bomberpunk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 definitely Warlords and Enduro...maybe Star Raiders or Space Shuttle (with instructions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm not sure. Maybe these: E.T. Marauder Lock 'N' Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduecrum Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Top three: Oystron Save Mary Stargate In case the first two aren't eligible: Q*Bert HERO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 In alphabetical order: Adventure Princess Rescue Solaris Don't tell Nintendo about Princess Rescue, though. They'll come looking for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertJets Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 This is a tough one: Pole Position Keystone Kapers Millepede There are probably another half dozen up there I could flip flop on too. It would be easier for my XEGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Should allow for some peripherals. I'd buy a CompuMate and a tape drive. Even Adventure can get tiresome eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 A deserted island that has power? Is there a mysterious smoke monster, convoluted plot, and bad ending on this island too? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Beamrider Kaboom Backgammon I haven't actually played Atari backgammon or backgammon for that matter but I would want a game where the Atari could be a worthy opponent. It cheats at Chess but Checkers might be a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Mine would be: Video Pinball Centipede Circus Atari I might have chosen millipede over centipede, but I think your choices pretty much mirror mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oky2000 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 A deserted island that has power? Is there a mysterious smoke monster, convoluted plot, and bad ending on this island too? Lost had an ending? lol it was more like "screw it we will never be able to explain all this mystical bullcrap we hinted at for 5 years so let's just stop making it" Hmmmm 3 is a difficult number, and it also depends if I am stranded on the desert island alone/fat minging bird/a bloke or with a gorgeous young sexy bit (with very low standards haha) Vanguard is defo #1 Then it gets tricky.....but after a lot of thinking I would say Star Raiders #2 And then E.T. #3 <joke> Number 3 is really tough because there are plenty of games I like but would I be able to play them for ages and ages. I love driving games but Enduro and Pole Position are nice enough but not really going to give me my driving game fix in the same way as Colin McRae Rally or Lotus Turbo 2 (Amiga NTSC of course) so........ I will have to think a lot more about #3 or just pick anything from the remaining 20 or so games I really like but do not have much longevity. Two players or one player games obviously make a difference too but if there was 2 of us then maybe Combat because it's a nice 2 player game I think. Possibly the co-op mode in Space Invaders. If I am alone...then I can't decide now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hmmmm, a very difficult decision! my election. 1. Adventure (randomness counts) 2. Berzerk. 3. Missile Command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska_music_fan83 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 A deserted island that has power? Is there a mysterious smoke monster, convoluted plot, and bad ending on this island tooThe Hey! Atari already solved this issue back in 1983. It could be just like the 5200 where you plug the system into the sand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFvf7Z5kyVU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
