What games either arcade coin-ops, sequels or original, do you wish they would have released for the Atari 2600, but never did ?

To get things started, here are some of my picks:

Asteroids Deluxe
Haunted House 2
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Pac-Man Plus
Space Invaders 2
Swordquest Airworld
Yars Revenge 2

[Jr. Pac]

Super Pac-Man
Pac'n'Pal
Ms. Pac-Man Arcade ()
Railz

[zylon]

Sprintmaster with Driving Controller support.

I always talk about Zoo Keeper, but have to second Super Pac as well. Others I'd love to see:

War of the Worlds
NBA Jam
Bagman
Tempest
Zektor
Food Fight
Aliens - side scrolling beat 'em up
AvP
Tutankham arcade
Turtles

...these could all be Supercharger games

Mike Ditka's Ultimate Football
Rugby
Kikstart
Paperboy
Oregon Trail
Leaderboard Golf (Mean 18 on the 7800 is a great substitute)
Hardball
BC Quest for Tires
Break Dancing
Jumpman
Lemmings
Outrun
Press Your Luck (too cheesy?)

Is my C= 64 bias too obvious?

[Schizophretard]

More paddle games and paddle support for all games possible like Space Invaders.
Games for the trackball.
A sequel to Atari Video Cube called Atari Lament Configuration.
Games based on things from childhood(Garbage Pail Kids, Mad Balls, My Pet Monster...)

I also wish paddles worked with Space Invaders.

Bubbles, as someone else mentioned, would be a good one. I would use the trackball to play it instead of the joystick. For some reason Williams made it a joystick game...

Here are some others:

Death Race - would prefer to use the driving controller. However, two buttons are required to go forward and reverse. I suppose if it could be written where the car could just spin 360 to get out of a corner or tombstone that would work. B/W graphics like the original.

Magical Spot II
Spiders
Astro Fighter
Pac-Man Turbo
Tail Gunner - using a trackball
Space Launcher
Smokey Joe - driving controller
Stratovox
Cutie Q - paddle game
Radar Scope
Tunnel Hunt - using a trackball
Cheeky Mouse
Starship 1 - trackball
Satan of Saturn
Datsun 280 Zzzap - paddle
MegaTack
Sky Raider - trackball
Eagle
Guided Missile
Space Firebird

Alright, if someone could get to work on this list and send me a PM when they're ready to go that would be great...

Never played Death Race, but isn't Zombie Chase kind of like it?

Games that need paddle/driving controller revisions made:

Enduro
Pole Position
Galaxian
Crackpots
Demon Attack
Space Invaders
No Escape!
Spider Fighter
