend next door....River Raid, Starmaster, Super Breakout, Defender, and Demon Attack - many of my favorite games to this day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eyeball Mural Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Does Pac-Man Championship Edition have a lot of replayability? How are the leaderboards -- hacked to death, or respectable? I'd say the replay value is the same as the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man arcade coin-ops. For me that is high value, for others it's low. Pac-Man CE is short and sweet and always the same, but I enjoy it so much I consider the repetitiveness a benefit, not a detriment. The Roku edition has six versions (not sure how this compares to XBOX), all of which are timed at 10:00 or 5:00. But it plays pretty much like old-school Pac-Man: there are no upgrades or unlockables (except achievement badges). Just eat and run until time expires. It is what it is. I don't know much about the leaderboards because on the Roku edition they are tied to Facebook, and I am not a Facebook user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gredler Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I've been testing a lot of games I've been picking up, and a few really hooked me to play a lot longer than needed for testing Flash Gordon - what? this game is a ton of fun, why haven't I heard more talk about it? Pitfall II - Great music, graphics, and gameplay. Super impressive, and will be coming back for more soon. and the most impressive game I've played, Ikari Warriors. I love the NES version, but this 2600 one I picked up recently off the marketplace is an amazingly impressive programming feat. I also really enjoyed Fathom, but I couldn't figure out the game too well. The control and graphics are awesome, but I don't understand the goal clearly. Ghostbusters took me a minute to understand the goal, but once I figured it out I had a lot of fun trying to capture ghosts Another game I had a bunch of fun with was No Escape, the combination of space invaders and breakout was a blast - I wish it used the paddle controller though. Overall, 2600 has been very enjoyable for me the past few days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalloonFighter Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Been playing Track and Field on the 2600 since I got it yesterday. Been wanting to play it on actual hardware since I started collecting for the 2600. I'm worried I'm going to break my also newly obtained Track and Field controller from playing it so much. As for non-Atari, I've been enjoying Balloon Kid on the Game Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Fanatic365 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 For some reason I just want to bust 40,000 points on Asteroid! Been playing Ms. PAC Man, Pitfall, Joust, Frogger, and Grand Prix a bit, too. Of course, I just got my 2600 yesterday! Lol! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
