dauber Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Wow...this is just too hard to come up with 10. I'll mention 10 but they're in no particular order: - Jr. Pac-Man -- IMHO, the best officially-sanctioned arcade port on the 2600! - Yars' Revenge -- because, come on! - Lady Bug -- awesome homebrew. Seriously, play this and then play the arcade version - you'll barely be able to tell the difference. - Pitfall! -- an instant classic. I do NOT like Pitfall 2, though. - River Raid -- another instant classic. - Demon Attack -- one of two games in which I was able to find a kill screen back in the '80s! (The other: The Activision Decathlon) - Space Invaders -- of the versions I've played (2600, 5200, 7800 homebrew, arcade) -- this is easily my favorite. - Communist Mutants From Space -- a semi-hidden gem in the library! So much fun. - Space Rocks -- another amazing homebrew. It takes the things that can make the official 2600 Asteroids boring and makes 'em...uhh...unboring? I guess??? - Video Pinball -- I even like this better than Midnight Magic -- but wow..so much fun and strategy in this one. It's a very frequent go-to when I want to play some 2600 stuff.

Just curious if you have a CV with that version of Ladybug? If so, how does the 2600 version stack up to that one? I’m with you on Video Pinball > Midnight Magic too. What don’t you like about Pitfall II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess??? - I just now tried "Space Rocks" on Harmony, and OMG....it is just awesome. I think I need to re-do my list. Starbuck66 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What don’t you like about Pitfall II? I don't have a CV, never did. Most I ever saw of it was as a floor model at Montgomery Ward. Pitfall II -- the checkpoints kind of annoy me...way too far apart...and the neverending music gets on my nerves. Starbuck66 1 Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not.
