Emehr Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I don't like singling out "bests" but the first game that I think of from my pool of favorite Activision games is Kaboom! It's pure twitchy goodness in its most raw form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Friedel Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Pitfall II or River Raid I would have to say. Dragster is close though also. Always loved that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Kaboom! of course. See "what have you actually played tracker for 2010" in Classic gaming general. Edited January 3, 2011 by Atarian7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Pitfall II. H.E.R.O., Keystone Kapers, Kaboom!, Pitfall, and Starmaster are all in the running, though, and there's more that aren't far behind. Definitely the best games.

Chuck D. Head Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 For me: 1 - Pitfall II - never played until last summer. I got up to something like 189,000 after a week or so. The music has not left my head for very long since. 2 - Pressure Cooker - More memorable music and fun. I learned to play this on a b/w TV, try that sometime! 3 - Freeway - simple game, but I like it. re: Kaboom - I'm sure if I ever had this game simultaneously with a decent set of paddles, it might be on the list, but sadly.... Barnstorming - Am I missing something? I always wanted this, but on first play I got through the course perfectly the second time. I guess I need to look at the manual online for different difficulties / games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) H.E.R.O. I had to play this game non-stop until I managed level 22, awesome game Pressure Cooker loved it too and Ghostbusters, Frostbite, Commando, Oink! and Enduro Edited January 3, 2011 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm shocked that we don't have more H.E.R.O fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Damn, this is a hard one.I'd have to say, going by the game that gets the most play time for me is H.E.R.O.That would be followed by Pitfall 2.

+LS650 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The thing is that Activision had consistently high quality. I like some games more than others, but almost all of their games are decent. Now, if you look over at the "Best Imagic Games" thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 So apparently so far I'm the only person who likes Keystone Kapers. Interesting indeed. I did enjoy Keystone Kapers, even though I usually don't play too long before I throw the cart in anger because of those stupid bouncy balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceDice2010 Posted January 3, 2011 Share 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). For some reason I can't give Imagic the same love that you do. There are only a few Imagic games that I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 My top 10 Activision: 1) Kaboom! 2) HERO 3) Pitfall! II 4) Chopper Command 5) Dragster 6) River Raid 7) Skiing Spider Fighter 9) Keystone Kapers 10) Pitfall! But those are ALL top 2600 games in my book.
