bigbroobs #1 Posted February 2, 2002 All you guys talk about all the games you have and i was just wondering what one you think is the most fun to play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #2 Posted February 2, 2002 At the moment I've got my head stuck in Ginfight but usually its Video Olympics or Combat - the 2 simplest games on the system yet 2 of the most compelling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountain King #3 Posted February 3, 2002 Hmm... Thats a tough one. I usually go through stints. I'll be really in the mood to play a particular game and play it for a month or so and then move on to another game. I'm the same way with food an music too.

Whats Ginfight? , that sounds like a fun game actually Montezumas Revenge doesnt get to far away from my Atari and Also HERO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #5 Posted February 3, 2002 quote: Originally posted by liveinabin: At the moment I've got my head stuck in Ginfight GINFIGHT? Sounds like a drinking game! Yeah, its all about the groove. Right now I'm in a Pete Rose Baseball groove, I play about 3 games a day. I pepper that with Jungle Hunt and Venture, among others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #6 Posted February 3, 2002 I also get into "grooves". However, the game that constantly gets played (I guess I have the permanent groove for it) is definitely Xenophobe (you saw that one a mile away, didn't you?). Dark Chambers is another that gets played constantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Duke #7 Posted February 3, 2002 Asteroids, all the way... Currently got a 43400 score, which is probably a sad score to you guys, but I just started keeping a score sheet, and I havent got around to beating that last score yet. I just cant get really into alot of the 2600 games like Asteroids, I love to collect them but when it comes down to it, I cant play a 2600 game for many hours straight, (unless its Asteroids ) But I do enjoy playing them and hacking them and collecting them.

pitfallaimee #8 Posted February 3, 2002 I enjoy a good round of Turmoil or Jungle Hunt at least once a day, and sometimes I throw Pitfall 2 or River Raid into the mix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popeal #9 Posted February 3, 2002 For me, it's usually Ms Pac-Man, Pitfall II, Masters of the Universe (was a big He-Man fan back in the day, although, I love the Intellivision version better), and Asteroids. Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagMax667 #10 Posted February 3, 2002 The game I play the most is Super Breakout. It's a simple concept. You control a paddle and bounce a ball off it into some bricks. I'm addicted to Breakout. It's a very fun game. But eventually Breakout got too easy for me. So I went out and got Super Breakout which is even better. I also play Asteroids, Galaxian, Adventure, and Raiders of the Lost Ark a lot also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric_ruck #11 Posted February 3, 2002 My most played classic game isn't on an Atari, sorry. It's Solar Quest on the Vectrex. I keep a Vectrex in my office for emergency game breaks. Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+johnnywc #12 Posted February 3, 2002 For me, a quick game of Dodge-em (both switches on 'A') is always a great challenge (537 is my high score). I always have a favorite game of the week, this week it's Mr. Do's Castle (which is quite fun I might add...). Of course, a game of Pete Rose Baseball is never too far away... Stan - have you beaten the computer yet? I'd love to play that game (and Double Dunk) against a human opponent sometime... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fretwobbler #13 Posted February 3, 2002 Frostbite is getting some pretty heavy treatment at the moment - I'm desperately trying to beat the 1 million mark - so far I'm upto just over 890,000 (and thats still a million off twin Galaxies recorded high score!!!!)

StanJr #14 Posted February 3, 2002 Yes, JohnnyWC, I am finally beating the computer on Pete Rose. I just played an amazing game winning 16-7. Other victories have been closer, this was my first blowout. I've been playing this game heavily for the past week. I too want to play it against a human some day. Its almost impossible to get a triple against the computer. Finally a winner! Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have to agree with you that the Intellivision version of Masters of the Universe is much better On topic, I have been playing Jr. Pac-Man most but I'm trading it to StanJr. I guess I will have to find a new favorite, although that won't be too hard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #16 Posted February 3, 2002 I can't believe I typed Ginfight! Sounds a pretty slow game to me Masters of the Universe?? Is that how creep boy got your attention?...

ATARIPITBULL #17 Posted February 3, 2002 Hey livinabin, are you talking about playing gunfight while drinking Gin, if so that sounds like fun to me, just ad some Orange juice to mine please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Osmeroid #19 Posted February 4, 2002 I have had a bit of a thing for Demons to Diamonds & Frostbite for the last few months. Can't stop playing these two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyXB #20 Posted February 4, 2002 As child I have often play: Dragonfire, Asterix, Bobby geht nach Hause, Keystone Kapers, Indy 500, Frogger, Q*bert. And many more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jahfish #21 Posted February 4, 2002 i would gereralise .... when i was a kid, it was always the most advanced one that fascinated me ... so from the vcs2600 i immediately jumped to the c64 and never played consoles again..... i was always more into arcades. beeing french, i could - for a very long time - use 20 centimes coins (about 2-3 cents) instead of the regular 1 Mark coins (1/2 dollar). so it was a cheap fun for me .... i just had to change the locations where i play more often, not be suspected. there's another trick i remember, but let's make a separate post in the arcade section: dirty tricks on arcades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iguana #22 Posted February 4, 2002 It depends if I am solo or not. if I am then I like Adventure and Stampeed and Kaboom. 2 player though you can not beat Armor ambush or realsports football. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malix #23 Posted February 4, 2002 I always seem to go back to pitfall or keystone kappers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inky #24 Posted February 4, 2002 I play a lot of Stargate/Defender II. On the 7800 I ALWAYS play Xevious. I actually like the 78 Xevious better than the arcade game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utamav91 #25 Posted February 4, 2002 On the 2600 emulator, it's Pete Rose baseball. On the 2600 real thing, it's surround or double dunk or pole position. On the 7800, it's the DrJ-Larry Bird One-on-One game. quote: Originally posted by Inky: I play a lot of Stargate/Defender II. On the 7800 I ALWAYS play Xevious.
