Nognir Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 nice topic! Back in the day when I was a kid we had mostly games from Quelle, because they were the cheaper ones to get, but we also had some "original" releases too like Pole Position, H.E.R.O. and Beamrider, which I really enjoyed. Also I really love Bobby's going Home which is also a nice game. Later when I started to collect the VCS games I discovered Frostbite, Enduro and Berzerk for myself. Also some games which I play very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Spider Fighter. Love the pace of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonoidTentacle Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Frostbite. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.O.T.S Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is a million $ question and requires a little thought,in my case it may not be exactly my favourite game but it might be a game i had to play because i could not afford to buy games very often. Space Invaders,Warlords or Combat are possible candidates but my Fav game Raiders Of The Lost Ark could be another,i was good at the game back then and it can be a time consuming game.

gorfcadet Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Othello Kool Aid Man Superman I have spent more time in those three games than any person should, but I've always gone back to them as my personal faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Adventure, for sure. Even when I was obsessed with my 7800 games, Adventure was still getting lots of playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot2600 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Pitfall!, Berzerk, and Adventure, I'll never get tired of these games! Edited October 17, 2013 by Robot2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neopeius Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Adventure is a lot of fun. It's really easy, but the challenging version is to get every item and creature in the gold castle and watch some outrageous flicker! My go-tos are Mini Golf, Stellar Track, Starmaster, Bowling, Skydiver (my daughter's absolute fave), Basketball. Space Shuttle is amazing but hard. Snoopy is fun but too easy. I wish I owned Robot Tank. That one's too easy, too, but I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyK Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) With me it's a tie between Kaboom! and Super Breakout. Rarely do I switch on the 2600 without ending up playing these two games, and once I start playing them I am there for an hour at least. Back in the day it was Asteroids - no competition - played that with my brother for a couple of years (game 39) - would have been almost every day.

Killkernal Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's difficult to name just one game. So I won't. -Adventure: Already mentioned a ton, so there's not much need for an explanation. -Mario Bros.: My mom stayed up until 1:00 AM playing this with me when I was a kid. She couldn't stop laughing the whole time. -Star Raiders: Loved the feeling of piloting a space craft in the first person view. I always played this one in the dark. -Superman: It's a little sad that this is still the best Superman game I've ever played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegad Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 No contest - Adventure. For some reason I never get tired of it. As a runner-up, I'll probably say Superman. I guess I just like roaming from room to room, picking up objects and bringing them somewhere else. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) H.E.R.O. I have it for CV and Atari 2600. The CV version may have more detailed graphics, but the colors for 2600 H.E.R.O. are much brighter and crisp. The same could be said for 2600 Dragonfire.

Unbeliever Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My one most played Atari 2600 game (lately) is Ms. Pacman. It always seems to find it's way back into my console after playing some other games. It's also the one I hit "reset" on the most to play another round or two (or three, or four). Second, would be Berserk, and my third pick would be Asteroids. All of them are my top picks for daily plays. There are so many I enjoy, but these are my top choices.

snesvision Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I recently played through the entire 2600 library of games. I kept coming back to H.E.R.O., River Raid, and Seaquest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhomaios Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Missile Command if I had to pick only one, though I think it might be surpassed by some newcomers in my collection shortly. River Raid is probably second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have to put a vote in for Missile Command. That's the one I've been playing lately on my VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Over the years it would be Adventure or Space Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agb Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Solar Fox for hours at a time. Also dig dug and super breakout and video pinball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saneless Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Adventure, for sure. Probably also Pac Man because while it was terrible, I didn't have any other options to play it. If I ever had gotten ahold of Pitfall that would've been it, but all I had in its place was Jungle Hunt, which got old after 2 minutes.
