ATARIPITBULL Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I think that Space Invaders, Centipede, Asteroids, and Vangard are pretty good copies of the Arcade games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 My favorite silver label game is probably Mario Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I like almost every one of those I have played. Except for Ateroids, I just don't get it. Spin, shoot, spin, shoot, ad nauseum... The Silver Label atari games are my fav (tied with activision games) Silver Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Off of that list, these are the only games i have played in the arcades. the rest of them i either never seen in a arcade or just never put money into to play them Asteroids Centipede Dig Dug (loved it) Galaxian (loved it) Joust (loved it) Jungle Hunt Kangaroo Moon Patrol (loved it) Ms. Pac-man Pole Position Space Invaders Stargate Vanguard (loved it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horax Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hmm... I did only play a few Games at the Arcades, i guess here in Germany it isn´t as popular as in the USA. I always prefered playing games at home. So i haven´t played any of the old Atari-Classics in the Arcades, except for Phoenix (I loved it!). So i can´t say if the Silver-Label Games are good Arcade-Translations, but i can say for sure every one i played so far was a fantastic or at least good 2600- Game on its own! It´s hard to say which is my favourite, i guess i play Joust, Crystal Castles, Phoenix, Jungle Hunt, Moon Patrol and Millipede more than the others...

Albert Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Not to nitpick or anything (which I am doing), but Asteroids and Space Invaders were released in earlier label styles (Asteroids in a Picture label and Space Invaders in a Text label). Both were released later in Silver label variations, but they don't really belong to the same generation as the later silver label releases. I'm guessing if Atari released Asteroids and Space Invaders around the same time as the other silver releases, they probably would have been more refined. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Fave silver label games? Gotta' be #1 Pengo #2 Crazy Climber #3 Ms. Pac-Man Shame the first two are so damn hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+johnnywc Posted February 15, 2002 Author Share Posted February 15, 2002 Albert - I agree with you that Asteroids and Space Invaders are not really "silver" label games. Who knows how good these could have been if they were programmed in the "silver-label era"??? (not to say they aren't good games anyway, especially SI)...
