Philflound Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Demon Attack. A very common game and very addicting to play. Also I like Superman. Krull was always a little bit challenging too.

+swlovinist Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 My vote is for Berserk. A great game to play and very common 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggomania Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 An impressive list of games you have! You have more than I did when I had my Atari 2600 (I had about 50 or so). Here are some games that you may want to consider getting: Galaxian Megamania Spider Man Phoenix Super Breakout I also agree that Demon Attack is a great game.

+save2600 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Nice collection you have going there. Can't believe nobody's mentioned Montezuma's Revenge yet though! Easily one of the best and most replay friendly games for the 2600. Some of those hard to find games people are talking about... they're just pulling your leg. Most of 'em are complete crap and you'll end up sorry you ever spent so much on 'em - IMO. Gorf Pengo Road Runner (someone else already mentioned) Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Arcade Track and Field Tutankham Wizard of Wor ...ALL of these games would be my #1 priorities if I didn't already have 'em. Great playing games that won't break the bank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) These are all good additions, and most are great on gameplay and graphics: Atlantis Battlezone Beamrider Chopper Command Dig Dug Journey Escape Moon Patrol Pac Man Jr. Popeye Private Eye Riddle of the Sphinx Space Shuttle Tac Scan Thunderground Trick Shot Zaxxon Edited March 21, 2010 by tz101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despina83 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Lochjaw Music Machine River Patrol All 4 Bomb carts (NTSC) Gauntlet Malagai Mangia' and maybe a Xante cart or two Oh yeah, I'll get right on those. I'll hit some garage sales, stop at a few Goodwills. Pac Man Jr. I already have that one, I listed it as Jr. Pacman. I picked it up at Vidiots, which is unfortunately too far away for me to make frequent trips to. I have to admit I've never managed to clear even the first maze...came damn close, but I obviously just don't have the skills for this one...yet. Atari 2600 collecting...pretty unusual hobby for a 22 year old girl...then again, I'm a pretty unusual girl. But it's all a part of my love for the 80's in general (music too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despina83 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Bought Dragonfire today, making it a total of 79. Now I need to cool it for a good while. I've been spending too much on the hobby lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm surprised nobody mentioned the homebrew scene- I've been playing the heck out of ladybug, it makes most original games seem boring or somehow lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_Explodes Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Dragonfire is awesome, good pick. I second Atlantis, Montezuma's Revenge, Phoenix, Wizard of Wor, and Demon Attack. If you pick up any homebrews, I highly HIGHLY recommend Medieval Mayhem. It's really pretty fantastic. Fall Down is awesome as well, though you should really have people to play with for both games. Medieval Mayhem is 4 player with paddles, Fall Down is 2 player. You can play them both by yourself and have plenty of fun, though. - Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If you're unsure which direction to go, you can't go wrong with carts from Activision or Imagic. Parker Brothers is right up there with them. Starpath games are excellent, IMO, but they can be a tad expensive and setting it all up to play them is a bit annoying. Perhaps you'd be interested in Stella Gets a New Brain? Stella's Stocking is good year 'round, even though it's Christmas themed. Just some specifics off the top of my head: Chopper Command Megamania Subterranea (might cost you a bit) Dragonstomper (also might cost a bit, but well worth it!) Bump 'n' Jump Super Breakout Jawbreaker Solar Storm Moonsweeper M*A*S*H Turmoil Escape From the MindMaster Tunnel Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despina83 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I love Jawbreaker but I never bought it because I play on a 7800, and Tigervision gams don't work with it unless you take the system apart and and modify it. I have a 2600 Jr., but I don't have the hookups for it. I guess some people would cry foul for only playing 2600 games on a 7800, but it's the 7800 that has nostalgia value for me. Robot Tank works fine on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
