Hey guys just tell us you're favorite and least favorite games. Tell us why, if you got time!

Best: Yars' Revenge
Because this game is very good and I can get far in it.

Worst: Football
Because it's confusing and only 2 player.

[theloon]

Best:
Adventure - Emergent gameplay.
Custer's Revenge - Historically accurate

Worst:
whatever-world series - Useless without documentation.
E.T. - Probably frustrating even WITH the instructions

Years Revenge is definitely one of the best, but I have to disagree about Football being among the worst. Yes, the graphics are pretty laughable and it sucks that it's two player only, but the game is actually a lot of fun to play!

Best: Super Cobra
because it's an excellent Scramble follow-up and I can complete it on 'slow', 'medium' and 'fast'.

Worst: Sssnake
because it is the worst.

The best: Falldown, Bee-ball. Cave 1k...

you get it right? These came up right from my mind... you understand? Thšese the top game for the 2600.


The worst: many of them... in fact nearly all of them.. crapy.. most people cannot code.. and Atari 2600 shows that clearly...

[maiki]

Super Cobra? no way.. the horizontal scrolling is understandably choppy and there is absolutely no sence to put such a gme on a top list for 2600.. think before you post... thank you

Oh, irony.

[GideonsDad]

Presently:

Favorite - Blackjack (it's primitive but it's addictive and fun)
Worst - Not certain. I tend to enjoy a lot of "bad" games others dismiss.

Ik, I actually like Football now. I had a friend over and we played it and I whooped him. E.T is the worst now

[high voltage]

Another ace game is Amidar, again I'm one of the few who can actually play it

Worse: Pac Kong

Yo Maiki hope you dont fall off such a high pedestal for you might hurt your massive ego. Some people actually like to play bad games and some might actually have an opinion different from you, strange I know so lay off. Ok my vote, best games Hero, Solaris and Defender 2, worst games SSSSnake, Skeet Shoot and Great Escape

[jvgs]

Best: Moon Patrol.
It's a great side-scroller with a lot of things going on at once. Shooting enemies above you, avoiding their shots, jumping over pits/mines, shooting/jumping over rocks, watching out for the enemies whose shots will create pits in front of you. It's fun and action-packed. And it actually has background music that I like, which is rare for a 2600 game.

Worst: SwordQuest: FireWorld
Nonsensical gameplay (leave certain items in certain rooms) that opens up "clues" in a required comic book that doesn't really help. Which clue makes the game enjoyable? And the mini-games are awful. I could tolerate some of the mini-games in EarthWorld, but I can't stand the ones in FireWorld.

[littleman jack]

Personal opinion, of course:
Best: Seawolf
Worst: Mountain King

[opeygon]

E.T. was the shit back in the day! I enjoyed that game for many years in the 80's. I get tired of people bagging on it. Dam kids!!! When games like E.T. and Pac Man first hit the home market they were really something else. Nowadays all I hear is negative feedback about a lot of classic 2600 titles. Back then we had little else to play at home. You kids today are spoiled and should learn to keep your criticisms to your self. Especially when you know not of what you speak.

[opeygon]

As for my favs....Video Olympics, Dark Cavern, Atlantis, Kaboom!, Pitfall II, Turmoil, Cosmic Ark, Defender, Q Bert, Berzerk....well too many to name really.

As for worst...I really don't have any to list, as I guess I like just about every game I own. And I own around three hundred at this point.

[PitfallHarry2600]

Best:Pitfall, Missile Command, Moon Patrol

Worst:Amidar, Pac-Kong, RealSports Sucker... I mean Soccer

[2600Lives]

That Maiki is probably just a troll account. Note the bad Engrish and random thought structure of the posts. Go Go Gadget Ignore Button!

Best - Yar's Revenge, Adventure, Pitfall!, River Raid, Berzerk, Ms. Pac-Man, Kaboom!

Worst - E.T., Pac-Man, Airlock, any Mythicon or Froggo game.

Hated E.T. as a kid, will always and forever hate it. I played the FUCK out of Pac-Man after I got it, but realized after a while how bad it was. Went back to playing Yar and left Pac-Man to the dust bunnies.

[Tinman]

Best (the games I played most often): Adventure, Starmaster, Space Invaders, Pitfall!, Warlords
Worst (but I still loved them): Superman, Pac-Man, Star Raiders, Football
Worst (just bad): E.T., Swordquest - Earthworld

[GideonsDad]

Why all this hate for Pac-Kong? Wait...oh yeah...that's why.

[Tony The 2600]

I will support ET along with many other games, the game was sort of like adventure when you understand how to play the game. I used to play it alot and still dont mind a game every now and then. The only time i found out anything bad about it was when the internet came along.

Games like code breaker(i owed it ), that sorta stuff i think are the worse games and helped cause the crash. That game was my bigest disapointment when you bring a game home thinking its going to be good but was a number game.

As for a favorite i have too many to decide what would be the best, but ones i played as a kid would be on the list besides code breaker.

Relax it's a discussion with personal opinions, not an argument.
