Top 30 Vertical Shooters for the Atari 2600 #2

The penultimate vertical shooter is also one of the most impressive (non-Starpath) games for the system. It's so grand, that it's presence on this list is almost unfair.

I wholeheartedly agree with #1! :D

 

And Solaris is great too, indeed, even when stealing the place here that'd rightfully belong to Galaxian ;)

Hmmm... never thought of Solaris as a vertical shooter in the traditional sense. I tend to equate vertical shooters with death-from-above games, not so much above-and-behind games. Solaris always felt more to me like an extension of Moonsweeper or Planet of Zoom. Not to say Solaris isn't an amazing game - just one I wouldn't have thought to put in that category.

I'm thinking that #1 has the initials "BR" (or is it just "B").

 

Activisions third best effort, right after H.E.R.O. and Seaquest! :D

Sequest? really? I can think of at least 5 Activision games better than Seaquest (uh-oh, I am about to make another list...)

 

As for #1, only tomorrow will tell.

 

Thanks to all for reading.
