I'm waiting for a listing on Ebay for Midnight Mutants with at least the manual included, then I could probably make do with one of the reprint boxes sold on Ebay ? Ok - what I hear is; you’re a collector... — For my own part, I’m usually satisfied with a working cartridge, the rest can be mended. — reprint boxes can do the trick...

That was a few years before the collection became a thing. That Pacman cart and conversations around the development of it was the begining of my friendship with Bob so it means more than just playing Pacman on the 7800 to me. Commando is awesome. Ikari and Commando are interchangeable to me in this instance. Food Fight isn't a game I like, sorry. I value your input...! ... Your entire atari—input... But I do think, personally, Food Fight is pretty cool, even if not absolutely best... (number 1) As to PacMan: cool to hear about your friendship with Bob, and early days of Pac-developement (could become a new thread or YouTube thing).

Waiting for salary may be necessary. It’s a cool adventure-action game, even though long and quite tough as there are no saving options. Impressive boss-fights and memorable locations. I’d advice using YouTube vids to get to know where the heck to go next... But well-made as to grfx, sound, lastability and overall playability...

Yeah I think having the manual will definitely come in handy. I find it interesting how in a lot of older games, the story is written in the manual rather than being explained in the actual game itself, so I feel like I'm missing something if I don't have it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirrell Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I would go with: - Ms. Pac Man - Commando - Ikari Warriors - Food Fight But it is pretty difficult to pick four for the system. Especially with all the great homebrews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If you include homebrews... BBCQ R&V T:ME Salvo Food Fight or PacMan Collection (go back and forth.) No Homebrews... Food Fight Pole Position 2 Choplifter Ms. PacMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Planet Smashers Fatal Run Ninja Golf Midnight Mutants Four games I enjoy playing, but would hate to pay current prices for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A case could be made for Pole Position II. I know it is the pack-in, but it is a fun interpretation of the original. Isn't it also the only racing game on the system? Maybe Fatal Run being the other, but I thought that was only released in some regions. I think I'd probably do these four from the original library: Food Fight Pole Position 2 Commando Ms. PacMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FroggoGamer Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Depends on whether you were adding only originals or only homebrews. For the originals, I'd go with the hard-to-find exclusives, maybe Ninja Golf, Midnight Mutants, Fatal Run and Basketbrawl (of course, you may want to substitute one of these for Food Fight, as it is a fun exclusive) For Homebrews, I'd say Pac-Man Collection, Bentley Bear, Rikki & Vikki and Beef Drop (although my favorite is Dungeon Stalker, and a case could be made for Super Circus Atari) Just sticking with 4 is hard Edited October 6, 2020 by FroggoGamer realized I missed a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
