tz101 #1 Posted January 3, 2011 What is your pick for the best Activision game for the VCS. Tough choice, but I waver between Frostbite and Enduro. After careful thought it comes down to Frostbite. The game is awesomely fun and holds my attention for longer spells than others like HERO and Robot Tank. Plus, I never tire of outsmarting that pesky polar bear.

Inky #2 Posted January 3, 2011 Pitfall II 2) Starmaster 3) Chopper Command 4) Robot Tank 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberto #3 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Well, Pitfall (both I and II) are an obvious choice but, beside them, I'd say H.E.R.O. Edited January 3, 2011 by roberto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinman #4 Posted January 3, 2011 My personal favorite is Starmaster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtariLeaf #5 Posted January 3, 2011 I'd go with Ice Hockey (BIG surprise right) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reinhardt #7 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) River Raid Fishing Derby Pitfall II Laser Blast Sky Jinks It's hard to pick just one. But I think Pitfall II is my favorite. Edited January 3, 2011 by Reinhardt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Koala #8 Posted January 3, 2011 River Raid Seaquest Fishing Derby (seriously) But since its pick and not picks, ill have to go with Seaquest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleman jack #13 Posted January 3, 2011 There are so many great ones(Beamrider, Pitfall, Starmaster, Frostbite, H.E.R.O., Spider Fighter, River Raid, Ice Hockey, Enduro, Freeway, Chopper Command . . .), but if I had to choose one, it'd be Seaquest. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jetset #16 Posted January 3, 2011 No love for Kaboom? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Koala #17 Posted January 3, 2011 No love for Kaboom? Ahhh kaboom, how could i forget! Unfortunately my jittery paddle controllers (all 4 sets of them) make it not worth playing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybird3rd #19 Posted January 3, 2011 If I had to pick only one, it would be Kaboom!: it's a minimalist design which combines addictive gameplay, a terrific theme, perfect controls (as long as your paddles are jitter-free), and appealing audiovisuals. All in 2K of ROM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanhq #20 Posted January 3, 2011 Hey, what about Keystone Kapers? I love this game. Of course the other mentions like Pitfall, River Raid, H.E.R.O. are of course really good too. Activision made some of the best 2600 game IMHO (along with iMagic). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
