Top 100 2600 games of all time


Damon Plus

Recommended Posts

As I said on the other topic, I think it would be interesting to make a top 100 games for the system. It´s been done on other sites, but they have dissapeared or were done by few people.

 

Here, everyone can vote their 10 favourite games to rank them on a big list. The first game on the list will receive 10 points, the second one 9, and so on. Every 5 or 6 votes I´ll do an update of the list.

 

I hope that people like the idea and starts voting. This could be an important reference to know wich games are must haves!

 

 

You can:

-Vote for up to 10 original cartridge games and/or

-Vote for up to 5 Super Charger games and/or

-Vote for up to 5 homebrews.

 

My votes:

 

1- Asteroids

2- Adventure

3- Missile Command

4- Keystone Capers

5- Circus

6- River Raid

7- Plaque Attack

8- Jr. Pac-Man

9- Boxing

10- Jawbreaker

can't help but have some tied games when making a top ten. If others add their top ten lists then eventually all the games will be scored differently. A top ten list is likely to produce fairly homogenous results; how 'bout a top 20? I really do like the idea of grading the best games on a point scale, it's nice to have fresh thought injected into this reverberated idea.

Thanks for your support :)

 

What about three different lists? One for official releases, one for hacks and one for supercharger games? (The two last would have about 5-10 games only). And I think the list will be reduced to 50 games as some people suggested.

 

Atarieric, your points will be counted until Joust, as it´s the number 10 on your list.

 

Small update, so all of you can see how the list will be done.

 

Top 50

 

1- Asteroids (20)

2- Adventure (18 )

3- Pitfall 2 (17)

4- Keystone Capers (16)

5- River Raid (13)

6- Circus (12)

7- Missile Command (8 )

7- Pitfall (8 )

9- H.E.R.O (7)

10- Star Wars Arcade (6)

 

11- Rescue Terra I (5)

11- Q-Bert (5)

13- Tapper (4)

13- Plaque Attack (4)

15- Combat (3)

15- Jr. Pac-Man (3)

17- Boxing (2)

17- Frankenstein´s Monster (2)

17- Air Sea Battle (2)

20- Joust (1)

20- Jawbreaker (1)

 

 

Frogger/Frogger II (¿) (Waiting for adams_ale to decide. Sorry, it has to be only one game)

Montezuma´s Revenge/Xenophobe (¿) (Waiting for adams_ale to decide. Sorry, it has to be only one game)

 

Then, the list will grow as more votes arrive.

Alrighty then if I must choose here they are: Xenophobe and Frogger II :)

I think this list is going to be interesting, because if enough people vote it should show that rare games don't usually suck. It seems as though I'm always hearing that most rare games suck and this is simply not true. From the games in my collection I think the rare games tend to be better than the common games. Seeing as how a majority of rare games were made from 1983 and on the programmers of these games had plenty of experience with the Atari hardware and were able to push it much further than earlier offerings. Games always get better with time on a system. Xenophobe and BMX Airmaster are prime examples of later games pushing the limit of the 2600.

After a lot of though, here's my list. Please note there are 12 entries. That's because my 2 favorites are supercharger games, so I included them in ().

 

(Frogger: The Official Version)

(Communist Mutants From Space)

River Raid II

Bowling

Circus Atari

Crystal Castles

Subterranea

Midnight Magic

Frostbite

Klax

Pitfall II

Bumper Bash

 

It was tough coming up with 10. I had to eliminate some other favorites of mine: Ice Hockey, Frogger II, Frogs & Flies, Montezuma's Revenge, Q*Bert, Moon Patrol, Mountain King, Tapper, Spider Fighter, Phoenix, Demon Attack, Indy 500, Pitfall, Centipede and Millipede.

Only three SuperCharger games have been voted. If we count 5 points for the first, 4 for the second, etc... The list will be as follows:

 

1- Dragonstomper (5)

1- Frogger (5)

3- Comunist Mutants from the Space (4)

 

You can vote for your 10 favourite 2600 games and then for your 5 favourite SuperCharger games on 2 separate lists.
