jdanddiet Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I never had a 2600 as a kid, my parents bought me an Intellivision instead :-) However, in retrospect today, one of the things that constantly amazes me is the high quality of arcade conversions on the 2600. I'm a big fan of Warlords and Moon Patrol, and have recently been playing Spy Hunter which is impressively nifty. Any other good recommendations pls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Besides those mentioned and not including homebrews: Road Runner Sprintmaster Track & Field Vanguard Pengo Pole Position Missile Command Galaxian Jungle Hunt Kangaroo Crystal Castles Night Driver Gorf Circus Atari Tutankham Amidar Reactor Pooyan Gravitar Solar Fox Mr. Do! Roc 'n Rope Carnival Mouse Trap Venture Gyruss Super Cobra Popeye Star Wars Arcade Omega Race Bump 'n Jump Asteroids Lock 'n Chase Xenophobe Star Trek Up 'n Down Polaris ...you know, *most* of the arcade conversions are fun on the VCS. It would be easier/shorter to come up with a list of arcade ports that aren't. For such a list, I'd start out with Burgertime. YMMV! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Once you get into homebrews, prepare to be really impressed with the arcade translations! Chaotic Grill (Burgertime Arcade WIP) Colony 7 Crazy Balloon Galagon Gunfight Juno First Ladybug Mappy Medieval Mayhem (Warlords Arcade+) Pac-Man 4K and 8K Scramble Sea Wolf Space Rocks (Asteroids Arcade+) Star Fire Star Castle Arcade Super Cobra Arcade This Planet Sucks (Lunar Rescue) Vault Assault (Space Zap) Wizard of Wor Arcade ...there's plenty more and some still in the works, like Gorf Arcade and Zookeeper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
