Tweety Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have quite some time now an Atari 2600 (Woody), like to think that I have some quality addictive game in my collection. When I got it (many years ago) from my neighbour for free there were several games with it, some bad others reasonable. Here is a list of my current games, and I like to hear from you what to buy next acid drop - asteroids - atlantis - cosmic ark - cosmic creeps dark chambers - demon attack - defender - E.T. - enduro fathom - fire fighter - galaxian - ghost busters - glacier patrol jugle hunt - kung fu superkicks - laser blast - maze craze mega mania - missile command - moon patrol - ms pac-man no escape - pac-man - pitfall 2 - pole position - q*bert raiders of the lost ark - riddle of the sphinx - river raid 1&2 road runner - smurf rescue - solaris - space invaders space war - spider-man - star voyage - superman star wars emipre strikes back - swordquest earth & fire world tron deadly discs - tutankham - vanguard - xenophobe yars revenge Just ordered Fatal Run from ebay, hope I get it next week. I had the original Pitfall, but sold it, also sold my paddle controllers, didn't had any games for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarikid96 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Adventure, Kaboom, Breakout (along with paddles for those 2), Mario Bros, Starmaster, etc. Centipede too of course! Edited April 27, 2017 by Atarikid96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 H.E.R.O. of course !!! How could I forget this one, played it a lot in those days on my ZX Spectrum Adventure, the first adventure type game for a console I think. Back in 1981 my friend had this game on his 2600, had a lot of fun with it. He also had the first sex game, X Man ? Never thought that would become a rare game. Night Driver, was that not also an arcade game? with an black screen and white lines as a road? Think I played such a game in the arcade.

Atarikid96 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I like the siren in x-man that like gets louder until, uh, you win lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 sold my paddle controllers, didn't had any games for it. That was a mistake - Warlords is a common game (so inexpensive to acquire) that's a blast to play with 4 players. Of course I'm now partial to Medieval Mayhem 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhd Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I really like Super Breakout (though that requires the paddle controllers). While not as complex as the computer versions, California Games has some amazing graphics -- and the BMX segment is quite fun. Star Raiders is great -- though it requires the keypad -- or Starmaster for a similar experience with just a joystick. As noted in another thread, Robot Tank is great (unless you prefer Battlezone). You have most of the early arcade ports, but you are missing Berzerk. Personally, I find Defender II/Stargate too difficult to play (since it requires a second joystick), but it is significantly better than the original.

+sramirez2008 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 If your into Pac-Man type games, then Alien and Jawbreaker are both good games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You don't seem to have Conbat, one of the most common titles. Boxing, Berzerk, Centipede/ Millipede, Tennis, Decathlon are also fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Berzerk is a great pick. Get it and zone out for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 My list is growing Good stuff... Berzerk reminds me of something like Robotron. (saw some screenshots) Solar Fox, don't know that title, I"ll investigate that, and of course other titles. Centipede! Yes sure, just had to think of that movie Pixels, they got invaded by that game (liked that movie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PizzaChef Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Fast Food by Telesys Frostbite by Activision and Haunted House by Atari Total gems in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ordered myself Berzerk today , cart only, another game of the wish list. But I also found someone who is selling universal game cart cases with a quality print of Berzerk (or other various titles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm going to a Retro Games expo next week in the Netherlands on a hunt for more games (also those games you guys recommended) My friend said that there is also an River Raid 3, thought that was only a non finished game...

Flojomojo Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Berzerk reminds me of something like Robotron. (saw some screenshots) A bit, yes. Its the caveman ancestor to Robotron. You need to play Adventure, and you might as well try Superman at the same time. They are exploration games and they are unique to the VCS both in style and execution.

+save2600 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Can't go wrong with Midnight Magic, the best pinball game for the VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 KABOOM! Activision Boxing Fast Food Porky's is pretty much the only platformer I like. Fun and challenging. UltraSCSIcide is a fun homebrew if its still available from the AtariAge store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Adventures of Tron is a lot of fun. Stampede is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
