Favorite space 2600 game

[+Cafeman]

Megamania

Phoenix 

Space Invaders

Yars' Revenge 

[Crazy Climber]

Hands down megamania

 

For homebrews I really like the 2600 version of Thrust

 

Earth Dies Screaming gets an honorable mention for having the raddest name ever

I think Thrust was my first game too, since its been almost 20 years now I guess I have some "nostalgia" for it...kinda weird to nostalgia for a homebrew now that I think about it....damn, I better start up that retirement fund soon 😄

I purchased a CIB foot pedal to go with my Thrust+ Platinum CIB.  Then, years later, I picked up one of the remaining Thrust+ Combat packs.

Thats the one I had (combat pack) I traded a Last Hope for the neo Geo for it with AA member @FABombjoy way back because I didn't want to pay the expensive shipping from Europe. I don't even want to know what that neo geo game is worth now, back then it was around 75 bucks...

Absolutely, Draconian!

[marlowe221]

I can't pick just one...

 

Asteroids

Beamrider

Solaris

Gravitar

Galaxian

Starmaster

Star Raiders

Defender

 

The 2600 has a lot of great space themed games!

[Melvin Missile]

Here's my picks:

#1: Phaser Patrol

#2: Demon Attack

#3: Solaris

#4: Gravitar

 

And of course I'm going to mention that every Atari space game is part of AtariQuest... As chapters unlock, you'll see how all the games fit together: https://atariquest.blogspot.com

Space Invaders. A friend had Star Ship, and I used to be terrified when objects would come up to the screen, so much to the point where I had to ask him not to play that game whenever I came over. I also used to like Galaxian and The Earth Dies Screaming. And Star Wars, of course.

[BassGuitari]

Defender, Space Invaders, Star Ship immediately come to mind, so I guess those are my tops. Others include:

 

Galaxian

Asteroids

Super Breakout (not usually thought of as a "space game" but the artwork and backstory say otherwise)

GORF

Alien

Subterranea

Space Jockey

Defender II

Secret Quest

Solaris

Starmaster

Astroblast

Stellar Track

Starmaster

Stargunner

Warplock
