[Megaman Legends]

simple question no explaining needed


I don't have one too many greats

[Lodmot]

Probably Mario Bros.
The Atari version of that game doesn't really get noticed too often. I myself was shocked when I found out it actually existed.
Also, Midnight Magic is pretty addicting. It also shows off some impressive graphics for the 2600.

One of my favorites is Space Cavern! I really like how you have to shoot the aliens above and the monsters that come from the side.

[Ranthulfr]

Fast Eddie turned out to be a good game. It flew under my radar for a long time.

[Master Phruby]

Space Chase! Because it's a chase in...space!

[Armonigann]

Commavid games just for their oddity.

[high voltage]

Boing!
Sky Skipper
Super Cobra
Amidar
Frogger II
Gangster Alley
Tapeworm

Love all those

[Rex Dart]

I think they've all been heard of.

[Chuck D. Head]

Lost Luggage
Tax Avoiders (worst game idea ever, but i kinda liked it)

[BigO]

Extra Action Space Invaders with paddle control.


Well, that one doesn't actually exist if that's a requirement but it is largely unheard of outside of my head.

[BassGuitari]

Astroblast
Fast Eddie
Cosmic Swarm
Star Ship
Encounter at L-5
Commando Raid

(I'm assuming that by "unheard of" we mean "don't get talked about much.")

[Lucky Man]

Fantastic Voyage
Omega Race
Phaser Patrol
My Golf
Most of the M Network games

I agree, it was always one of my favorites.

[bomberpunk]

all my favorite VCS games have been heard of. at least one other person in the world has played it.

[Curious Sofa]

Fast Eddie, Subterranea, Jawbreaker, Sky Skipper (hey, I hadn't heard of it until a year or two ago)... and Cakewalk

[toptenmaterial]

Enduro

[rmaerz]

There seems to be a couple of things missing here....

[thegoldenband]

A few that come to mind, depending on your threshold of unhearditude:

Artillery Duel
Boxing
Bugs
Krull
Mega Force
Miniature Golf
Motocross
Rescue Terra I
Space War
Time Warp
UFO Patrol

[toiletunes]

Almost all of them are unheard of around my neck of the woods, but I'm doing my part to change all that...

[high voltage]

Glacier Patrol, also a rare game to boot, and quite a good game too.
Another Telegames beauty is Universal Chaos.

Atari Video cube/Rubik's Cube is all I can think of.

[Syntaxerror999]

OMG what a question....

Here's the deal... I'm 33, so I was a but too young to really remember the Atari in its hayday. When I was about 13 my uncle gave me his old Atari which started a collecting hobby. Not having the benefit of the internet all I knew of the game library was what was in the Atari and imagic catalogs he had and what I found in the wild.

So to me many well known games are "unheard of to me". Nevermind games like Custer's revenge,
I'm talking about games like demons to diamonds and Enduro. Hell the only developers I knew of were Atari/Sears, Activision, Imagic, Fox, Parker Bros, Coleco.

Its only been since the last year my Atari love has been rekindled and I'm discovering common titles I've never heard of and I owe it all to atariage!

To answer your question... Enduro

For me, it's No Escape by Imagic. Very, very different gameplay mechanic where you're knocking blocks out of the ceiling, and those blocks destroy the floating enemies. If you hit one directly when trying to knock blocks out, you cause it to multiply.
