Rick Dangerous Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When I got my 2600 Harmony Cart, I did a hard assessment of my physical carts and shed quite a few that I didn't deem to be "keepers." Just of the top of my head I would never get rid of at least one copy of: -Combat -Bowling -Centipede -Skiing -River Raid -Halo 2600 -Kaboom -Pole Position -Frogger -Pitfall -Space Invaders -Pac Man -Adventure -Atlantis -Frog' N Flies -Outlaw -Commando Raid -Freeway And a few dozen more I can't think of right now because i'm at work. Despite everdrives, emulators, etc, what are your physical 2600 carts you would never consider parting ways with, no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well, Draconian and Scramble. I like the games and damned amazed at the graphics kernel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Pitfall II, of course. Not sure why I'm holding on to my hundreds of cartridges, but it would be a bunch of work to liquidate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I keep the paddle and keypad games. It just seems more convenient somehow. For joystick games, I keep a shelf (about 20) original and a shelf of homebrew/repro/imports. Adventure, Taz, Spacemaster X7, Pitfall II, Halo, Save Mary, Dice Puzzle, and My Way come to mind offhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertclevernamehere Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Basically, if I want to play it then it's a must own cartridge. The only way I play my Atari games is to take one off the shelf and plug it in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Since I grew up as a toddler with the VCS - I believe everyone should have at least about 10 of the early cartridges from the first 4 catalogs. Those are the simple-looking games. IIRC none had gone above the 4K mark. Why? They provide a great contrast to what is offered today. It's fun to see where the system had been and, now, where it's going. Can't have that perspective till you have both old and new titles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I actually did this when I rebooted my Atari collection in the early 2000s. Here's what I picked: Enduro Chopper Command Kaboom! Midnight Magic Ladybug (hb) Skeleton+ (hb) Medieval Mayhem (hb) Frostbite Solaris These are my must-haves, although of course I have more...can't trust the Harmony Cart to last forever!

+Spriggy Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 You couldn't pry any of my beloved carts from my Polish meat hooks However, in the spirit of the thread, I would say I would keep the AA's Top 100. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/62626-top-100-2600-games-of-all-time/ I enjoy too many Atari eggs for a short list!

Quon Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 There are a number of games, but 2 that were very much my childhood games were Stargate and Crystal Castles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) All of these games. Also Beamrider and Pac-Man 4K. Those are good, too. Edited August 17, 2018 by Atari PAC-MAN Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStar Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Since no one else has mentioned it, I'd add Moon Patrol to the list. Starmaster and Midnight Magic are the other games that immediately come to mind for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) One, a Harmony cart. Ok, I guess if you must then Millipede and Freeway. Edited August 17, 2018 by adamchevy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
