JOHN BABICH'S TOP TEN ATARI CONSOLE AND COMPUTER GAMES
babich@azstarnet.com
Hey there, ahhhhhhhhhh, good ol' Atari games, most of these
would make my top 10 list for all videogames, and all of them
hold a special place in my heart - here they are:
10. Ms. Pac-Man
(2600, 7800/Atari)
I couldn't bear taking this off the list for one of the honorable
mentions' this game will be forever playable.
9. Fast Food
(2600/Telesys)
8. Food Fight
(7800/Atari)
Awesome game, I love the replays, but even without them, I would
still love this game.
7. Crystal Castles
(2600/Atari)
This game is great, variety, sci-fi, suspense (being chased into
a corner by a giant tree), it has it all.
6. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns
(2600/Activision)
This game was and still is mind blowing.
5. Keystone Kapers
(2600/Activision)
Ah, the squatting cop. Great game, I still drool over the
sunset!
4. River Raid
(2600/Activision)
Great game!!! Words cannot do these games justice sometimes.
3. Joust
(7800/Atari)
I looooove this game, go into phases of playing it non-stop. Some
may say it's too easy but I prefer the looser flying, especially
with a nice broken in VCS stick.
2. Kaboom!
(2600/Activision)
Had to struggle to not make this a tie with #1, these games both
have that get in the zone, lose yourself in gaming nirvana
bliss.
1. Tempest 2000
(Jaguar/Atari)
This game made me speechless for a whole day the first time I
played it...awesome music, graphics, sound effects, and most
importantly gameplay make it an unforgettable experience. This
game is a must-have, accept no substitutes!
Honorable mentions:
Robotron: 2084 (7800), Vanguard (2600), Frankenstein's Monster (2600)
Galaga (7800), Asteroids (2600), Spider Fighter (2600)
Centipede (2600, 5200, 7800), Kangaroo (2600), Jungle Hunt (2600)
Super Breakout (2600), Q*Bert (2600), Yar's Revenge (2600)
