Atarian7 #10 Posted February 23, 2010 I love playing Kaboom! but I would have to agree with Dragster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+save2600 #11 Posted February 23, 2010 Kaboom! Is tough, but you can accidentally get by for a while simply swinging the paddle around in a giggling fit. lol I'd say Laser Blast is up there for a great 'twitch' game. Need pretty damn fast responses for that one, despite being predictable and a little repetitive. Cosmic Ark and Vault Assault come to mind as does Berzerk, Breakout and Super Breakout. Video Olympics too. Perhaps to a lesser extent: Coconuts, Space Invaders, Dodge 'Em, Frogger, Midnight Magic, River Raid and Tapper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homerwannabee #12 Posted February 23, 2010 I know they are probably some of the worst games on earth, but most of the Atari 2600 Porn games actually require an insane reaction time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagic's "Firefighter". Chug a few Red Bull's before even attempting to play. "Human Cannonball" as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skylark68 #14 Posted February 23, 2010 I agree with the other posters naming Dragster. Sure it's not life or death, but a large part of winning drag racing is your reaction time. The same holds true with the videogame. I also agree with Enduro and I'd mention Grand Prix. You really have to move quick to avoid crashing into those other cars.

shadow460 #23 Posted February 26, 2010 Kaboom definitely, plus Cosmic Ark. Some others: Solar Storm, 'cause you have NO time to react to enemy shots. Escape from the MindMaster Phaser Patrol for the lock on sight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tr3vor #24 Posted February 26, 2010 spider fighter: its chaos trying to avoid the stupid thing's bullets, its like they game machineguns... on the 2600. yars' revenge: when the quotile starts its spinning on difficulty A, its kinda fast and i find that it requires some major twitching skillz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
