Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I don't know if a thread was posted prior to this one or not. Any of you like to share your top 10 favorite Activision games for the 2600. I always thought they made some of the best games and is my favorite third party for it as well. I watched Metal Jesus' youtube video for this and it prompted me to make a post. Here is my top 10 games. 1. H.E.R.O. 2. Pitfall 2 Lost Caverns 3. River Raid 4. Kaboom 5. Enduro 6. Frostbite 7. Megamania 8. Chopper Command 9. Keystone Kapers 10. Pressure Cooker Honorable Mentions: 1. Pitfall! 2. Robot Tank 3. Seaquest 4. Spider Fighter 5. Ice Hockey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) In no particular order, here are my top ten Activision games: H.E.R.O. Ghostbusters Rampage Robot Tank Kaboom! Pitfall! 2 Kung Fu Master Space Shuttle Commando Starmaster I just showed my kids Ren & Stimpy for the first time just a couple of days ago! I was working a CAD system in an office a long time ago and it was being shown on VH1 a lot. I brought blank tapes and got a lot of the best episodes!

Yes, I'm a Ren & Stimpy fan from way back, but I do have to admit I lost interest after the 2nd season. It just wasn't the same without John K.

Major_Tom_coming_home Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The thing I like about collecting for the VCS is that as a general rule, the good games are pretty much not overly expensive...except for H.E.R.O. Out of what I own: 1. Spider Fighter 2. Keystone Kapers 3. Pitfall 4. Pitfall II 5. Crackpots 6. Pressure Cooker 7. Cosmic Commuter 8. Megamania 9. Stampede 10 River Raid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampede 10 River Raid H.E.R.O. has really skyrocketed recently. I checked on ebay. And only 3 buy it nows prices range from $90-$100!! It is worth owning. Such a fun game and very addicting. River Raid 2, Private Eye, Frostbite, and Cosmic Commuter are fairly pricy. $20-$40 range for them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This list goes to 11... H.E.R.O. Stampede Kaboom River Raid Pitfall! Pitfall 2 Keystone Kapers Seaquest Frostbite Megamania Pressure Cooker Really, that list of games entirely justifies buying a VCS. Activision games were really something special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth owning. Such a fun game and very addicting. River Raid 2, Private Eye, Frostbite, and Cosmic Commuter are fairly pricy. $20-$40 range for them as well. I actually have Pitfall II ($11.50) Frostbite ($3.50) and Cosmic Commuter ($13). The Frostbite cartridge had marker writing on the label but I was able to get the majority of it off without harming the label. I could probably get it all of but my OCD was satisfied with 90%. My experience has been that if you are patient with Ebay and are willing to sometimes bid instead of buy it now, you can get very good deals on Atari games. I think the Price of H.E.R.O. won't stay as high as it is now, but if it does that is why I have a harmony cartridge. My absolute limit on Atari games is $25 and that would only be for the 'extra special' titles like H.E.R.O. . At the moment I can't actually think of any other games I would pay the full $25 for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep checking for auctions. It's definitely the game to get on the 2600, appealing to young and old alike, but anything more than $30 seems excessive. The last auction ended at only $26. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorr Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Demon Attack would definitely be in my top 10 but I don't consider it an original Activision game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Demon Attack would definitely be in my top 10 but I don't consider it an original Activision game. It is weird that Demon Attack is an Imagic game, but is in The Activision Anthology compilation game for the PS2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
