Favorite Hidden Gems (or Most Underrated) Atari 2600 Games
cvga replied to Living Room Arcade's topic in Atari 2600
Beamrider - although it's from Activision, it was released fairly late, and is an incredible shooter. Fast paced with lot of enemies that it introduces as you delve deeper into the game. Rather than issue an extra live every so many points it gives you an opportunity to grab one each level (that they call sectors). Also has a boss that you can shoot down at the end of each sector. Plays a bit like Tempest without a super-zapper and has a ton of strategy. I grew up playing it on the Intellivision but was amazed at just how good it is on the Atari 2600. One of, if not my favorite game all time!- 3 replies

I know Al doesn't have a way to prevent it but I hate seeing these games pop up on eBay at inflated prices before many of us receive our orders. Ugh!

We were just dating at the time but my wife bought a Gameboy just to play Tetris. Nearly 36 years later and I haven't seen her play a game for any handheld or console since including that same Gameboy.

Intellivision HSC Season 19 - Game 6 - White Water
cvga replied to Rickster8's topic in Intellivision High Score Club
Still can't finish Game 3 (or 4 for that matter). Here's what I do have... I think I was really really close in Game 3 based on the pictures of Game 1 and Game 2 but yowzers I just can't get there. Game 7 I'll likely give Game 3 a few more tries but I'm not optimistic at this point. Ironically I think this could have been a pretty good game. -

I'm struggling with each version of this game but especially Game 3. I can't keep all 3 guys in the boat. Are you avoiding them falling out or have you gotten better at picking them back up? Any other tips you can give me? Evidently no one on YouTube really likes this game either lol. -
Ordered!

Intellivision HSC Season 19 - Game 5 - Pitfall

Much better. I tried to rush to get any possible remaining treasures in the last 30 seconds. That didn't work out so well lol. -

I was cursing this game last night with a score around 20,000 but tonight I was going strong. I had only lost one man and had had about 3 minutes left on the clock with 67,000 (I think) points when my Intellivision died. I'll try to get back on later, hopefully it doesn't happen again. -
Who out there has bought physical copies from Champ Games?
cvga replied to bigfriendly's topic in Atari 2600
I've ordered from them when they were part of AtariAge and again when they were independent. Very professional looking materials with awesome game play. I highly highly recommend Galagon.
