keithbk Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Back when I was a kid, these were my favorites: Starmaster Star Voyager Vanguard Phoenix I also played a ton of Tac-Scan, Space Attack, and Cosmic Ark. While I like Star Raiders, the extra controller didn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with these and if your into homebrews, the following would make worthy additions to any ones collection. 1. Space Instigators 2. Space Rocks 3. Gorf Arcade - currently a WIP. Will include all 5 arcade level, speech and more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, you can't love Space Games and not have a copy of Space Game. IMO, this is an excellent, challenging shooter and includes great sfx and sprites. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) So many excellent space shooters for the 2600, I can't narrow it down to a top 3 so I'm just going to list a few that are both excellent and I haven't noticed they've been mentioned yet. In no particular order: Beamrider, Solaris, Spacemaster X-7, Moon Patrol, Cross Force, Moonsweeper. Love, love, love all of these. Plus a shout out to Draconian, my fave space shooter homebrew. Edit: I see someone else mentioned Draconian while I was typing... Edited December 1, 2021 by insertclevernamehere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
