Hands down, it has to be Stun Runner and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I had fun with the Indy game; I played it back at the North Carolina State Fair in 1993. While all the kids were crowded around Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, I spent the afternoon playing the Indiana Jones game...which for some reason had 20+ credits on it. Of course, it was hard to play with the live turkey shoot that was going on close by.

Only saw one mention of Atari's best game ever, I-Robot. It is sweet, and I would love to have an arcade cabinet.

After I-Robot, the list goes:

2. Battlezone
3. Crystal Castles
4. Star Wars
5. Millipede

Tempest
Galaga
Star Wars
Arkaniod

Mappy
Joust
Donkey Kong
Ms. Pac Man

But when it comes to Atari only, Pong, Tempest Zybots, Gravitar, Kangaroo.
And I Robot was ahead of it's time.
