HDN Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 My favorite game to play on Halloween that's on the Atari 2600? Well, that's easy. Shocker alert! It's Tunnel Runner again! My favorite 2600 game of all-time is even more enjoyable this season than usual, as the Zots (enemies in the game) always jump-scare me! When I was younger, my sister and I used to scream every time we heard that ominous tune... dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... I first played Tunnel Runner around the Fall season. To me, this game will always be the most special around the Halloween and Thanksgiving season. Thanks, @nosweargamer for hosting another wonderful giveaway! One of these brought me over to the site, and hopefully this too will bring more members to our Atari I/O community.

nosweargamer Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just to clarify, when I say this time of year, it can refer to anything from fall, including Halloween, Baseball, Football or whatever. 🧟♂️🍁🥧🏈 socrates63, briggsy911, Justin and 1 other 3 1 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampage Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'll pre-empt the winter one and say "Frostbite" 🙂 For Halloween - Haunted House since I had it as a kid, but I do like Frankenstein's Monster a lot now that I've played it nosweargamer, Justin, socrates63 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm going with "Sky Diver" because nothing says "Fall" like jumping out of a plane. socrates63, nosweargamer, Justin and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarosone14 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I would have to go with Ice Hockey by Activision. It's a great game year round but especially now when hockey season usually starts in October.

RockyRaccoon Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Tunnel Runner or Escape from the Mind Master are always good 'I'm being chased/spooky' games for Halloween to me to play! I use an UNO Cart to run the rom for Mindmaster as I don't have a Supercharger to actually play it on. For general fall I like Miniature Golf a little!

socrates63 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm surprised that I never associated playing certain games with the time of the year 🤔 With this giveaway, I am going to fix that. I'm going with American football 🏈 and will play the original Football for the 2600 in all its 4 on 4 smash mouth glory. It'll be a new tradition. I haven't played it since the early 80s. I also picked up Backyard Football from GoodDealGames recently, and this gives a very good reason to play it.

I assume the team names are "Shell" vs. "Chevron". nosweargamer, briggsy911, socrates63 and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 The blocky players always reminded me of cartoon illustrations of football players from way back like the 60s, but I see where you're coming from, Rick -- very close resemblance 🤣 briggsy911, rampage, RickR and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGottaGame Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 My favorite Atari 2600 game… This is actually something that I’ve given a lot of thought to. The game I thoroughly remember the most when I was growing up was the game stampede, for the longest time this was my favorite game. Now that I take a serious long thought about it it still stands up today as one of my favorites on the Atari 2600. :) briggsy911, Justin, nosweargamer and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisperingloon Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 The game that this time of year makes me think of is ET. I don’t know why. Maybe because of the whole running in the forest element? I mean the forest is lush and green, not autumny at all... but the movie always felt like fall to me, and I think it transferred over to the game. socrates63, nosweargamer, HDN and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thank you @nosweargamer. PM is incoming. My plan is to play those games during this fall season, and regift them to a local friend who does not have any of them. The gum will be chewed and not regifted.
