    Smile I agree with you

    Pitfall II is the best in my opinion too.
    I don't know if you saw a review that: Bob "Dire 51" did about Pit 2. I agree with him also. In fact, I just registered in this site because of Pifall II. This is my first reply. I was really wishing to reply to Bob "Dire 51" but the reply button there kept sending me to another place. Do U know how? I wanted to let him know and now I am letting you know as well as everyone who reads, that because of my Love to the Pitfall 2 game, I am developing a sort of a Pitfall 3 (of course with another name because of copyright) and I would like to share the 3 areas I've created so far with you all.

    That would be a tie between Pitfall 2 and Spider Fighter. Too bad both are unplayable in this day and age.

    Put me down for Kaboom, and Enduro for #2.

    Dolphin... Oh, that was fun too, but mostly we were trying to see if we could push our cheat to getting "Amazing!" a "second time in one game" (not exactly, but past really hard levels).

    Oooh boy, I don't think I have played that many Activision games when I first replied!

    Here are my current fave games (can't just pick up one). Now, why did I ever get rid of Activision Anthology (both GBA and PS2)?

    1. Pressure Cooker
    2. Seaquest
    3. Beamrider
    4. Keystone Kapers
    5. Megamania
    6. River Raid

    Pitfall! was my all-time favorite Atari game, so it's got to be that. River Raid is in a close second, though.

    Keystone Kapers, a game that always brings a smile to my face!

    Activision is to Atari 2600 as Rareware is to Nintendo 64. Without either, the consoles wouldn't have been such fondly remembered. I haven't played that many, but from what I played, Pitfall! is the best.

    Enduro - the speed is just awesome! Don't think there is a faster racing game to this day, and the weather effects are awesome. I love firing it up once in a while.

    Very interesting... didn't see this until almost a year later. Oh well.

    Anyway, since I apparently never replied to this thread in the first place: Pitfall II all the way, followed closely by H.E.R.O. and Megamania.

    You know, I can't think of any Activision games that I really got all that much enjoyment out of. I have a few, but I never cared for them as much as others have. The one I like the most I'd have to say was Pitfall II, although I've never played the game in real life, just through emulation in those Activision collections for modern consoles. I have two or three copies of Pitfall II, but they will not work at all, even after a good cleaning.

    I'd have to go with Seaquest if I had to choose a favorite from Activision. I loved it as a kid and I love it today.

    There are too many good ones for me to choose just one, so I choose these!

    Pitfall!
    River Raid
    Kaboom
    Fishing Derby
    Laser Blast

    H.E.R.O. and Tempest are good from what I've seen, but I don't own them. I really wish I owned H.E.R.O.!

    A tie between Spider Fighter and H.E.R.O.

    Spider Fighter was the Atari 2600 game I played the most back then, and I stiil play H.E.R.O. nowadays, but prefer the SG-1000 version

    I actually liked Kangaroo and (dare I say it) E. T. I'm not saying I'd play E. T. for hours, but it entertained me.

    However, it seems from this list, I have a lot to catch up on and try!

    UPDATE: Sorry, just re-read the title. Activision games.

    I would have to say Kaboom!
