I would like to see some of the Ultima series on the 2600. I like to see some of the NES games on the system.

Metroid
Kid Icarus
The Goonies
Life Force
Contra

I just remembered why I thought there was a lunar lander on the 2600 back in the day. Isn't one of the minigames in Escape from the Mindmaster a lander?

[littleman jack]

Choplifter, Bosconian, Another Donkey Kong with elevator and pie levels, something like Shamus (800) or Pharaoh's Curse (800), a few more platformers (maybe Jumpman).

I mentioned on another thread that Out Of This World/Another World would be cool.
Also:
Make Trax
An improved Dig Dug
Tron
Star Wars
Astro Fighter
An improved Lock 'N Chase
Bubble Bobble
An improved Kung Fu Master

Star Ship has six Lunar Lander variations. That might have been it (unless you're like me and didn't even know Star Ship existed until the '90s!).

maybe, I know I have it and the instructions. I need to fire it up I guess.

I'd love to see a half-pinball, half-arcade game on the '2600, such as Baby Pac-Man or Granny and the Gators. A Boy and his Blob (the NES version) on the Atari would be a blast to play as well.


@CTF@

I agree more pinball of any kind would be good, the 2600 is well suited for that genre. Also yes to more paddle or driving controller games, why do we have them if not for gaming?

Here's a mostly BS Boy and his Blob (Wii basis lol) mockup I was working on, more like 7800 but I'm going to try to strip it down. I think that game could work, simple controls and fairly moderate sprite needs.
