The Top Ten/10 Worst Atari 2600 Games From My Collection

[aytakk]

Spike's Peak and Ghost Manor were fantastic games. Tough to master but when you did it was awesome. True once you know how to play them well they were relatively short games but they were some of the few Atari 2600 games that actually had an ending.

ET isn't that bad if you know what you are supposed to do and how to play it.

why was et so bad?

[cooljosiah11]

@stuckinthecities look at it on wikipedia. It was so bad that they buried their excess copies that wouldn't sell in Mexico.

i think if you had played springer then that might of made this list!! ;) or maybe its cause it cost me £10 when i was a kid and it was shit for that money ha

[scorpionatthepc]

@minks36 Got springer myself and yes while it is an annoying game its not that bad to make it onto this list.

e.t. isnt all that bad. i own it. and what most dont realize is that the programmer had to do a rush job on the game, had to have it ready in just 5 weeks. most atari 2600 games were just on one screen, whereas e.t. was innovative enough to feature many different screens, many items you had to collect, etc. it was way beyond its time. the only thing that sucks about it is falling into the pits all the time. other than that, its pretty impressive for an early 80s game, all things considered.

@TheMireaux7 i agree. i would go so far as to say it is one of my favorite atari games. it has a title screen, it has a goal, and i think the graphics are pretty good for the 2600

@TheMireaux7 I totally agree.Why does everything this game is that bad.It may not be an amazing game,butit is good for it's time.
