1. Armor Ambush (2 players)
2. Indiana Jones
3. Fishing Derby (2 players)
4. Race/Indy 500 (2 players)
5. Keystone Capers
6. Pitfall
7. River Raid
8. Missile Command (2 players)
9. Adventure
10. E.T.

Honorable Mention: Airlock (cheesy but it's tough!), Cosmic Ark, Demon Attack.

Armor Ambush, Fishing Derby, and Race/Indy 500 are probably the most underrated games for the 2600 IMO. The others (except Indiana Jones) I am more unsure about.

Thanks!

Very interesting lists. Enduro and River Raid occupy the top two spots on both lists, which I wouldn't have expected. :)

Yeah, I should probably update it, since there have been ~25 new "ballots" submitted since the last update. :) I've just been lazy, but I'll get around to it sometime soon. ;)
