what are some good paddle games?

[Atari-Collector]

I haven't been able to play my Atari for a while now due to a hurt arm, so I want to get some paddle games that should be less stressful on my arm then a joystick. I already have Super Breakout, and that is all the paddle games I have in my small collection.

 

So what would you guys recommend for other paddle games? I plan on going cartridge hunting tomorrow at a used game store..

 

Thanks.

I love Super Breakout. Video Olympics is cool for 2 to 4 players.

OK, thanks, I have a good start on a shopping list now btw, only 1 player games are of interest to me since I have nobody to play with.

Try Tac-Scan. It's the only 2600 game I am aware of that lets you control a whole formation of ships, and it's absolutely brilliant. It also uses the right port for the paddles, so you don't have to unplug your joystick.

Encounter at L-5 fun game too

Circus Atari, Super Breakout, Night Driver (for 5 minutes...)

Night Driver (for 5 minutes...)

Agreed. I still wish someone would make a homebrew arcade port.

Just got back from my shopping trip, intact thankfully. Sen a suv on it's beside the highway on the way.. hopefully no serious injuries..

 

I bought 8 games and a Slik Stick joystiick for $42, plus the $10 in gas for the trip, so I think I did ok. Only two are paddle game, Circus, and Astroblast. There were a few others I considered but the were in too rough shape And I'll keep an eye open for the other paddlers when I see more cart for sale:)

 

thanks

Eggomania is a favorite of mine. Plays like Kaboom!, but you get to shoot the eggs you've collected back up to that psychedelic big bird looking thing.

Get friends round and plug in Warlords for a great time for all involved - Trash talk optional lol.

[high voltage]

Eggomania and Beat em and eat em, both great Kaboom clones

along with the games already mentioned I would say;

 

Ultra SCSIcide (available at the AA store) is a great game.

Marble Craze is also pretty good.

Don't think anyone has mentioned Solar Storm from Imagic. It's a vertical shmup that uses the paddles. Looks and sounds great and plays great too.
