Megamania

Good ole space invaders

Montezuma's Revenge

Pitfall 1 & 2

Terrence & Phillip!!! :)

 

May I suggest putting on billboard's top hits of 1978 right through to 1986 and putting it all on randomize as well as repeat. :)

I did this recently during a couple "nerd out nights" I took as a "mancave vacation". It just about saved my sanity after one insanely busy year.

 

Add beer, junkfood, good ventillation and turn off your phone's ringers! Tell people you will be unavailable for the duration. Even forward calls to a family member/friend if no contact freaks you out.

I played Midnight Magic, River Raid and Bump and Jump. Just three I didn't make it to five games as I had something I had to do. Anyway it was fun and I need to start playing my atari again!!

In addition to playing Midnight Magic and River Raid, I would have also played Bowling, Adventure, and Star Trek.

Star Trek - now that's a game I don't often hear suggested for the 2600. I remember playing it on the old 800XL back in the day. How does the 2600 port stack up?

I think it's awesome myself. Never would have thought that until I played it. Feels very much like the arcade (but without the voice and vector, obviously.)

ST for the 2600 plays extremely well. Not a disappointing conversion at all IMO. The other Sega game I played the night I replied to the OP was Tac-Scan. Another vector arcade game that plays extremely well for the Atari. Interesting gameplay ala the paddles. A buddy of mine here in town even owns the original machine. Gotta say that the Atari does a pretty fine job with it. Anyway, it's always good to have an excuse to dust those paddle controllers off!

 

And yes, Tapper is another incredibly great Sega 2600 game. Never gets old. Almost perfect conversion, but with the familiar Atari "flair".
