bigbroobs Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 All you guys talk about all the games you have and i was just wondering what one you think is the most fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 At the moment I've got my head stuck in Ginfight but usually its Video Olympics or Combat - the 2 simplest games on the system yet 2 of the most compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain King Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Hmm... Thats a tough one. I usually go through stints. I'll be really in the mood to play a particular game and play it for a month or so and then move on to another game. I'm the same way with food an music too.

Yeah, its all about the groove. Right now I'm in a Pete Rose Baseball groove, I play about 3 games a day. I pepper that with Jungle Hunt and Venture, among others.

King Atari Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I also get into "grooves". However, the game that constantly gets played (I guess I have the permanent groove for it) is definitely Xenophobe (you saw that one a mile away, didn't you?). Dark Chambers is another that gets played constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Duke Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Asteroids, all the way... Currently got a 43400 score, which is probably a sad score to you guys, but I just started keeping a score sheet, and I havent got around to beating that last score yet. I just cant get really into alot of the 2600 games like Asteroids, I love to collect them but when it comes down to it, I cant play a 2600 game for many hours straight, (unless its Asteroids ) But I do enjoy playing them and hacking them and collecting them.

pitfallaimee Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I enjoy a good round of Turmoil or Jungle Hunt at least once a day, and sometimes I throw Pitfall 2 or River Raid into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeal Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 For me, it's usually Ms Pac-Man, Pitfall II, Masters of the Universe (was a big He-Man fan back in the day, although, I love the Intellivision version better), and Asteroids.

MagMax667 Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 The game I play the most is Super Breakout. It's a simple concept. You control a paddle and bounce a ball off it into some bricks. I'm addicted to Breakout. It's a very fun game. But eventually Breakout got too easy for me. So I went out and got Super Breakout which is even better. I also play Asteroids, Galaxian, Adventure, and Raiders of the Lost Ark a lot also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 My most played classic game isn't on an Atari, sorry. It's Solar Quest on the Vectrex. I keep a Vectrex in my office for emergency game breaks. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+johnnywc Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 For me, a quick game of Dodge-em (both switches on 'A') is always a great challenge (537 is my high score). I always have a favorite game of the week, this week it's Mr. Do's Castle (which is quite fun I might add...). Of course, a game of Pete Rose Baseball is never too far away... Stan - have you beaten the computer yet? I'd love to play that game (and Double Dunk) against a human opponent sometime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Frostbite is getting some pretty heavy treatment at the moment - I'm desperately trying to beat the 1 million mark - so far I'm upto just over 890,000 (and thats still a million off twin Galaxies recorded high score!!!!)

StanJr Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Yes, JohnnyWC, I am finally beating the computer on Pete Rose. I just played an amazing game winning 16-7. Other victories have been closer, this was my first blowout. I've been playing this game heavily for the past week. I too want to play it against a human some day. Its almost impossible to get a triple against the computer. Finally a winner! Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree with you that the Intellivision version of Masters of the Universe is much better On topic, I have been playing Jr. Pac-Man most but I'm trading it to StanJr. I guess I will have to find a new favorite, although that won't be too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I can't believe I typed Ginfight! Sounds a pretty slow game to me Masters of the Universe?? Is that how creep boy got your attention?... "Hi aimee, I'm Adam, prince of Eternia - fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword...etc.."

ATARIPITBULL Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Hey livinabin, are you talking about playing gunfight while drinking Gin, if so that sounds like fun to me, just ad some Orange juice to mine please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmeroid Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I have had a bit of a thing for Demons to Diamonds & Frostbite for the last few months. Can't stop playing these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 As child I have often play: Dragonfire, Asterix, Bobby geht nach Hause, Keystone Kapers, Indy 500, Frogger, Q*bert. And many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 i would gereralise .... when i was a kid, it was always the most advanced one that fascinated me ... so from the vcs2600 i immediately jumped to the c64 and never played consoles again..... i was always more into arcades. beeing french, i could - for a very long time - use 20 centimes coins (about 2-3 cents) instead of the regular 1 Mark coins (1/2 dollar). so it was a cheap fun for me .... i just had to change the locations where i play more often, not be suspected. there's another trick i remember, but let's make a separate post in the arcade section: dirty tricks on arcades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 It depends if I am solo or not. if I am then I like Adventure and Stampeed and Kaboom. 2 player though you can not beat Armor ambush or realsports football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I always seem to go back to pitfall or keystone kappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I play a lot of Stargate/Defender II. On the 7800 I ALWAYS play Xevious. I actually like the 78 Xevious better than the arcade game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utamav91 Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 On the 2600 emulator, it's Pete Rose baseball. On the 2600 real thing, it's surround or double dunk or pole position. On the 7800, it's the DrJ-Larry Bird One-on-One game. quote: Originally posted by Inky: I play a lot of Stargate/Defender II. On the 7800 I ALWAYS play Xevious.
