Pitfall! 2 is one of my favs in my collection

[godzillajoe]

Millipede is probably my favorite because the gameplay is fantastic

 

Just got the Conquest Of Mars homebrew and am having a lot of fun with that one as well.

 

Also Jawbreaker and Demolition Herby have been getting a lot of play time.

 

The Go Fish! homebrew is also highly recommended. It hypnotizes you. It's that damn music!

 

Still looking for that Easter Egg!

If you don't already have them:

 

1) Montezuma's Revenge (Parker Bros).

 

2) Crazy Climber (Atari).

 

3) Miner 2049er I & II.

5) Frankenstein's Monster (Data Age).

The top 5 games that I played back in the day would be:

 

1. Kaboom!

2. Ice Hockey

3. Turmoil

4. Defender II

5. Pitfall

 

And if you are playing in an emulator on your PC, I highly recommend using a Stelladapter (with Kaboom! and the other paddle games especially), it works great.

[whowantschips]

i would be surprised if i was the only one, but circus atari is at the top of my list. i've lost hours with that game.

[MetalSlime23]

My favorite still is and always will be Super Breakout

 

Thre's just something so addicting to bouncing that little ball around.

[+atari2600land]

Pole Position is the best game in my collection of 51, both in good graphics and playability. Mind you 51 isn't all that many compared to most people on this board.

[Cybergoth]

The best classic game in my collection is H.E.R.O.

[Gregory DG]

E.T.

[Rick Weis]

ADVENTURE!!!! best of all games!

 

Rick

[Lord Helmet]

I couldn't pick a best. I have a group of classics that get regular play. Most of them are the Atari slilver label era arcade translations.

 

As far as homebrew and hackbrews go, I play alot of Star Fire, Ladybug, Hack-Em, and Wolfenstein.

[liveinabin]

Mine's a homebrew - Fall Down. That gets played way more than anything else. It's also a superb game for two players.

[vdub_bobby]

Jr. Pac-Man

 

Thrust+ if you include homebrews.

[Opo Terser]

NO ESCAPE, hands down, an amazing game.

 

or possibly Kaboom or Sneak'n Peak

[The_Laird]

Solaris!

 

Defender 2 takes second place!

[gamme]

My favorite still is and always will be Super Breakout

 

Thre's just something so addicting to bouncing that little ball around.

 

 

I can agree with that. I need to play more.
