Game Genres

Recommended Posts

Which game genre do you feel is the most fun on the 8-bit machines?

 

Which game genre are the Atari computers best at handling?

 

And which game genre has been mostly ignored on the 8-bit machines?

I don't think that the 8-bits hande any genre poorly...although I think that there's definitely a dearth of good arcade / puzzlers for the machines (e.g. "Chip's Challenge", "Rampart")

Fighting games kinda suck on the 8bit - Dev stopped just as these type games came into the spotlight.

 

Some later releases are pretty good but otherwise the 8bit is missing this genere.

I got hooked on the text adventures early on, but next to those are the classic 8-bit style arcade clones... the most ignored one has got to be the fighting games, I have Kung Fu and Karateka, but that's about it
