With MAME playing the arcade ports is kinda pointless. MAME is superior to the Atari.
What Atari originals do you like?
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Pitfall 1 & 2
- Empire Strikes Back

"Have You Played Atari Today?"
i hate playing games in any way other than their original format....(ie, i hate playing console or arcade game on a pc)....so, yes any and all games are worth playing on their original standard over a Mame set up

Star Raiders followed by its "sequel" (of sorts): Solaris. It's such a sequel than even the label art was recycled:
They may not be on par with Final Fantasy VII, but I think you'll find almost all of the Activision games superb Atari 2600 "originals".
I'll second that one.Originally Posted by digitalpress
There's a lot of really interesting and kind of wacky third-party titles for the 2600 which, though hard to find, are of interest. For instance, there's a M*A*S*H game that's really wierd, there's all those porno games (which really must be seen to be believed.) Imagic had some great ones too. I also remember a game called Reactor, and I've never seen anything like it since (you're an isotope in a nuclear reactor and you have to smash other activated ions; crazy.) I suspect that game may be a port, however.
Yah, Reactor is a port. A very good one!Originally Posted by Graham Mitchell

Unlike Final Fantasy VII, which is NOT a port.
What's that Imagic game where you fly around to different planets and abduct puppies with your spaceship? I love that one.
Pressure Cooker is a WONDERFUL game for the 2600.
As is Solaris (already mentioned)
SO not the Drama.
I believe your thinking of Cosmic Ark.Originally Posted by TheRedEye
I think Cosmic Ark is what you are looking for.Originally Posted by TheRedEye
Imagic games in general are usually excellent.

Ram It is awesome, and it isn't emulated quite right... or if it is, the emulation makes the game translate very poorly to the computer. At least, that's what I think

Well, I still say that Adventure was my favorite Atari 2600 game. It was an original.
Wow, I never realized that solaris had the same label art as Star Raiders. Well the hell was up with that? There's got to be some story behind why they simply recycled the picture.
No real story, AFAIK. Atari was just pretty cheap-assed in the later 80s.Originally Posted by Griking
Warlords is extremely fun, but you'll want all four players to be human. Get some friends and 2 sets of paddles, and have fun.
Yeah, late '80's Atari is a great model for how NOT to run a business.Originally Posted by SS
Activision's KABOOM!
Easily my favorite. After a few rounds, all else around you no longer matters. You zone out into a trance as your eyes glaze over from not being allowed to blink. You concentrate to remember to purposely miss the last bomb on that one level to maximize your score. As you dance your bucket back and forth frantically, you curse your faulty paddle controller for jumping around. Damn you! Damn you! DAAAM YOUUUU!!!!! (pantpant-wheezewheeze) Sigh!
You then reach for the reset button once again.
