    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.

    Default fav Activision game

    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).

    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).

    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!

    Default Baboom

    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.

    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.)

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    Pitfall II - Lost Caverns is my favorite. I would say that either H.E.R.O. or Keystone Kapers would be my second.

    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.

    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.

    It's all about Seaquest for me...

    River Raid, Megamania, Enduro, Crackpots, HERO and Both Pitfall!'s are also pretty sweet...
