I would have thought "Defender" would have gotten more love....
Frogger should have been on there somewhere
Moon patrol was rare…but a truly great game.
I remember like it was yesterday when my Mom took me to the mall and purchased Pitfall! for my birthday. I played that game for hours and hours. The Superman game, Haunted House, Atlantis, Kaboom were some of my favorites too. The eighties were fantastic and so were my parents. I miss them both dearly, especially around the holidays.
Has so many hours playing Joust with my cousins - Good time :)
Was always a big fan of Combat myself
Lot's of fun games, but no Defender? I came home with that game and played for nine hours virtually straight.
Pole Position should be on the list. Early racing game. There was also this game with a submarine where you shoot sea creatures and rescue divers. That was a lot of fun. Also, Fishing was a great game and is now a mini game in many modern Zelda games. I would certainly rank those above Yars revenge, hero, and Adventure
Space invaders, missle command, vanguard, frogger, bezerk, phoenix, pitfall, video pinball, demon attack, river raid
My father worked at Atari when I was younger. Our family had all the games and a 2600 in practically every room. Once he came home with a "new" game called Submarine Salvage. You took a submarine deeper into the water to find treasure and trapped sailers while fighting off/avoiding sharks and Squids. You had to do this while making sure you didn't run out of air. Playing that game was by far the most fun we ever had growing up. Not sure why the game was never released to the public.
So glad to see Warlords. I love all these games, and Yars was super inventive, but I never had more fun on a 2600 than playing Warlords with 3 friends, especially with the option to catch the ball with your shield
Besides Pitfall, Decathlon was our favorite. We flipped the joystick sheath so the flared part was on top so we could oscillate it faster. We loved Enduro too.
Keystone Kapers should be on this list. IMO:It's the best Atari 2600 game ever
This video brings back a lot of memories for me. Thank you for making it.
Those are my childhood games. River Raid was so much fun to play!
My dad brought my brother and I the console in 1977….. he picked it up from the hospital gift shop where he worked. I cannot tell you how excited I was as a 6 year old and we sat in front of that tv for hours. I can still remember how my brother and I would periodically look at each other and laugh. It’s a cherished memory.
River Raid was such a cool game! Set it up for Zaxxon..
Loved playing Combat against a friend. Happy days :) Frostbite was good too.
Stumbling across the double fire hack on Space Invaders was one of the greatest moments in my life up to that point lol.
