Food Fight is my favorite on the 7800. Xevious is a very nice port and fun to play as well.

Food Fight is my favorite, followed closely by Bob's wonderful Pac Man Collection. I like the 2-player Asteroids too.

It's a shame that some of them are so hard to find, this makes it difficult for players to try them out. I know that collectors usually have the rare one's but people that just play don't usually drop the kind of money some of these games go for. Some of you guys mention Fatal Run but even that is pretty hard to find and expensive. You're looking at around 20-something for a cart only and about 50 for a CIB.

Midnight Mutants, Ninja Golf, Fatal Run, Xenophobe. All equally kick ass. Commando and Ikari warriors are really good as well. And Food Fight never gets old, for sure.

Food Fight is by far my favorite 7800 game. Other than the XE version I don't know of another machine that has a home port of it. I'm also a huge fan of 7800 Centipede, Asteroids, Robotron, Galaga, and Ball Blazer. Actually pretty much all the arcade ports are very well done. Even Rampage is enjoyable despite its "Muppet Babies" look to the monsters. 
lol..the monsters in Rampage do look kinda like muppet babies.

Of the old stuff: Commando, Xevious, Desert Falcon, Robotron, Ninja Golf and Xenophobe.
Of course, with all of the awesome homebrews I would have to add Jr Pac, Super Pac, Space Duel, Moon Cresta and Failsafe, And Beef Drop. And, uh, Pac Man Collection. And...
Aw hell, just add all of the homebrews. Seriously, is the 7800 turning into the highest quality homebrew console ever or what?

Commando
Food Fight
Robotron 2084
Galaga
Centipede
Xevious [even though I suck]
Asteroids [ though it kinda sucks] Pretty sad most of them are old rehashed games.
Looking forward to getting Plutos and Sirius in the near future.
I would guess IM will become my favorite as that is the one and only reason I bought a 7800, a custom cart with the game fix is in the works.
Many of the other 7800 games are just 'eh, 'uh or lame to me.
Got 3 games in today from a forum member who was kind enough to meet with me [ thanks again]
Sentinel , Interesting oddity, fun shooter ,but repetitious.
Ninja Golf, Feels unfinished , but the pleasant surprise of the 3 !
Ikari Warriors, I dont get all the hoo-haa... This has nothing on commando or any other army game on any other system..short shooting range, easy to get killed., forget it....
Alien Brigade is on its way... I am hoping its not a turd !
Planet smashers , in the works but I hear its a dud... though it seems to be one I would like for some reason could make my list of likes...
Good and bad games on every Atari system... I think the limited list of games makes the 7800 a one or two trick pony... Gimme a 5200 any day.

This question is too tough. All in all, there are 7 that unquestionably have staying power from my youth until now-
BallBlazer
Xevious
Dig Dug
Food Fight
Joust
Centipede
Galaga
