    Default Your favorite Atari 2600 game?

    Just a random question... Out of all the Atari 2600 games you've played, which one is your favorite?

    My fave would probably be Demon Attack. I've played that game A LOT!

    The most fun I've ever had with a 2600 is 4-player Warlords. I also really like Combat.

    Really hard to pick one, but I always go back to Demon Attack. That's probably my favorite because I love the hypnotic motion of the demons, and it isn't too hard or too easy.
    If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!

    Yars' Revenge is definitely my favorite 2600 game.
    When I got my 7800 a few years back, that was the first game I made sure I got for it.

    Gotta be Circus Atari. My favorite paddle game, yes even more than Warlords. Warlords is great with 2,3 or 4 people but by yourself against the computers AI its really not that great IMO.

    Hmm so many fun simple games on the 2600, if I had to pick, Maze Craze, simple but fun especially at 3AM when your tired and playing with friends.

    Enduro.

    That game never gets old, and is better than some 16 and 32 bit racers I have played.

    If I had to pick one, Seaquest by Activision would be my favorite.

    There are soooo many honorable mentions, though:
    Missile Command
    Moon Patrol
    Frogger
    Yars' Revenge
    H.E.R.O.
    Pitfall!
    Berzerk
    Jungle Hunt
    and just recently I picked up Zaxxon which is hella fun.
