pitfall II

kaboom!

h.e.r.o

fantastic voyage

[Room 34]

This comes up again and again but it's always fun. Sadly I've gone modern and the 2600 hasn't been getting the love lately. But at any rate, in the past I'd have said (and in fact, I did) my top 5 were:

 

H.E.R.O.

Solaris

Kaboom

Frogger

Keystone Kapers

 

I'm not totally sure I'd still say the same. Overall my top 11 (from the article I linked to above) probably still stand, but I might reorder them a bit.

OLD SCHOOL

Megamania

Crystal Castles

NEW SCHOOL

Elevators Amiss

Thrust
