Solaris.

 

I will pick that thing up on impulse and thought playing it without really even thinking about it. I love that game.

Pressure Cooker for me Im a restaurant cook (as well as a scool bus driver) and the game is darn close to a typical night in the kitchen in July

Ditto. Other addictive games:

• Enduro
  
• Astroblast
  
• Stellar Track
  

Don't ask me about the Intellivision, though. You might get a list FAR longer than you wanted.

 

 

Additions (Updated as I think of them!):

• Centipede
  
• Outlaw
  
• Combat (bi-planes)
  
• Shuttle Orbiter
  
• Bump and Jump

[Recycled]

Kaboom!

 

Solar Fox

[Inky]

Bowling.

 

I also can't resist playing Phoenix & Midnight Magic.

 

 

I still cannot believe how fun Bowling is today. Whenever I hook the ol 7800, I always give that one a whirl.

 

I have to say I'm also addicted to Buck Rogers.

[Urchlay]

River Raid... addicted for 20+ years

 

More recently, Man Goes Down.

[n8littlefield]

For me it's Dragonfire. I always think if I try one more time I'll get to that next dragon. It's always been one of my favorites. I also find basically any of the tennis games addicting as well.

[Dauber]

Crackpots does it for me.

 

Demon Attack, too.

[jpfalcon2003]

Crystal Castles, Stargate, Millipede, Jr. Pac-Man, Road Runner, and Off The Wall. Can't resist trying to continually beat my previous scores.

[ATARIPITBULL]

Right now "Wolfenstein VCS".

 

[pocketmego]

Right now "Wolfenstein VCS".

 

 

Yes, it would be stupid of me not to mention Hunchy and A-VCS-TEC Challenge as current addictions, and trying to find the secret level in Wolfenstein.

LOTS of games, too many to list. One of the reasons I collect the 2600 is for the large number of games I really like on the system. I seldom have a set of games that stay the same, rather, I tend to focus on a group of games for six months or so and move on. Currently, it's Raiders (heh), Stellar Track and Xenophobe. Six months or so ago, it was Lazer Gates, Subterannea, Phoenix and Star Fire.

 

One of the great things about collecting is the sheer variety of great games you get to play.

[JacobZu7zu7]

From past to present, I think these rate the most.

Might not look so pretty;

 

E.T.

Adventures Of Tron

Dark Cavern

Pac-man

Mrs. Pac-man

Centipede

Defender

Krull

Othello

Pitfall

Porky's

Tutankham

Stampede

Yar's Revenge

 

Paddle -

 

Super Breakout

GI Joe Cobra Strike

Demons To Diamonds

Circus Atari

Amen to that BROTHER!!!

 

More and more addictive games keep coming to my mind to add to the list. The sheer quantity of good games on the 2600 truly does outweigh the bad and that is something a lot of systems can't boast even today.

Whenever I play the 2600, I must play an Activision game. My favorites right now are Grand Prix & Freeway. I like most Activision games. Apart from Activision, it'd be Frogger and Asteroids.

[Starhopper]

It really depends on my mood. H.E.R.O. and either Pitfall! for Activision games.
