Which Atari?

The 2600 I presume?

I've always been a big fan of Dig Dug and Ms. Pac-Man...even today, when I can play them on MAME or something, I still enjoy the 2600 ports.

Adventure, Berzerk, Star Raiders, Haunted House...also prettymuch anything by Activision is a winner, though some of my favorites are Seaquest, Keystone Kapers, and obviously Pitfall! and Pitfall II: Lost Caverns.

But then again, my opinion might not be very valid, because I thought E.T. was a decent game :oops:

You're going to have a lot more fun, though, if you have someone else to play with...there's a lot of fun two-player games around.

I was born in the NES generation, but going back and playing some of the 2600 games there's a sense of gaming heritage to be found, and many of the games are incredibly simple but addictive. Adventure is my personal favorite.

You could try and find a copy of Halo 2600. Good luck though

Yeah, I can't believe Al sold out already @_@

I'm sure he'll probably do another run, though.

Not a bad game for a homebrew Halo game...I really suck at it, though...furthest I've been able to get is to the invisible monsters right after the black key

Really wish I had a flash cart so I could play it on the real thing =/

I'll have to look into one if I ever get another job.
