My Top 10 Favorite Atari 2600 Games

Just a video of my favorite games for the Atari 2600. It may be a different list than what you normally see as the best games for the system, but my tastes run slightly different and this list reflects that.

Props on this video. Gives some respect to the games that didn't get the recognition they probably deserved. Personally, I'd add Atlantis and H.E.R.O. to this list, and even Frostbite. Great games with excellent core gameplay.

@ItsMrDiamondJ Thanks and yes I do like all the games you mentioned, in fact Frostbite is my wife's favorite and she's very good at it too :)

Sir, its January 17, 2012...just finished watching your video and that was the best 8 min & 21 sec of my life. Video is so well done & with a nice selection of games that I recognize & respect. (Was overjoyed about mention of Spider Fighter & Circus Atari!) As for Bump and Jump, never had it for my 2600, but liked it a lot (maybe its on the Data East Arcade compilation for the Nin Wii?) Keep up the good work & if you get a chance try Space Master X-7. It's a unique 2600 game I enjoyed.

@9isuzu5 Thanks and I believe I do have a copy of Spacemaster X7 around here somewhere. It may have gotten mixed in with some doubles but I'm sure its here. I never did try it so I defintely will thanks :)

loved it, was just showing my daughter what atari looked like in my day. i can't say i've played the same games you did, but it was a cool trip back. kudos for having stargate on the list-that was my all time favorite game back in the day! do you play any newer games/game systems? are you on MW3?

Nice list but I think this guy was a little rough on Defender. Thought it was a good game considering it was an earlier Atari game. I still gotta put Enduro as one of my top Atari games. Still one of the best racing games out there.

I have circus atari, but no paddle controller :( Maybe I can make one myself

I loved this video just by listening to your presentation! :D

Nice list! Circus Atari was a favorite of mine too. Multiplayer Warlords was amazing to me as a child. Some of my favorites (other than the well known classics) include Kaboom!, H.E.R.O. and Demon Attack.
