Atarian7 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I love playing Kaboom! but I would have to agree with Dragster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted February 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark68 Posted February 23, 2010 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat'em & Eat'em plays near the same as Kaboom so ya I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Kaboom definitely, plus Cosmic Ark. Some others: Solar Storm, 'cause you have NO time to react to enemy shots.
