What "FUN" games are there at Rarity 5 and above?

[Kenwood]

I know a lot of you on this board collect any rare Atari Game just to add to your collection. I want to play fun games on my Sixer, not collect carts. So....what "FUN" games are there at Rarity 5 and ABOVE?

 

For me that's:

 

Beamrider

H.E.R.O.

Miner 2049er

Montezuma's Revenge

Star Wars: The Arcade Game

[NE146]

Quadrun is one rare game that I'd really like to have. Currently I only play it on my Cuttle Cart.

 

But yeah the much of what's rare is crap. People here go gaga simply because they're rare and to shove it in a case or shelf and display it and simply to have it. You wouldn't really catch them dead playing it though. But that's a collectors mentality (something I thankfully don't really have)

Actually, Tapper is a 6 rarity, and you probably could catch me dead playing it, its my most played game. Loved the arcade, loves it more on the atari (the mountain dew does it) =D

[NE146]

Read "much" of what's rare, not "all".

 

And I wouldn't consider Tapper too rare, after all even I have a copy of it! And you're right..great game

[AtariLeaf]

It may sound weird but I've always had a strange affinity for cosmic swarm. I believe thats a six. I heartily agree with tapper. A definite must have cart.

[SS]

Cakewalk is super rare and super fun.

[StanJr]

The aforementioned Tapper and Spy Hunter are both total fun.

 

I like the stupid Video Cube, but I bet I'm the only one. Same goes for Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er II.

[AtariLeaf]

I can't wait to try Spy Hunter on a real 2600. I've only played the emulator version. Pov's sending me one with my order.

Thanks man!

[AtariLeaf]

Some other good 5's and 6's

 

5 - Cosmic Commuter

6 - Pengo, Track & Field

[SS]

I like the stupid Video Cube, but I bet I'm the only one.  Same goes for Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er II.

 

I really enjoy "Atari Video Cube" but can't stand the sloth like "Miner 2049er"s.

Pretty much how I feel sometimes. I don't see myself spending over $100 for any individual cart right now. However, some rare games are actually fun to play.

Sloth? LOL.

 

Though some of these games are hardly rare, Here's a few I enjoy a lot:

 

Miner 2049er

Tapper

Bump N Jump

[bjk7382]

There are a lot of fun rare games, and this also includes unreleased protos, which are rare and fun.

 

Stronghold

Star Wars: Ewok Adventure -proto

Kabobber -proto

Gauntlet

Malagai

Obelix

Asterix

Aquaventure -proto

Crazy Climber

Q*bert's Qubes

Frogger (supercharger)

[AtariLeaf]

Bump and Jump is very good but only rare if its got the silver label or white MNetwork label I think.

 

Anyone know if the CV version of B&J is any good? Like some opinions before I go after it.

[Voch]

I love playing Q*Bert's Qubes in MAME and would love to see the Atari 2600 version in person someday...

 

Voch

[Plink-Plonk-Ploink]

Bump 'n Jump is pretty fun.

Also don't forget road runner =] it's great

[+Nathan Strum]

Here are some from my collection:

 

Beamrider (5) - excellent shooter

H.E.R.O. (5) - excellent, maybe Activision's best game

Frogger II (6) - it's threedeep! What more do you need?

Gravitar (8 - if you count the silver label) - tough game, but fun

Quadrun (9) - really unique gameplay, and cool sound fx

Jawbreaker (5) - oustanding maze chase game, one of my favorites

Polaris (6) - takes a few waves to get going (get it? waves! I kill me...)

Tapper (6) - amazing translation, really challenging

Spy Hunter (6) - another winner from Sega

Subterranea

[Big Player]

SpaceMaster X-7 is a great shooter. (Also reminds me I've lent one copy out for a trade that hasn't been completed yet.)

 

Frankestein's Monster. Picked this up at PC5.

 

I like Track & Field better than Decathalon. I have the Track & Field controller so I don't put too much wear on my joysticks. You get better times with it as well.

[Tsukasa]

Some of the Supercharger games are 5's and above, all of which are very good. Ones I like besides the supercharger games are, Montezuma's revenge, Shootin' gallery, Sentinel, H.E.R.O., Mr. Do!, Pooyan, King Kong, Pengo and video cube.

SpaceMaster X-7 is a great shooter. (Also reminds me I've lent one copy out for a trade that hasn't been completed yet.)

 

Just waiting on you to tell me what you are looking for, hombre. As soon as you get a game in your sights, let me know I'll hunt it down. Can't get anything by you accountants!

 

 

I'll second Frankenstien's Monster. Great game.

[keilbaca]

The silver label gravitar is a 8 rarity?!?! Damn it mom! I remembered that game when she sold my atari... someone got really lucky when they got that... damn it...

[MattG/Snyper2099]

Boing!

[sku_u]

Pretty much any Commavid game (minus Rush Hour, Magicard and Video Life), all the Answer games, Air Raid (hack or not, I love this game), Qbert's Qubes (yes, I really like this one), Klax (the unreleased Proto NTSC version), Pengo (the unreleased alternate proto version) and Elk Attack.
