atari 2600

what's yer favorite old atari game? i love defender, seaquest, ice hockey. shit is classic yo

i got a huge ammount of games and machine in storage somewhere.

all we had was centipede and pole position.

oh and can i say that pitfall is overrated. also GYRUS is a fucking good game too

I liked pinball (Midnight Magic) and Joust. And combat was good too.

some of my favorites, hard to limit it to a couple:

adventure

video pinball

raiders of the lost ark

must mention food fight for the 7800 though

ET...

Joust!

Adventure was genius! The title says it all. Great key collecting, dragon avoiding, maze navigating, the list goes on

dizzy egg

harrier jump jet

moon buggy

jetset willy

burgler

Pitfall

Circus Atari which had AMAZING sound effects

Demon Attack

Defender

Asteroids

Was seaquest the one where you were a dolphin? If so I liked that one a lot.

Also Pitfall II was awesome, took adventure games to the next level.

I also have vague memories of this game called swordquest (it might have been a series) where you'd scroll around a world not unlike Adventure but in certain rooms you had to complete a test in order to obtain various items. I remember it being fun but I was too young to understand the strategy/objectives

I liked many of them but i don't remember their names, from the ones posted, defender, pitfall, i remember one that was a little car on the moon or something.

I also had one of those cartridges that had a lot of games in it and you chose the game with a combination of switches on it, that was awesome.

i can remember the cheat for twin bullets on space invaders

Mario Bros.

My all-time favourite Atari 2600 game: Subterranea!

Also, Desert Falcon for the 7800 was total win:

There was another game much like desert falcon but it was a space ship or combat plane or something inside a base.

combat

nightdriver

pitfall

You're thinking of the classic SEGA arcade game, Zaxxon:

in seaquest you were a submarine and you shot enemy submarines and sharks and rescued scuba divers... all this while maintaining your oxygen level

aha, I seem to remember that, kinda like river raid except under water.

actually now that I think about it the game where you were a dolphin was called "dolphin"
