  • Here's my ten favorite in no particular order. I'm not one for writing reviews so that's why I didn't!

    10. Beamrider

    (2600/Activision)
      The Intellivision version is better but this one is still very playable.
    9. Mines of Minos
    (2600/CommaVid)
      I'm a sucker for maze games and this one is more interesting than most with its scrolling playfield and water dangers.
    8. Ram It
    (2600/Telesys)
      I fell in love with this one at the 1982 CES. You have to have the instructions to know what you're doing.
    7. Food Fight
    (7800/Atari)
      I really like the 'Instant Replay' feature.
    6. Robotron: 2084
    (7800/Atari)
      I can't get past the fourth level but that's okay.
    5. Super Skateboardin'
    (7800/Absolute)
      This one is just a fun game with great graphics. Blows away the 2600 version.
    4. Sword of Saros
    (2600/Starpath)
      My favorite of the Starpath games although Mindmaster and Survival Island come close.
    3. Superman
    (2600/Atari)
      This was the groundbreaker for Atari. They followed it up with Adventure and then they went stale.
    2. Adventure
    (2600/Atari)
      How can you not like this one? Even without the Easter Eggs it's a great game!
    1. Dark Chambers
    (2600/Atari)
      For me this game is like Adventure, only better.
    Runners Up!!!

    Impossible Mission (7800/Atari)

      I loved this one until I found out that its truly impossible.
    Defender (2600/Atari)
      I never played the original so I don't have a basis to compare it with. On that note, this is a great game.
    Secret Quest (2600/Atari)

    Tower Toppler (7800/Atari)

    Bobby Is Going Home (2600/?)

      One of the best game descriptions on any box.
