Then shouldn't the poll title be, "Which of these games that vdub_bobby enjoyed on his A8 would you like to see on the 2600?".

Seriously... Slinky? :ponder:

I loved Murder on the Zinderneuf, but how the hell could you do it on the 2600? 64K game maybe? Even then, no way. I want the same number of possible mysteries or it wouldn't be the game at all.

Please prove wrong though.

Sounds like a challenge :D

Well, I think I never played any title on Bobs list, so I've no clue what's possible or what's not :lol:

How have you lived this long without knowing the joys of Hard Hat Mac?

Half-way off-topic: in keeping with some recent threads/blog-entries, maybe make the next poll a list of which early and/or flawed 2600 games should be rewritten and updated?

Suggested list:

Combat
Maze Craze
Indy 500
Canyon Bomber
Warlords
Steeplechase
Miniature Golf
Circus Atari
Missile Command
Video Chess
Boxing
Grand Prix
Donkey Kong
Airlock
Karate
Towering Inferno
Burgertime
Bump 'n' Jump
Tutankham
Super Cobra
Q*Bert
Congo Bongo
King Kong
Miner 2049er
Quest for Quintana Roo

Others...?

EDIT: A few others:
Adventure
Laser Blast

How about Squish 'Em? Great game, easier to play than Crazy Climber.
