All you guys talk about all the games you have and i was just wondering what one you think is the most fun to play.

[liveinabin]

At the moment I've got my head stuck in Ginfight but usually its Video Olympics or Combat - the 2 simplest games on the system yet 2 of the most compelling.

[Mountain King]

Hmm... Thats a tough one. I usually go through stints. I'll be really in the mood to play a particular game and play it for a month or so and then move on to another game. I'm the same way with food an music too.

GINFIGHT? Sounds like a drinking game!


Yeah, its all about the groove. Right now I'm in a Pete Rose Baseball groove, I play about 3 games a day. I pepper that with Jungle Hunt and Venture, among others.

[King Atari]

I also get into "grooves". However, the game that constantly gets played (I guess I have the permanent groove for it) is definitely Xenophobe (you saw that one a mile away, didn't you?). Dark Chambers is another that gets played constantly.

[Uncle Duke]

Asteroids, all the way... Currently got a 43400 score, which is probably a sad score to you guys, but I just started keeping a score sheet, and I havent got around to beating that last score yet. I just cant get really into alot of the 2600 games like Asteroids, I love to collect them but when it comes down to it, I cant play a 2600 game for many hours straight, (unless its Asteroids ) But I do enjoy playing them and hacking them and collecting them.

[pitfallaimee]

I enjoy a good round of Turmoil or Jungle Hunt at least once a day, and sometimes I throw Pitfall 2 or River Raid into the mix.

[popeal]

For me, it's usually Ms Pac-Man, Pitfall II, Masters of the Universe (was a big He-Man fan back in the day, although, I love the Intellivision version better), and Asteroids.

The game I play the most is Super Breakout. It's a simple concept. You control a paddle and bounce a ball off it into some bricks. I'm addicted to Breakout. It's a very fun game. But eventually Breakout got too easy for me. So I went out and got Super Breakout which is even better.
I also play Asteroids, Galaxian, Adventure, and Raiders of the Lost Ark a lot also.

[eric_ruck]

My most played classic game isn't on an Atari, sorry. It's Solar Quest on the Vectrex. I keep a Vectrex in my office for emergency game breaks.

For me, a quick game of Dodge-em (both switches on 'A') is always a great challenge (537 is my high score). I always have a favorite game of the week, this week it's Mr. Do's Castle (which is quite fun I might add...).

Of course, a game of Pete Rose Baseball is never too far away... Stan - have you beaten the computer yet? I'd love to play that game (and Double Dunk) against a human opponent sometime...

[Fretwobbler]

Frostbite is getting some pretty heavy treatment at the moment - I'm desperately trying to beat the 1 million mark - so far I'm upto just over 890,000 (and thats still a million off twin Galaxies recorded high score!!!!)

[StanJr]

Yes, JohnnyWC, I am finally beating the computer on Pete Rose. I just played an amazing game winning 16-7. Other victories have been closer, this was my first blowout. I've been playing this game heavily for the past week. I too want to play it against a human some day. Its almost impossible to get a triple against the computer.

Finally a winner! Stan

I would have to agree with you that the Intellivision version of Masters of the Universe is much better

On topic, I have been playing Jr. Pac-Man most but I'm trading it to StanJr.
I guess I will have to find a new favorite, although that won't be too hard

[liveinabin]

I can't believe I typed Ginfight! Sounds a pretty slow game to me

Masters of the Universe?? Is that how creep boy got your attention?...
"Hi aimee, I'm Adam, prince of Eternia - fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword...etc.."

[ATARIPITBULL]

Hey livinabin, are you talking about playing gunfight while drinking Gin, if so that sounds like fun to me, just ad some Orange juice to mine please.

I also go through stints. Recently I have been playing Boing and Skate Boardin' the most.

[Osmeroid]

I have had a bit of a thing for Demons to Diamonds & Frostbite for the last few months. Can't stop playing these two.

[MattyXB]

As child I have often play: Dragonfire, Asterix, Bobby geht nach Hause, Keystone Kapers, Indy 500, Frogger, Q*bert. And many more.

[jahfish]

i would gereralise ....

when i was a kid, it was always the most advanced one that fascinated me ... so from the vcs2600 i immediately jumped to the c64 and never played consoles again.....

i was always more into arcades. beeing french, i could - for a very long time - use 20 centimes coins (about 2-3 cents) instead of the regular 1 Mark coins (1/2 dollar). so it was a cheap fun for me .... i just had to change the locations where i play more often, not be suspected.

there's another trick i remember, but let's make a separate post in the arcade section:

dirty tricks on arcades

[iguana]

It depends if I am solo or not. if I am then I like Adventure and Stampeed and Kaboom. 2 player though you can not beat Armor ambush or realsports football.

[Malix]

I always seem to go back to pitfall or keystone kappers

[Inky]

I play a lot of Stargate/Defender II. On the 7800 I ALWAYS play Xevious. I actually like the 78 Xevious better than the arcade game.

[utamav91]

On the 2600 emulator, it's Pete Rose baseball. On the 2600 real thing, it's surround or double dunk or pole position. On the 7800, it's the DrJ-Larry Bird One-on-One game.
