Ze_ro Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Since you all seem to have about 300 Atari games sitting there, I have to assume that you don't play them all as much as you want. I mean, even if you played each one for an hour straight, it would still take weeks to play them all (assuming you can find 16 hours a day to spend playing video games). Given this, which games do you have that you regret not playing more? Personally, I'm surprised how little I play Crystal Castles. It's a great game, and everyone raves about it... but I just never end up playing it for some reason! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I wish I had more time to play Secret Quest and I still need to get a different TV to play Solaris on. Those are two of the best VCS games and I just don't get to play them as much as I would like. Missing out, Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Sometimes I feel bad that I have so many games I haven't played. But now that I've done the math, I feel better. I was thinking I could have my friend over and just spend some time playing every game I have, but even if we only played each one for 1 minute it would take over 4 hours! Maybe I'll just play a different one every day for 9 months. I wish I played more Fantastic Voyage. It looks pretty fun. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I never play enduro, although i love the game i always forget it is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Well I would like to find the time to play my Miner 2049er I & II, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Mountain King, Swordquest WaterWorld, and some others in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I gotta hold up my hand and say I hardly ever play ANY of my games, not just 2600, but any system. I'm more interested in the variety, concept and idea of gaming than actually sitting down and really trying to beat them. I've got a lot of hardly played titles. That said, I'm having a pretty fair stab at Shenmue 2 on DC (Hong Kong is depressing - I want to go back to japan!!). If I could only reconcile this inconsistency in my life, I daresay i'd save a load of money - oh well, carry on saving for that Gamecube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hmmm. let´s see, I think Space Invaders is gathering some dust lately, there´s so many clones of it and I played so many shoot em ups that sometimes I turn it off even before the first wave is finished, I love Space Invaders but then again the replay value drops after u play all those clones. The game I usually play is Chopper Command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I would have to say it is Star Raiders in my case. The reason is that I have to pull out the special control that goes with the game just to play it. I prefer playing most games on my StellaX emulator since I am on my computer all the time. So having to pull out the controller rather than just playing is an extra step that sometimes causes me not to play. But you are right. There are several games that I have that I keep stored but don't play as often as when I first got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I'd like to jump back into "This Planet Sucks", when I first got it I was thrilled, now I've just never fired it up again. I've got a couple RPG's going on the PC right now. I normally enjoy them, but they take forever. Also, I just got over my Civilization 3 addiction.

Adrian M Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I just got a sealed copy of Gravitar for the 2600 and sadly my black Vader 2600 console doesn't seem to work anymore! So I guess this is my best 2600 game that I can't play this one at all until I fix or find a new console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I think I have more fun collecting the games than actually playing them. I have a few 2600 games I bought that have yet to be played. I just bought Sentinel, Dark Chambers and Radar Lock. The only thing I have done so far is just put them in to check if they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 I want to play AD&D for my Intellivision, but my stupid brother is hogging the TV with his stupid GameCube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 best game i NEVER play ?!?!? the formulation got me confused ... so i'd say it's "a game of ze_ro concentration". i'm still busy thinking what could be the best game i have never played. hope i don't make the highscore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpyrz Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 The best two games I never play are Sea Battle and Swordfight, the two new ones that Intellivision just released. They require two players and my fiance just isn't interested. I wind up pathetically sititng in front of the TV moving both controllers just so I can play them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is that I have to pull out the special control that goes with the game just to play it. In my collection, too, Star Raiders goes sorely overlooked, though for a different reason. More often than not I'm looking for a quick game or at least a fast-paced game, and a strategy game like Star Raiders doesn't fit the bill. Similarly, “adventure” games like Pitfall II: Lost Caverns and Raiders of the Lost Ark get played infrequently (though ironically enough, Adventure itself gets a fair amount of use).

StanJr Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Yeah, Pitfall II just kind of sits there in my collection too. And its one of my fav games. I have a mental block on it, that if I cannot get a perfect score, then what's the point. I've done it before, so I know I can do it. The first time I miss a jump or hit a frog, its over.

Lemmi Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 pretty much all of them now, the cuttle cart, colecovision and Dreamcast has taken up my spare time but i think i am done collecting 2600 games for awhile (i will still be looking but only for the few games i had as a kid and are now to damn rare) UPDATE: my Friend moved back to Michigan from Florida but he cant find his 2600 system and games i told him to keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Bring out yer dead. Bring out yer dead! A 2600 game that I wish I spent more time playing is Space Shuttle. I haven't even given it a chance, really, but I want to learn to play that game. I've got the manual and overlay, just need the time.

MattyXB Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 I have get today my 370 game (only these from A-Z and Numers) not Paks or cartridges with more games counted. But I don't play often with them. I test them when I get them, but thats all what I most do. I think in the future there cames a time where I have nostalgic feelings and then I play more with them.

Horax Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Yep, that´s a good question! Xenophobe is taking a long slumber in it´s Box since a while... It´s one of the best Games i ever played on the 2600. But at the moment i don´t have much time for playing Videogames and a Xenophobe-Session always goes 1-3 hours. But as soon as i have more time i´ll enjoy blasting those Aliens again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Hey Capn Atari, what are those two games like? I'm thinking of getting copies from Hozer. I haven't played much of any games lately outside of Advance Wars. It's too good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
