Best multiplayer 2600 games!

[HDN]

Atari multiplayer has always been good, simple fun (except Superman). What are some of your favorites?

[nosweargamer]

Off the top of my head:

Basketball

Boxing

Combat

Home Run

Ice Hockey

Pete Rose Baseball

Realsports Volleyball

[TrekMD]

Combat is a classic.  Others that come to mind:  Surround and Dodge'Em.

You guys are forgetting the very best one:  Warlords.

LOL  How true, though I prefer Medieval Mayhem.  😉

Oooh yeah.  I've tried that one at PRGE.  It's fantastic!

We also forgot Indy 500, which is a blast.

Miniature Golf is an underrated game. It's fun single player but more fun with another person. Also Outlaw.

Video Olympics! How could we forget? Ice Hockey with Speed-Up all the way!

And we call ourselves Atari fans.  How did we all forget that one?

I agree with this one.  There's lots to do besides do laps around a go-kart track 😉 

[HDN]

I'm adding a few:

Air/Sea Battle

Space Invaders

For my money Warlords is as good as it gets

Never played Warlords on original hardware strangely. I played it on Atari Anthology on Xbox a while back and didn't care much for it. I bet it would be better with paddles; I felt a similar way about Kaboom before I got the cart. I'll have to pick that up at my local game store the next time I go. Maybe if I'm lucky I can find it CIB for the same price (they do that sometimes there for some reason).

This is true of ALL paddle games.  They aren't even close with a gamepad.

@RickR You are 100% correct. Playing Breakout or Pong-style games on modern consoles is pointless. Paddle games are the #1 reason to get a real Atari 2600-compatible system.
