Re: Top 10 Atari 2600 Games
Yes, I've always considered Activision to be the best producer of Atari 2600 games. True, many of the games I listed are obvious derivatives of arcade games (ENDURO=POLE POSITION, CHOPPER COMMAND=DEFENDER, etc), but the wizards at Activision managed to make them graphically cleaner and with less flicker than the official Atari versions.
Re: Top 10 Atari 2600 Games
Yep, no argument there at all, especially in regards to the solid graphics!

Haunted House might have something to say about that.megasdkirby wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2009 6:53 pm I know it's weird, but I also liked Halloween for the 2600.
I consider it the first "survival horror" game, or at least the first one I played.
