Thank you all!

 

The list has been updated to 153.

For my 150th review, I covered the iconic Missile Command. 

Not sure what I'll do when I reach 200. 

Maybe Skeet Shoot... ;)

🎉👏🥂 It’s pretty amazing how long and how many 2600 games you’ve reviewed @nosweargamer  As a relatively recent subscriber, you’re a gold mine of fun Atari content. Thanks for continuing to produce great content. 

Thank you and you're very welcome! What's crazy is I still have around 100 more in my collection to review! 😲

@nosweargamer Your ranking system is ingenious. I first found you on youtube about 6 months ago and have been watching you ever since. You're like a better version of Classic Game Room that still reviews games and doesn't beg for money. Thank you so much for all that you do.

Thanks for posting the list.  Recently got a Retron 77 and started looking for games I never played back in the day.  Happed to find your channel and have been very impressed with the quick reviews you do.  It's refreshing to see a channel that doesn't stretch out everything to ten minutes in order to get monetized.  Keep up the good work.

That's pretty high praise and you're very welcome. I wish I could have half the reach of CGR! While I do have a Patreon account (The small amount of money I do earn allows me to make as many video as do and do contests), I try not to "beg".

You're welcome and enjoy your new system. Yeah, most of my reviews don't last ten minutes as I talk kinda fast, and the just don't need. However some games (especially Intellivision titles) go far beyond the 10 minute mark out of necessity.  The only videos that are regularly 10 minutes are incomplete gameplay videos that actually last longer. I shorten them to ten as I figure they really don't need to be longer than that, unless I was able to complete the entire game.

Talk about standing the test of time! Reviewed during episode 25 and still maintaining a spot in the Top 5. Very impressive!

I find that the more games I review, the harder it is to find new Top 10 games. This is most likely because some of the best games were best sellers that I've already reviewed. Many of the games I have left to review are the more obscure games. I'm still hoping to find some hidden gems that challenge for a top spot!

Haunted House never did much for me. I only learned how to play it a few months ago when I got the manual. The first game mode is too easy for me and the others are just too frustrating.

I'm totally cool with that, although I find there are several gamers who look at you weird if you don't always agree with their opinions and sometimes even take it personally. It's sad that that happens sometimes.

It is a little sad. I look at people weird sometimes, but always as a joke. I'll say something like, "Sega's garbage! Nintendo is better!" or "Tunnel Runner shouldn't be at #63!" but I always respect others' gaming opinions and don't intend to hurt others' feelings and try to communicate that with them afterwards if they feel offended.

With 200+ 2600 games reviewed, have you done a retrospective type look-back at the games reviewed? From the games already reviewed, it might be a fun talking point to pull together a list of hidden gems or a group of games based on other criteria. Just a thought -- feel free to ignore 🙂

I've actually done a few of those, if I'm catching your drift correctly.

For instance, after reviewing 100 games, I made a video of my then ranking.

I also did a top ten hidden gems list

 

And some theme based lists, like games to celebrate back to school season

I do plan to do more in the future as time permits
