2600lover Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 I assume you guys would know if River Raid II is better the the first. I looked on atari2600.com (where I get most of my carts) and the screen shots seemed to look more interesting on the 2nd. Just wanted to know what you guys thought.

River Raid II is a lot harder to play. I gave up before I got the hang of it. River Raid (the original) is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Postman Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Pheonix & Planet Patrol are two great games that come to mind. Kaboom! is pretty fun if you like Paddle Controller games. Beat em' and Eat Em' is pretty much the same type of game, but it's for "Adults Only". Edited July 14, 2006 by ResOGlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpup Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Adventure E.T. (Yes, I like E.T.) Dark Chambers Secret Quest (The 2600 "Zelda") Dark Cavern (just started playing recently) Vanguard Pole Position Sprint Master Demons to Diamonds You can always emulate to try before you buy!

vdub_bobby Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 My short list of must-haves. Hm, I'll categorize: Pac-Man Clones: Jr. Pac-Man Shooters: Stargate/Defender II Moon Patrol Beamrider Platformers: Pitfall! Pitfall II Montezuma's Revenge Pseudo-3D Shooters: Solaris Q*bert Clones: Frostbite Paddle Games: Kaboom! Circus Atari Zelda Forerunner: Adventure And, of course, almost all of the homebrews. There's also an aggregate AA opinion, which has produced a pretty nice ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpfalcon2003 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 no unfortunately, I got my Atari at the very end of the life cycle growing up. That was the newest games at the time I got mine. Got a 7800 for Xmas of 1988, almost 1989. Missed alot of the older games for the system. Have been buying them now, especially since I've learned all about them from here.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
