Activision's Beamrider was a great one IMHO., although that was originally an Intellivision game.

Keystone Kapers: Wonderful, fast-paced action and ear-wormy music! Plus that pretty Enduro sunset sky that makes you crave a Bomb Pop! Centipede: The programmers were so smart here! They didn't even bother with graphics, instead they spent their headspace on getting the play and dynamics right! The centipede's de-coupling action when shot is spot on to the arcade version and I truly feel that the joystick is preferable to a track ball for this play. Yars Revenge: Maybe top three all-time favorite 2600 and likely top 10 of any home-video game I've ever played. There are multiple ways to go about winning, and there is an almost haptic pleasure to be gleaned from chomping on the shield with the flyship. Beautiful to look at, and so fun to play! Demon Attack: Clearly inspired by the arcade game Phoenix, I actually think this Demon Attack is the better game. Deceptively easy. Beautifully rendered wing actions. Cosmic Ark: I actually only ever played this back-to-back with Atlantis! For some reason I enjoyed the different challenges.

Solaris is legendary. I played it after The Last Starfighter (I only got to borrow Solaris from a friend at school but had The Last Starfighter for my Atari XE) and I thought it was inspired by TLS. I only found out later how related these games were and what a masterpiece Solaris was to pull off on the 2600. And I only saw the film „The Last Starfighter“ many years later in the 1990s when this already caused nostalgic feelings because then I already had an Amiga.

For lowering difficulty, Unique modes, better controls, or adding features like being able to kill the man himself, evil auto.

You make such good points about the 2600 ports that I wish I would have made in this video, but hopefully people understand that I think a lot of the arcade ports on the system are well worth playing.

I own hundreds (250+) of Atari 2600 games and have played every game via Emulation that I couldn't find. The single most fun game today that even Zoomers will love immediately is "Kaboom!" played with the Paddle controller. A player can figure out the games basics in seconds but it can take months or years to be an expert of the game. It's the only game that my son would play when he was young. He literally refused to play most other 2600 games. My second favorite game is Dragonfire which is extremely fun but what cool is it shows the 2600 prowess as it has much better graphics than Intellivision and even Colecovison versions which I also own. The 2600 had a much better color palette than Colecovision which is why the Atari verions treasure look amazing but the treasure on the 2 other consoles look bland. My third favorite is Missile Command. I loved it on the Arcade first then the Atari version is almost as fun. We still see companies making their modern take on the game shows just what a great game it is that 45 years later companies still trying to capture that magic.

For me the first system with any modern replay value was my fourth. The NES. I know I'm not alone in this considering the following the NES still has today.

Demon Attack is kinda a Phoenix clone.

I love them both and Phoenix will make it into a future video. If I remember correctly, there was a lawsuit from Atari about the similarities because they had the home version rights to Phoenix.

Fast Eddie is still fun. Ms. Pac-Man still holds up. So many still hold up.

Ms. Pac-Man for sure. I have never heard of Fast Eddie before; I will make sure to pick that one up. Thanks for watching!

Me and my brother played too much Megamania, Maze Craze and Berzerk.

I love Megamania and Berzerk. Have not played Maze Craze; I will have to check that one out.

Good 2600 games.

I’ve got a bunch of 2600 games but no system! Every time I see one it’s way overpriced. I do have a 7200 though. It’s always fun to revisit the classics.

I was lucky to have a friend randomly sell me a 2600 for 30 bucks and I love it dearly. Generally, to capture footage I will use my Retron 77. Thanks for watching!

I have been thinking about getting one because I would love to have a way to play 7800 games. I will most likely pick one up at some point. @@bupobm

@@AggieThunderpaw it’s really neat how they did it - comes with a multi-cart and plays original and new carts. The 2600+ can play both Atari original 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges, and cartridges from the Atari XP program. I hope Nintendo follows this style for future retro releases

I’m limiting myself to games I have physically and I don’t own those yet. I plan on making several videos in this series and there are many, many games that I think are worthy of inclusion. Stay tuned!

One of my favorites growing up!!! Sadly, I do not own a physical copy right now but I will eventually and it will be in a future video. Watch out for those purple pickles!

My first console. Horrible in retrospect.

Intellivision was and is better!!

I owned this machine as kid. It was never fun. Its just horrible. Bummer that content creators r being forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel, cuz everything on retro consoles has been done. This emperor's new clothes "atari is fun" aint fooling me. I was there!!! 😂
