Well, as some of y'all know, I keep an ongoing ranking of the 2600 games I review. After 230+ games, here's my current top ten:

1)    Adventure 
2)    Pitfall! 
3)    Yars' Revenge 
4)    Ice Hockey 
5)    Haunted House 
6)    Ms. Pac-Man 
7)    River Raid 
8 )   Dig Dug  
9)    Demon Attack 
10)    Space Invaders 
 

Woah dude! It's so cool that@nosweargamer found my thread! Love your show, dude, though Ice Hockey at number four? That's an interesting choice. I'd say it's mediocre at best. But seriously, keep up the good work, man!

Hey there, everyone! It's me, HDN! I'm new here at Atari.io and I would love to get to know the community! And what better way to know the 2600 community than by asking everyone what some of their favorite games for the system? I'll start with mine. I have a few picks that you might not expect:

 

10. Outlaw

9. Venture

8. Miniature Golf

7. Space Invaders

6. Pitfall II: the Lost Caverns

5. Q*bert

4. Moon Patrol

3. Donkey Kong

2. Pac-Man

1. Tunnel Runner

 

So that's my list. I would love to hear about some of your favorite games as well. Please list them below and happy gaming!

[Did you think Atari 2600 Pac-Man was bad when you first got it?]

I wasn't around when Pac-man on VCS was new, but I've always rather enjoyed it. Maybe its weirdness is why I keep coming back to it. I'd say it's in my top five on the system.

Welcome to Atari I/O Harry! Great to have you here! Did you find us through @nosweargamer? We love having a fellow retro game fan and nintendo nerd in the forums! 

Indeed I did!

[Hello everybody!]

Hey everyone! My name is Harry. I  received and repaired two Atari 2600s (4-switch woody & vader) back in March and have been quarantining with them ever since. I have always loved the 2600 and was ecstatic to finally get one. I recently picked up a physical cart of my favorite game, Tunnel Runner! I am a huge retro game fan and Nintendo nerd and I am delighted to be part of Atari.io!

That would have to be Popeye! Pretty impressive game for the 2600 and a lot of challenging fun!

Popeye is a wonderful nintendo game that has sadly been lost to time. I have to get the 2600 cart someday.

That would have been my personal favorite, Tunnel Runner!
