If you had to....

[At4ri]

Play 1 Atari game for 1 hour straight....which would it be? Or another way.....which game has the longest playability ? Death Star Battle or Joust i reckon....

[llabnip]

KABOOM!!

[Room 34]

I have played many games for many hours straight! I will probably never top the 6-hour single game of Defender I played when I was about 10.

 

The games that get extended play with me nowadays are usually Yars' Revenge or Video Pinball. I'd play Kaboom! that long too if only I were good enough at it!

[At4ri]

Kaboom....didn't think of that one. 6 Hours Defender? Never got allowed that cos i had to 'share' the system with little bruv.

Stunt Trap w/ a good opponent

[+Random Terrain]

I'd play E.T. since the phone pieces and the zones are always in different places. I can play that game for hours without getting sick of it.

[Zach]

Video Chess.

 

But that's just me.

[+Random Terrain]

Oh yeah, Video Chess is also a good choice.

[Christophero Sly]

Asteroids or Ms. Pac-Man

[Inky]

Chopper Command!

[At4ri]

Why Ms Pacman rather than Mr.Pac Man ?

THinking about it, Super breakout could be a contender....

[DuckandCover]

Stampede

[Godzilla]

dark cavern can give a good hour of tense fun, space master x-7, tho my favorite, is more enjoyable in shorter bursts it really takes a lot out of you.

Why Ms Pacman rather than Mr.Pac Man ?

THinking about it, Super breakout could be a contender....

because Mr Pac-Man is aweful on the Atari. I could play Pac Man Arcade though for a hour. That is still the best hack I have ever played.

[Frostbite Z]

H.E.R.O. would work well for me here.

[sku_u]

Laser Gates.

[Room 34]

Oh yeah, Video Chess is also a good choice.

 

Sure... because it'll take the "computer" 1 hour just to make its first move!

[NovaXpress]

I put in 34 hours straight on Missile Command when I was 12. I did have two short naps but plenty of reserve cities to cover my ass.

 

Apparently I didn't have much real world activity as a child.

[BassGuitari]

Mine would have to be either H.E.R.O., Star Ship, Indy 500, or Seaquest. If I had Cosmic Commuter, maybe that one too.

[Happy_Dude]

KABOOM! or Thrust.

(even though I don't have Thrust .... yet )

[Greg Zumwalt]

Warlords!

Especially with a good friend, both of us battling the 2600, until it came down to just the two of us battling it out.

 

Of course, a good long run at Asteroids and rolling it can be a blast too

[+Saturn]

I put in 34 hours straight on Missile Command when I was 12. I did have two short naps but plenty of reserve cities to cover my ass.

My God, mon! I'd think your 2600 would've started smoldering.

[Osbo]

Activision Enduro

[ApolloBoy]

Robot Tank, Enduro or Pressure Cooker (Yes, I'm a sucker for Activision games).

[Brad2600]

H.E.R.O, Tapper or Crackpots would work for me.
