Pitfall II
H.E.R.O. is great too, but I much prefer the C64 version.
Pressure Cooker, Megamania and Frostbite would probably make up the rest of my top 5. But then where would I put Keystone Kapers? Oh damn.

Pitfall is my favorite. You have to commit yourself to play for the full 20 minutes, though; it's not as "pick up and play" as most of Activision's games.
Close 2nds:
River Raid
Tennis
Stampede

I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. I just bought a copy of this online today having only played the Atari 8-bit version of it (and I always loved it).Originally Posted by Sniderman
But back to the topic at hand.
River Raid is an easy choice for favourite. I like the 8-bit version better, but then again I like the 8-bit versions of *every* Activision game better.
The other ones I find myself drawn back to:
H.E.R.O., Stampede, Megamania, Frostbite, Barnstorming
Pitfall and Pitfall 2 I'd lump in with the other good Activision games that I'm just not as likely to play (like Enduro say).
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end

Pitfall II is my favorite. Of the few atari games I remember buying, I recall venturing two miles to Chidrens Palace to buy this game. Great game! I think I bought Solaris also.Tough game!
Scotty
Is and still is the very first 2 I ever had,
Seaquest and
Keystone Kapers
Seaquest for me too!
Pitfall rules!!!, the best Activision game for the 2600 in my opinion
Kaboom! Kaboom! KABOOM! (ref: Afrika Bamaata and Johnny Lydon's World Destruction)
It's all about Kaboom for me, though I don't play too much. I guess I dont' want to get too good at it. Yeah, right.
This is a tough poll question!
My favorite is Endure. 2nd is River Raid.
Activision made a ton of gems for the 2600. Pitfall! is my favorite, followed by Enduro and River Raid for the top three.
(I promise this is my last post in Classic Discussions for the morning. Heh.)
Pitfall II - Lost Caverns is my favorite. I would say that either H.E.R.O. or Keystone Kapers would be my second.
Pitfall II.
Very close 2nd place: Starmaster.
Sky Jinks - This is the very first Acivision game I played and my Dad got it brand new when it came out. I have some fond memories of this game. If my dad picked out any other Activision title at that time I probably would have listed it instead of Sky Jinks.
(Pronounced: OO-bik-OO-ber-ALL-ess)
Reality is false and decaying. Ubik restores form and substance.
1-Kaboom (nothing will ever top this)
2-HERO
3-Frostbite
4-Pressure Cooker.
And if you stick Atari's Adventure in there, you'll have my top 5 games for the whole VCS library :P
Too bad Activision has sucked since day one of NES, and onward.
"And remember ladies: if it ain't tight, it ain't right!"
Pitfall II for sure. I wish I had it right now to play!
Jason
It's all about Seaquest for me...
River Raid, Megamania, Enduro, Crackpots, HERO and Both Pitfall!'s are also pretty sweet...
Dragster
Keystone Kapers
Starmaster
Kaboom
Pitfall
Megamania
Chopper Command
