[Adventure (Atari 2600)]

There's actually a bug in the game that you can do to prevent the bat from taking things from you.

 

Unlock the yellow castle and make sure it's empty. Then give the bat an item that you won't need for the rest of the game. Grab the bat as he has that item, and bring him to the yellow castle. Enter the castle and let go of him. If done right, the bat will fly through the castle in a loop, and never come out unless you bring an item into it fr him to grab. You won't have to enter the castle again until the end, when you bring the chalice into it. The bat will fly for the chalice when you enter the castle with it, just like it will for any item, but it will be too latenfor him to screw you over, as you will have completed the game already.

 

And don't feel bad about thinking the dragons look like ducks, because everybody thinks that. ;-)

[Playing The Atari]

Battlezone is a fun first person shooter on the 2600. I think you'd like it.

 

Adventure is a fun game that a lot of people think might have inspired the original Legend of Zelda game. You get to explore dungeons, castles, and catecombs, to find a magic chalice that was stolen by an evil magician, and you must collect items to aid you on your quest. One of the items is a sword, which you must use to kill the three dragons sent by the magician. You can also collect keys to unlock castles. There's a bat that will steal items from you. You can also only hold one item at a time, adding a challenge.

 

Yars' Revenge is one of the best games for the 2600.

 

Jungle Hunt is a favorite of mine.

 

Pitfall is a classic that I'm sure you'd enjoy.

 

Ms. Pacman.

 

Jr. Pacman.

 

Asteroids.

 

Many, many games.
