HDN Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Atari multiplayer has always been good, simple fun (except Superman). What are some of your favorites? Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDN Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Miniature Golf is an underrated game. It's fun single player but more fun with another person. Also Outlaw. Justin, socrates63 and nosweargamer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 For my money Warlords is as good as it gets Retro_Club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Just now, Justin said: 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. Retro_Club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 @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. Retro_Club and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
