Random fact #85273 that you didn't need to know about me:

 

When I was younger, like a billion years ago, I'd bike to school. It was the fall, and the leaves were on the ground. I would try to avoid all the leaves as I biked home (making it into a game sorta).

 

Occasionally, I would get a 'power up', and then hum the theme to Vanguard (after getting invincibility), and thus I was able to bike straight through any leaves (an amazing skill tbh). And now you officially know too much.

Damn difficult to narrow this down but here goes,

 

Pitfall II

River Raid

H.E.R.O

Tutankham

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Star Raiders

Robot Tank

Demon Attack

Pitfall

Keystone Kapers

 

That was a struggle, how in the hell can I leave out Enduro, Grand Prix, Spider Fighter, Sea Quest, Frostbite, Cosmic Ark, Q*Bert, Phoenix, Vanguard, Jr Pacman, Megamania, Warlords, Sky Skipper, The Empire Strikes Back, Battlezone, Spiderman, Space Shuttle etc, etc

[p.opus]

 

2. Slot Racers (same as Maze Craze, I would love someone to update this game!)

 

I read a review absolutely slamming this game, and I wonder if he played the same game as I did, or if he didn't know how to play.

 

My dad and I loved this game, especially on Difficulty A where you had to wait until your shot killed your opponent, or you gathered up your own shot. We had a great time setting up traps for each other, shooting around corners and the like. This is one of the best two player games ever.

[Amityville315]

My top ten:

 

1. Yar's Revenge

2. Asteroids

3. Adventure

4. Demon Attack

5. Haunted House

6. Pitfall

7. Warlords

8. Bowling

9. Boxing

10. Defender (can't play it now though)

 

Honorable mention:

Kaboom!

Atlantis

Empire Strikes Back

Halloween (just the fact it got made!)

[Opry99er]

1) GORF

2) Enduro

3) Yars' Revenge

4) Asteroids

5) Seaquest

6) Missile Command

7) Ms. Pac Man

StarMaster

9) Adventure

10) Megamania

 

 

REALLLLLLY wanted to put Space Shuttle on here... It is the kind of game I would rank #1. Problem is, I have not spent enough time with it and have yet to make a successful dock.

 

Same for StarMaster... It is on my list, but I have not taken the time to get 'good' at it yet... Likely this list will look very different in a month or two.

[Deep_wolf]

So, I've been playing Atari for little while, mostly from this list. So, it's not a final top, but the games, that I liked the most of them. There is no order, just game is a row.

 

Outlaw

Miniature Golf

Laser Blast

River Raid

Fire Fighter

Atlantis

Bobby Is Going Home

Flash Gordon

 

Still needed to play with two people, so find some more interesting games. On my own it's only the games, that I just showed up. So, until another time

[G-type]

This might change when I play more, but for now I will say:

 

Private Eye

River Raid

Missile Command

Phoenix

Secret Quest

Combat

Frogger

Enduro

E.T.

[Miss 2600]

Time for an update. Because of a change to one participant's list, 2 games dropped from the list completely (Malagai and Night Stalker). Another game was removed by one person and then added back by another (Video Chess). What are the odds of that? Five games got votes for the first time: Flash Gordon, Off the Wall (might need to check that one out), Fire Fighter, Demolition Herby, and Obelix (never heard of those last two). H.E.R.O. is moving up in points, but not enough to overtake Space Invaders. Yars' Revenge leapfrogged Kaboom! for 8th place. Demon Attack moved from 16th to 14th. Welcome to the Top 100 Astroblast and Private Eye!

283 Total Cartridges

[The Eyeball Mural]

Well, why not? Very tough to narrow down, and the top fifty or so games are very close in ranking for me, but to fix something in amber:

 

1. Adventure

2. Yars' Revenge

3. Berzerk
