non-fire button 2600 games

[RJ]

What 2600 games don't use but play OK w/out the fire button?

(besides to re/start a game)

 

So far:

(Ms.)Pac-Man

Maze Craze (no "flashlight")

Frogger

Freeway

Superman (no X-ray vision)

Activision Gran Prix (I seem to recall using L/R to accelerate/brake)

 

Any others? If this has been posted before, please link me- thx!

Skiing - except for when you have the "expert" button selected to jump

Got a broken joystick?

 

Anyway Space Treat (Deluxe) doesn't require the fire button during the game..

Yeah...I plan to leave a 2600 at my folks' place for the grandkids to play...I thought I'd get some games that DON'T use the button to give the (good) working sticks a rest...keep 'em coming!

Revenge of the Apes. (just run and don't shot apes.)

ANY PACMAN RELATED GAME TO INCLUDE MS & JR PACMAN. CRAZY CLIMBER. ADVENTURE DOESNT REALLY REQUIRE THE FIRE BUTTON. THATS JUST A FEW.

ADVENTURE DOESNT REALLY REQUIRE THE FIRE BUTTON.

Well... you CAN play Adventure without the button. But it'll mean not being able to choose where you drop objects, and it also means you could never use the bridge, except in the spot it's in at the start of the game!

Nevermind, still hungover

Frogger II, Dark Cavern, Lock n Chase, Shark Attack

[Nukey Shay]

Q*Bert & Surround

Also Berzerk. It's actually more challenging to get them to walk into the walls without shooting them.

Most of those games are OK but besides Pacman related games IE Ms. Jr. which are really fun to play? I mean, really

[RJ]

Thanks for the lists so far! I should say "games you stand a chance in", as playing Asteroids or Space Invaders w/out firing isn't much fun...

 

Regarding my own post above, the PSX version of Gran Prix (on Activision Classics) uses "x" to speed up, so the 2600 cart may use the fire button too. However, PSX Dolphin doesn't use a button, but does the 2600 cart? (I should know better; I LOVED that game & beat it!)

It is possible to get through the first five levels of H.E.R.O. without using the Fire button. You can also make it all the way down to the screen with the miner in level six, but you can't rescue him.
