Most Played Original games?

[jc78_2005]

so clearly the sports library is not among the favs here lol. so what do most of you play on the 7800? Lately for me, its been Robotron, Mario Bros, and starting to get some Scrapyard Dog game time in.

play bobs games mostly..

I think that's true for most of us. I kind of had to stop and think about the answer to this question because I almost typed "Moon Cresta." Then I was like, wait, no, that's Bob. Pacman... wait Bob. Space In.... Geez. Of course ,B*nQ and Beef Drop would also be on the list, so it isn't just Bob's games, but it sure ain't mostly Atari made games.

If by "Original games" you are referring to non-self-published/homebrew titles, the original retail line only, then being an owner of the 7800 over the span of 20-25 years, I would have to list the top 12 (Not necessarily in this order though) as:

 

01. Karateka*

02. Joust

03. Centipede

04. Ms. Pac-Man

05. Galaga

06. Dig Dug

07. Choplifter

08. Pole Position II

09. Xevious

10. Robotron 2084

11. Food Fight

12. Winter Games

 

Mostly because those were the game I actually owned (Plus a few others) in the late 80's. Those 12 probably received an equal amount of play time. However, factor in emulation and gameplay centered on late 90's (Thank you Internet and O'Shea's 40 cents a game) until present, the list would look something more like this:

 

01. Xevious

02. Scrapyard Dog

03. Midnight Mutants

04. Karateka*

05. Food Fight

06. Joust

07. Commando

08. Dig Dug

09. Dark Chambers

10. Winter Games

11. Centipede

12. Xenophobe

 

 

*Yes, I like Karateka - In fact, it is one of my favortie games on the 7800. ET is one of my favs on the 2600, and Spelunker is one of my favs on the NES...

Centipede would have to be number one for the 2 player on the screen support at the same time! But just like a lot of other people have stated, I play Bob's games more than the original Atari games.

 

1. Centipede

2. Kung Fu Master

3. Galaga

[Master Phruby]

1. Galaga

2. Centipede

3. Asteroids

[Dauber]

Food Fight by far gets the most play out of my "originals."

[BassGuitari]

Asteroids, Galaga, Centipede, Ms. Pac-Man, and Xevious.

 

And sometimes Alien Brigade w/ the XE Gun, just because I can.

[Shinju]

Commando

Xenophobe (just wish they would have done pokey music on this title!)

Dig Dug

Crossbow

Robotron

Ballblazer (mostly for the music)
