Addictive games

[Inky]

We already have a list for the best games, but which ones score high on the 'one-more-go' list?

 

I'd say that the three most addicting games IMHO are

 

Circus

KaBoom

and SuperBreakout (esp. the progressive rounds)

[Xot]

Definately Challenge by Zellers (AKA My Way).

I think I'm the only one here who likes this game, though.

 

Kaboom, of course. I find Skeleton to be terribly addictive. I would add Dragster to the list as well.

 

When you've got two live players, Activision Boxing gets hard to put down too.

[joeybastard]

Definetely Kaboom and Circus.

 

I'll add:

Pressure Cooker

Hero (I CAN"T GET PAST LEVEL 14!!!)

[Jacob Marley]

Armor Ambush if you have a second player who can play well.

 

After that, Ms Pac-Man and Joust.

[Kripto]

I find Adventure, Demon Attack and Yar's Revenge to be the ones that call out to me timie and time again. I feel Demon Attack could use more variety in the different waves though.

[Witchfynde]

The Telesys game Ram It can be VERY addictive...if you know how to play: you're in the middle, colorful bars come towards you, and you have to shoot 'em back; unfortunately none of my friends liked it, as they'd give it a shot, shoot around on all sides, and die. What you have to do is clear out an entire side first, then go for the other side.

 

If the bars reach the middle, you have to keep one or two "alive" until it blinks; when it does, your "ramrod's" laser can pass through it, and then you can shoot it. Pressure mounts when there's grown bars from both sides that have reached the middle, blocking your access to the rest of the screen, where bars you can't reach/shoot are blinking like crazy...and meanwhile there's only seconds left ticking away until you die...

Star Raiders yeah Star Raides!

 

does this sound familiar?

and Yes its Star Raiders My most addictive game!!

I'll place a vote for Thrust (and probably Thrust+ ). This game is very rewarding after playing it for a while with a good joystick.

Well here are just a few:

 

Circus

Kaboom

SuperBreakout

Midnight Magic(I love the music!)

[StanJr]

Definitely Midnight Magic

 

Marble Craze (still stuck on Marble Golf!)

Kung-Fu Master

Reactor

Fireball

[sku_u]

I find these games very addictive:

 

Circus Atari (still haven't flipped the score came 20 points shy )

Kaboom

Kool Aid Man

Breakout

Super Breakout

Combat

Turmoil

Off the Wall

Space Invaders

Night Driver

[LinkoVitch]

you should pretty much be able to guess what I'd say at this point, so I will not bother

 

for those uninitated in me (hello world! )

I always have to put in a vote for Jr Pac-Man. Once I start playing, I seriously can not stop.

The other games I can stop playing are River Raid, Kaboom!, and Solaris.

[King Atari]

Xenophobe!

[DeV0]

My current adictions are

 

H.E.R.O - great game

robot tank

pitfall 2

 

This is sure to change soon

[charin]

Yars' Revenge, Robot Tank, Seaquest, Wizard of Wor...

[voiddweller]

Good topic!

 

For me, it would be Megamania, Super Breakout (Progressive, of course), and Kaboom. Honorable mention goes to River Raid!

[Xot]

I can't believe I forgot SCSIcide!

[Agent57]

In no particular order...

 

Solar Fox (I can play this for hours on end)

Circus Atari

Tunnel Runner

Super Breakout (Progressive)

H.E.R.O. (this game still kicks my ass)

[Big Player]

Marble Craze--any time the 2600 is turned on, I have to play this game.

Made it up to the Video Pinball level, where my game quickly ends.

 

HERO--best game for the 2600 anyway.

 

Private Eye--I'm not always in the mood for this game, but when I am, I play for hours.

 

Entombed--I wish the difficulty didn't ramp so severely (best score is 30) but the game is fun and underrated.

[sdstuff64]

Also when I start playing Enduro,I just can't stop.And I seem to get betetr everytime!

[D.Yancey]

I've never been addicted to a game.

 

Kung Fu Master

River Raid II

Crackpots

Kaboom!

H.E.R.O. (maxing out the score finally cured me; EXTREMELY difficult!)

Pitfall! and Pitfall II (maxing scores on both cured me)

off topic:

 

I just moved my Klax arcade machine from the basement into my living room (yahoo!) and I've been playing it for days now

 

Cheers,

Marco

[AtariDude]

Ray Kassar's Revenge....oops Yars Revenge.

 

I also like Spider Fighter and Demon Attack for their frantic nature.
