Well, for what its worth here are some of my all time favorite 2600 games (avoiding as many BIG names as possible, and trying to get some obscure picks.) Quadrun (one of the few rare games that is REALLY awesome.) Entombed (one of the BEST two player games I've EVER played.) Space Master X-7 (one of my all time favorite shooters, gets REALLY fast) Flash Gordon (aka atari 800 spiders from mars,) a really excellent improvement on the defender concept Turmoil - pure frantic joy Beany Bopper, Worm War One - Humor, strategic shooting challenge AND speed/reflex Tapeworm - EXCELLENT update on the classic snake game Fast Food or Taz, prefereablly fast food - one of the best reflex games, right up there with kaboom Cross Force - awesome, and very unique shooter EVERYTHING IMAGIC MADE, PERIOD. Imagic ruled. Space War - The original classic one on one space battle Star Ship - it's old, it's odd, but I STILL love it, and its got a LOT of unique two player games Stellar Track - Portable old skool star trek gaming goodness, strategy on the go 3d tic tac toe this would be a fun link game Krull - one of the greatest movie based games ever, and a nice 2600 technical achievement too Stargate/Defender II - amazing! every arcade level, and near arcade perfect, a real 2600 milestone midnight magic (preferably,) or video pinball if u cant get midnight. both really fun pinball games SOLARIS!!! It must be!!! Indy 500 or sprintmaster great overhead racing, fun multiplayer Night Driver nice twitch game, very old skool Fatal Run nice drive n shoot Radar Lock - the closest the 2600 ever came to afterburner, and in some ways has batter gameplay Klax - pure puzzle satisfation at least one of the homebrew tetris games, preferably the multi player one Desert Falcon - just to show that 3d iso metric can be done on the 2600 kung fu master - very nice arcade adaption Inflitrate - elevator actionesque fun Solar Fox - just plain awesome, better than the arcade, imho Mountain King - great music, and an awesome, deep platform game ya just gotta have the original smurf game! :) Cosmic Swarm is a very unique strategy shooter, lotta fun Frankenstein's Monster - neat atmosphere and great challenege Warplock/Encounter at L-5 - ugly, but severly underrated shooters, game play saves them Dark Cavern - the best maze shooter ive ever played Tapper - great conversion and really impressive for the 2600 Tac-Scan another classic 2600 shooter that I liked better than the arcade Planet Patrol - fun multi wave scrolling shooter Super Cobra - dont ask me why, but I still love the 2600 version ALL the starpath games :) Jawbreaker - the BEST pac-man variant I've ever played. Threshold - Better than megamania?? I think SO! Commando Raid - Classic Sabotage goodness Spike's Peak/Ghost Manor - very challenging, and lots of screens, and very unique game play and a female protaganist! - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
