adamchevy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hero Laser Gates Spider Fighter Gyruss Mario Bros(programmed by Atari and released the same year it came out in the arcade, 1983. I’ve played almost every console version and the original arcade machine quite a few times. The 2600 version is still my favorite!) Circus Atari Millipede Jawbreaker Freeway Keystone Kapers Pengo Kaboom! TacScan Haunted House Frostbite Solar Fox I play the 2600 fairly often, probably 2-3 times per week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Sorry to double post. I would look a lot of these suggestions up on YouTube under the No Swear Gamer, The Immortal John Hancock, AtariLeaf, Metal Jesus Rocks, and Classic game room(now goes by 80s Comics and has been gone a while). Those are my favorite Retro YouTube video game reviewers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Fantastic Voyage. It's hi def. ? Other than that, The Earth Dies Screaming, Star Wars: The Arcade Game, Galaxian, most of the space shooters because I'm really good at them. Could this be from inheriting my mom's Galaga skills and playing Touhou endlessly as a kid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I have to mention one other game I forgot.If you like Q Bert then you must try Boing!What a beautiful game with frantic arcade fun on The 2600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman000 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Well, I’ve already seen Demon Attack, Solar Fox, & Dragonfire mentioned... Shooters: Worm War I - Feels like Demon Attack, but with a scrolling play field. Vanguard - Defeat enemies in a series of caverns. Has rapid fire, power ups, a boss. Bezerk - Blast robots in an electrified maze. Starship - Early release. Hit targets in outer space. More of an historical curiosity; you might skip this one if you’re not interested in Pong-level crudeness. Sports: Winter Games - Advanced late release. Participate in several Olympic-style events as your favorite country. Realsports Football - Atari showed Mattel what the 2600 could do when well-programmed. You’ll need a manual Miniature Golf - Early release. Crude, but fun. Arcade: Midnight Madness - Late release. Vastly improved pinball game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
