With the release of Activision Anthology PS2 I thought this'd be a good topic.
Mine: H.E.R.O. Has the same exploration angle as Pitfall 2 but with more adrenaline thanks to the time limit.

I've always loved River Raid myself but thanks to AA, I'm enjoying Pitfall now.

River Raid will always be my fav. Activision title. Although I played the 8-bit computer version way more than the VCS version.
Rounding out my Top 3 would be:
H.E.R.O.
Barnstorming
Pitfall 2 was easily beat- I liked the 8-bit version too which included a "2nd part" to the adventure.
My all-time favorite is Dolphin- this game got little fanfare but I loved it. I was able to beat the cart version consistently to see the secret word (around 233,000 pts) which won you the patch. I could do it in 20-30 min. The PSX version is shortened & not the same! :/
I see the PS2 version gives the patch much sooner...
A close 2nd is Enduro- feeling the pressure when you still have many cars to pass after driving in the fog!

Enduro!
After that, it's pretty much the same as everyone else... Kaboom, Hero, etc.

Chopper Command is my #1 favorite. Seaquest and Spider Fighter are right up there too.

Enduro is my favourite. This game is incredible balanced and one of the bests racing games ever.
Close seconds would be Pitfall or Seaquest...

I'd say Pitfall II but only the 8-bit version with the extra levels. HERO is my favorite 2600 Activision title with Cosmic Commuter a close second.
I feel Private Eye deserves an honorable mention since it's a fun game but it can get very frustrating.

wow, that is a tough choice, and there are lots I haven't even played yet, so Iknow I have missed lots of greats too. I think Activision were video game Gods.
I will pick Frostbite, my very close runner ups are Megamania, Seaquest and Plaque Attack.
Great thread!

I like the games that don't really get mentioned a lot. Crackpots, Frostbite, and Pressure Cooker. I can also play Stampede for hours, although I'm not very good at it.
