ROBERT JUNG'S TOP TEN ATARI CONSOLE AND COMPUTER GAMES rjung@netcom.com Well, heck, I can't let this opportunity pass by! Here's my Top Ten Atari console titles of all time, in David Letterman-style. (No descriptions or long elaborations, though -- let's be honest, if I have to even say WHY I'm listing a game, then it doesn't belong on a Top Ten. The titles speak for themselves... B-) 10. Pinball Jam (Lynx/Atari) It's not a showcase by any means, but dang it, I just love watching that ball bounce around. 9. Defender (Atari 8-bit computers/Atari) One of my fondest memories is the weekend I destroyed my space bar playing this game, it's THAT intense... 8. Missile Command 3D (Jaguar/Atari) This title is often overlooked by Jaguar owners, but I think it's a game you can play for decades. 7. Aliens Vs. Predator (Jaguar/Atari) Deep, immersive, and complex, especally if you play as the Marine. 6. Klax (Lynx/Atari) Holy sh*t! It looks and sounds *better* than the arcade, and it's *portable*! 5. Crush, Crumble, And Chomp! (Atari 8-bit computers/Atari) Lots and lots and lots of strategic play, boosted by the AWESOME make-a-monster option... 4. Adventure (2600/Atari) Why is this game so addicting? I don't know, but I don't care... 3. Battlewheels (Lynx/Beyond Games) More features, more depth, and more fun than most games on most other machines. 2. Tempest 2000 (Jaguar/Atari) Enough reason to buy a Jag, and still better than the PC/PlayStation/Saturn ports. 1. Star Raiders (Atari 8-bit computers/Atari) It *still* kicks ass after all these years. I'm not even going to try and list runners-ups; I only have twenty-four hours in a day, after all!
