Below is a list of my favorite Atari 2600 games. Some are current favorites and others I liked better when they were new back in the 1980s. There are many games I haven't had a chance to play, so this list will probably change as I discover new favorites. Each game is linked to the appropriate AtariAge.com page in case you want instruction manuals, screenshots, scans, or ROMs.
Colorful arcade-like graphics and great sound effects. It's not the best game in the world, but it's fun for a while (whenever you are in the mood for that kind of game).

This game is pretty good, but the screen flashes red every time you shoot an enemy, so if that kind of thing bothers you like it does me, you'll probably only play this game once every 10,000 years. Or we can play the hacked version that gets rid of the flashing. Speaking of hacks, check out the list of hacked games on the What is the Harmony Cartridge? page.

This is another game that I like better than the arcade version. I get sick of it pretty fast, but it's great for a short amount of time.

Seems like just about everyone on the planet with an Atari 2600 likes this game. It would have been nice if Atari made Circus Atari 2 with better Imagic or Activision type graphics. The game is still fun as it is, even if it is a little ugly.

Communist Mutants from Space (Starpath)
I'm not sure if I like this Supercharger game as much as Demon Attack, but it is better than games such as Phoenix, Galaxian, and Megamania.

This game felt kind of 'scary' when it was new. It was bold in the way the enemies reverse ripped onto the screen and how the sounds blew you out of your seat. It was amazing. My favorite Imagic games have a crisp, clear, colorful, arcade look (similar to the look of Defender at the arcades) and they usually have cool sound effects that seem totally original. Many games by Atari and other companies have characters that seem kind of stiff and look like they are made out of heavy cement blocks, but Imagic characters are usually looser, lighter, more colorful, more detailed, and more arcade-like. Even most homebrews with all of the tricks and tools available to programmers today seem to have a clunky look and feel. It seems that when Imagic died, so did the magic. Maybe it won't be that way forever. There still might be hope.
Below is what Rob Fulop, the programmer of Demon Attack, said about my comments on the Imagic look and sound effects:
The particular magic trick you are referring to was achieved by a less than remarkable solution ... basically Imagic was the first videogame company to bring in actual artists to do graphics for games. At Atari, we did our graphics by taking a piece of graph paper, and filling in the squares with pencil, and then coding each row of eight squares as a two digit hex value. Combine this primitive method, with the fact that most programmers sense of style is so gawd awful that many have a hard time figuring out which shoe goes with which shoe when they get dressed in the afternoon when they finally wake up, and it's no shock that game graphics looked like cement blocks.
After leaving Atari, Bob Smith and myself wrote a few simple editors that ran on the Atari 800. These tools enabled a graphic artist to author actual game graphics, changing both the graphics, and color, on each scan line. When they were happy with the way it all looked, the programmer ran some utility tool to add the appropriate hex codes to their program. Michael Becker was the first artist to use these tools, and he did such a great job on the set of demons that appear in Demon Attack that he became Imagic's first resident artist devoted exclusively to video game graphics. I think it took other companies awhile to catch on to this, which is why Imagic games were known for the distinct look they have. The sound effects were created by the programmers themselves, both Bob Smith and Dennis Koble, as well as myself had done several games on the 2600 at Atari .. so we had generated enough sound effects at that point that we knew our way around the primitive Stella sound system.

Wow! An Activision game where objects seem to be in random positions. Stop the presses! When something so rare happens, the whole world must be alerted! Thank God David Crane didn't make this game or the cars would have been in the same place every time you played. Enduro is the best driving game ever made for the Atari 2600 and it's also more fun than many driving games on other systems.

The interplanetary telephone pieces and zones are in different places every time you start a new game. Controlled Randomness gives E.T. replayability, and that means the game will be fun no matter how many times you play it. It's always fresh. And unlike Adventure and Superman, there is no flicker. In case you don't already know, I have a 5 page section that is devoted to this game. I attempt to explain why E.T. is better than most people say.

Fantastic Voyage (20th Century Fox)
It doesn't have the beauty and pleasing sound effects of an Imagic game, but it is different every time you play and that's a good thing. When I bought the game around 1984, it didn't seem as polished as other games I played. It wasn't bad, it just felt kind of homemade. After playing the game for a day or two, I discovered that you could sometimes push your way outside of the artery when it gets smaller. It was a mistake the first time it happened. I thought it was kind of cool, but it also made me lose a little respect for the game and put in a lower class in my mind than it should be.

Another David Crane game where things start off in the same position every time. The best little fishy always starts out on the bottom right of the screen, so if you're on the left side, you'll rarely get a chance to catch it. The only reason why I have this game on my list is that it's still kind of fun to catch the fish, for a short time anyway. I also believe that this was the second game that I saw playing on an Atari VCS at Woolco. Breakout was the first, but this fishing game means a little more to me since I used to like to go fishing back then. It was a holdover from my grandfather. I imagined buying the game and an Atari and fishing in the comfort of my own home. It never happened. I didn't get an Atari until 1982 and by then I had a desire for other more exciting games. I finally got Fishing Derby in the mid 1990s.

Frogger (Starpath) [not the Parker Brothers version]
Everything is detailed and colorful. The frog looks cool jumping horizontally, but it looks about as stupid as the Parker Brothers version going vertically. That's not such a big deal though with the whole game being so much better overall. If you have played the Parker Brothers game, you probably remember the constant flicker. There doesn't seem to be any flicker in this game. The music and sound effects are very much like the arcade game. Speaking of music, this Starpath version doesn't make you wait for the beginning tune to finish before you can start playing. If you like Frogger, and you want to play it on the Atari 2600, this is the version to play.

Although the obstacles are always in the same place, this game is still worth playing once in a while. People talk about liking Atari bowling, but swinging the golf club in this game is more fun to me.

Some say that the Atari 2600 version of Lock 'N' Chase is ugly, but I can't stand the graphics of the arcade version and I don't like the gameplay as much as the Atari 2600 version either.
It's hard to get sick of this game. Trapping a cop for 2000 points never gets old. There are two treasures to get and you need to get them every time if you want their worth to double. You never know where the cops are going to go, so danger is around every corner. If you close a door to block one cop, you could find that you blocked your only way to escape from the next cop. On top of all that, there is no flicker. It's the best dot eater 'maze' game ever made for the Atari 2600.
I like to pretend you're grabbing treasure in a futuristic place patrolled by robots. Maybe it's a deadly game show or an evil genius trapped you in a maze and you have to clear a certain number of screens before he'll let you out.
Lock 'N' Chase Tips
After playing for a couple of minutes, you'll notice that the cops will freeze for a short amount of time after you grab a treasure. They'll also freeze when you trap a cop for 2000 points (that can only happen once on each screen, so wait until the next screen before you trap a cop again).
Something that may not be clear to a newbie is that the Upper Treasure will appear based on the number of Gold Bars collected. So you can plan on collecting Gold Bars closer to the Upper Treasure area when you feel you've collected almost enough to make the Upper Treasure appear.
Understanding that I could have counted wrong and I might be off by a bit, the first Upper Treasure seems to appear after you collect 16 Gold Bars. The second Upper Treasure seems to appear after you collect another 34 Gold Bars. The third Upper Treasure seems to appear after you collect 28 more Gold Bars. And the fourth Upper Treasure seems to appear after you collect an additional 16 Gold Bars. Here are the numbers again:
16
34
28
16
The Lower Treasure doesn't seem to be affected by the number of Gold Bars collected. It comes up at what seems like regular intervals.
The doors do not close at random. A door will close at the last place you moved through where a door could be closed. It's like you have remote control power over the last door location you moved through.
Be sure to play the game with the difficulty settings on B. The cops will start out slow on the first screen, but if you pay attention, you'll see that they are a bit faster on the next screen. Not A faster, but faster than the first screen. The first screen on B may make you think the game is boring, but if you play more than one screen set to B, the cops will get faster and you won't have time to be bored, especially if you try to get both treasures and trap a cop on each screen.

More replayable goodness. If you think this game is easy, try it on level 4. The only flaw this game has is that you can start out in the room you are supposed to be looking for. Seems like it would have been fairly easy to leave that room out of the list of possible starting positions. Oh well, if you play on level 4 you may not mind starting out in that room sometimes.

This is another game that I don't love. It's fun enough to add to the list though. If I could have owned it when it was new, I would have more of an attachment to it. I didn't get to play the Atari 2600 version of the game until after the year 2000.

I tried the arcade version of Solar Fox with MAME and besides not liking the gameplay any better, I don't even like the graphics. Thank God for the limitations that the Atari 2600 had. I like the compromises some game designers had to make. In this case, it improved the game.
Here's something Jess Ragan said at AtariAge that I agree with:
We've had this conversation before, but what the heck... I never pass up a chance to heap praise onto the 2600 version of Solar Fox! The original arcade game was unfocused and filled to overflowing with unnecessary play mechanics, but the 2600 version streamlines the experience, cranking up the speed and intensity. There's no firing; only frantic dodging, and the game is better off for it.
Solar Fox is an addictive, colorful classic game and it's more fun if you choose the difficulty setting that is right for you. The manual says:
Your Starships travel at a preset cruise speed throughout each game. Set the DIFFICULTY switches to A for a fast cruise speed. Set the switches to B for a slow cruise speed.
At fast cruise speed, hold down the red button of your Joystick Controller to slow your Starship down. At slow cruise speed, hold down the red button to speed your Starship up. To return your Starship to its cruise speed, lift up on the red button.
I play with the left difficulty switch set to A so I can move fast and use the fire button like brakes when I need to.

A simple classic game with a ton of variations. I think I have played a hack or two that improved on the game, but most attempts (whether they are hacks or homebrews) usually stink.

I love how you climb buildings in this game. Of course, Spider-Man games made in the 21st century and beyond will usually be more fun, but this Atari 2600 game gave you something that was rare at the time. You could climb and swing on a web line. I could be wrong, but I think this was the only Atari 2600 game that gave you that ability.

This is how I thought Defender was going to be. This game is about as close as you can get to arcade quality on an Atari 2600. I think I bought Stargate about a year after it was released and I remember being impressed, but that was around the time I was more interested in the Commodore 64, so it wasn't the jaw-dropping experience that it should have been. It's still a good game and I'd rather play this on the Atari 2600 than Defender or Chopper Command.

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Sega)
This game is always fun. I sometimes think that I like it better than the arcade version. As with most games that I like, it's different every time you play. Having the first person view and the overhead view is great. You can play any way you want. Do you only like the overhead view? No problem. Just ignore the first-person view.

I don't like this game as much as I did in the 1980s. I used to love it. I think I have been spoiled by the side-scrolling shooters I played on more advanced systems over the years. I also don't like learning 'dance steps,' so I dislike the Electro-Gates.

Below are some of the games that were a disappointment to me back when they were new.
Raiders of the Lost Ark's Influence
First, David Crane made some high-quality, pretty-looking Atari 2600 games. He also created amazing, innovative code. That doesn't mean I have to like the games he made that seemed to lack controlled randomness.
Besides having a cool vine to swing on, the game was kind of boring. I thought the treasure would be in different places every time you played, but it was just one more Activision game where everything was always in the same place. Most enemies in the game had no intelligence to them. Pretty much everything was a mindless obstacle. I believe that the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was the reason why Pitfall! was so popular. Pitfall Harry didn't seem to have a personality in Pitfall! or Pitfall II. All he ever had was stolen from Indiana Jones by way of children's imaginations.
Some people say that kids weren't aware of the connection between Indiana Jones and Pitfall Harry back then, but In September of 1982, the Indiana Jones buzz was still strong and it looked to most kids I knew like Activision was trying to cash in on that buzz just like everybody else. It seemed most of us were aware of the direct connection. Back then Indiana Jones was adventure guy no matter what happened in the movie, especially since many of us never even got to see the movie until years later. All we had were commercials and hype to go on. Any kid that was even slightly paying attention knew that Pitfall! was a Raiders of the Lost Ark 'wannabe' with a dash of Tarzan thrown in (vine swinging and Tarzan yell) and a lot of the kids that didn't know it consciously, knew it subconsciously.
It seemed everyone was trying to ride the coattails of Raiders of the Lost Ark back then, just like everyone tried to ride the coattails of Star Wars. Pitfall! was released in September of 1982 and do you know what else came out that month on TV? Tales of the Gold Monkey and Bring 'Em Back Alive. Two shows that constantly reminded us of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Those of us who saw the video for Africa by Toto were also reminded of Raiders of the Lost Ark which got fed back into Pitfall! and the official Raiders of the Lost Ark game that was soon to be released. As we went around the bend into the new year, any kid that had access to music videos got another Raiders of the Lost Ark infusion from Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf video.
It's possible that Activision wasn't trying to ride the coattails of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the effect was the same. Millions of kids saw the connection and bought the game to feel like they were Indiana Jones in a new jungle adventure. [Many years after I wrote this and had arguments with people about it, David Crane said that he was “inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark and such” in the video above. Now the Raiders of the Lost Ark connection is not just my opinion.]
I had high hopes for this game. I read about how much better it was supposed to be than Pitfall!, so I bought it for the Atari 2600 when the game was new (with my own money that I earned mowing yards). I thought at the time that since Pitfall II: Lost Caverns was supposedly the most advanced 'adventure game' ever made for the Atari 2600 that it would at least have randomly placed treasure using controlled randomness like real adventure games did. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns had better graphics and sophisticated music, but just like original Pitfall!, things were in the same place and you still had to jump over or evade mindless enemies that just bounced up and down or moved back and forth and usually didn't even know you were there. From treasure to enemies, it's the same game every time. Zero replayability with the bonus of frustrating gameplay and no vine swinging. What a huge disappointment! Activision managed to take a fairly boring game like Pitfall!, remove the one thing that was really fun (swinging on vines) and inject one of the worst gameplay ideas ever invented: losing ground by going back to a save point. I liked the idea of not dying and having no time limit, but I'd rather be punished by having an Incan ghost come and take away some of my treasure instead of making me lose ground for one tiny mistake.
So, although Pitfall II: Lost Caverns had some cool things in it, the game was mostly just another lame exercise in perfect timing with nothing else to offer except the frustration of going back many screens to do it all over again if you messed up. At least the original Pitfall! let you skip or retry the screen you were on (your choice depending on whether you went left or right). The idiotically frustrating idea of making you go back multiple screens was not an advance in gameplay, it was a giant step backwards. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns started a horrible trend. We got decades of stupid perfect-timing platform games where everything was in the same place every time you played and you had to replay many levels until you memorized all of the 'dance steps.' That model is still used today by misguided game designers. Randomness and replayability weren't just shown the door, they were thrown through a plate-glass window.
Back in early 1982, my family and I thought Atari 2600 Pac-Man was going to look like a more blocky version of what Atari computer Pac-Man looks like:
DINTAR816 eventually made a version that pretty much looks and sounds like we were expecting in 1982:
Instead of what we thought, we got that weird maze with the weird colors, a grating little opening tune, and a horrible rubber band sound effect:
Although the date on the box, cart, manual, and copyright screen say 1981, Atari 2600 Pac-Man wasn't released until March/April of 1982.
The main reason my family bought an Atari 2600 was for Pac-Man and we brought that first Atari 2600 home on March 27, 1982. We had pre-ordered Pac-Man and got it as soon as it hit the store (Woolco at Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, Virginia). The official release date was March, and although people in other cities across the country could buy it in March, it didn't get to our store until April. I was stuck playing Combat for at least a week until Pac-Man arrived at the store.
My family still played the game since it was the only version of Pac-Man that we had, but that didn't mean it didn't suck. (It was also the only game we had besides combat for a while.) Some might ask why we didn't return the game. It didn't really occur to us that we could. I don't even know if it was allowed at the time. The only game I returned was Pitfall II: Lost Caverns a couple of years later because I was more confident then and knew more of my ‘video game rights.’
To be clear, we hated the grating un-Pac-Man sounds, the un-Pac-Man maze, the un-Pac-Man maze colors, and the horrible flicker at the time, when the game was new. I was 17, so I was less forgiving than a nose-picking 6 year old who never played the arcade game and would be satisfied with anything that moved on the screen.
Some say that if Atari 2600 Pac-Man had a different name and there were no expectations for it to be similar to arcade Pac-Man, most people wouldn't think it's a bad game. If most people like irritating sound effects and annoying flicker, that might be true. I'd rather play Lock 'N' Chase.
This is what Tod Frye said in the video below:
“One thing I have never gotten is why people are so persnickety about the exact maze layout. My maze is simpler, takes less ROM, and I have these exits at the top and bottom and that freaks people out and I got no idea why. It's like, they're exits, so what if they're on the top and bottom instead of the left and right? I mean, come on, I just don't get it.”
After all this time, he's still clueless about it?
I remember reading interviews where certain classic programmers would talk about going to the arcade as much as possible. It wasn't just to learn from the games, these programmers seemed to love playing games. They were “gamers” who made games. From the way he talks, Tod Frye seems like somebody who would rather bash his head on a fire sprinkler than play arcade games. He doesn't seem to “get” what makes each popular arcade game special and unique. The Pac-Man maze is the same as any Berzerk maze, right? A maze is a maze. What's the big deal? If Tod Frye poured you a big warm glass of yak piss and you complained about it, would he say “Yak piss and clean water are both liquids. What's the difference? Liquid is liquid. They taste the same to me. Why are you being so persnickety? I don't get it.”
Tod Frye's myringa-molesting, malevolent maze of mucky movement (a.k.a. Pac-Man) was released in March/April of 1982. There were three big arcade ports that were released before Pac-Man that managed to recreate the magic of the arcade games. They got the vital things right.
Atari 2600 Space Invaders was released around March of 1981. It had the basics: aliens looked similar to the arcade aliens, gameplay was similar, you could shoot pieces out of the bunkers, and the background color was black. Atari also improved on the original by adding a ton of variations. The Atari 2600 game didn't have the exact number of aliens that the original version had, but Rick Maurer did a pretty darn good job capturing the essence of the arcade game. If Space Invaders would have had a hot pink background, bunkers that looked like moldy pickles, and rabid purple bunny rabbits instead of aliens, I'm pretty sure people would have complained. Maybe Tod Frye should have played Space Invaderss longer than 3 months back then. He'd be better at playing it and he might have learned how to recreate the essential parts of an arcade game.
Missile Command for the Atari 2600 was released around April of 1981. Some gameplay elements had to be pruned and the game had to be adapted so it would work with a joystick, but like Space Invaders, the essence was captured. There wasn't much to complain about. Rob Fulop didn't decide to turn the game sideways or use chartreuse as the background color of the first level.
Released around August of 1981, Atari 2600 Asteroids also had a black background (just like the arcade version). The ship looked similar and you could shoot in multiple directions. The asteroids were blocky and filled in with color instead of looking like those hollow vector things from the original, but that was excusable and possibly welcome for people who like colorful graphics. Gameplay was close enough and fun enough to stifle most complaints.
Back to what Tod Frye said about the exits in his version, that's exactly what they are; exits, not escape tunnels. As Video Games Magazine from August of 1982 said on page 75, “The exits on the top and bottom, at times, seem involuntary; on several occasions, as I passed by one, I was sucked in and spat out the other side.” When playing the arcade version, you have to enter the tunnels on purpose. You can't get sucked in.
If Tod Frye would have given us a black background, an arcade-like maze, better joystick response, and sound effects that weren't imported from the depths of hell, Pac-Man would have received an overabundance of respect and praise. Pac-Man could proudly sit on a shelf next to Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Asteroids without cowering and whimpering like a mangy rescue dog that peed on the carpet.
I was very irritated and disappointed when I played the first SwordQuest game. It wasn't an adventure game as Atari defined adventure games (Adventure/Superman). It was just a maze of rooms with poorly done, horrible, horrible, horrible, offensive, cheap, ugly rip offs of various arcade games. After what they did to us with Pac-Man, this was even more proof that Atari really didn't care about their fans. For adventure game lovers, it felt like Atari spit on us, punched us in the stomach, and kicked us in the crotch all at the same time. The SwordQuest games had pretty comic books and expensive prizes for code-loving high I.Q. nerds to win, but the “games” were total crap. Slamming your forehead into a brick wall would be more fun than “playing” the SwordQuest abominations.
The SwordQuest games remind me of the following quote:
I personally object to episodic games where you play one screen of Space Invaders and one screen of Breakout and one screen of Galaxian and one screen of this and one of that. To me, that's not a game. It's just taking five bad games, putting them together, and calling them one good game. I'm philosophically against that.

Did you know that Trump's rushed Operation Warp Speed rona jab has less than one percent overall benefit? Some people call it the depopulation jab and it has many possible horrible side effects (depending on the lot number, concentration, and if it was kept cold). Remember when many Democrats were against Trump's Operation Warp Speed depopulation jab, then they quickly changed their minds when Biden flip-flopped and started pushing it?
Some brainwashed rona jab cultists claim that there are no victims of the jab, but person after person will post what the jab did to them, a friend, or a family member on web sites such as Facebook and they'll be lucky if they don't get banned soon after. Posting the truth is “misinformation” don't you know. Awakened sheep might turn into lions, so powerful people will do just about anything to keep the sheep from waking up.

Take a look at my page about the famous demonized medicines called The H Word and Beyond. You might also want to look at my page called Zinc and Quercetin. My sister and I have been taking zinc and quercetin since the summer of 2020 in the hopes that they would scare away the flu and other viruses (or at least make them less severe). Here's one more page to check out: My Sister's Experiences With COVID-19.
Some people appear to have a mental illness because they have a vitamin B deficiency. For example, the wife of a guy I used to chat with online had severe mood swings which seemed to be caused by food allergies or intolerances. She would became irrational, obnoxious, throw tantrums, and generally act like she had a mental illness. The horrid behavior stopped after she started taking a vitamin B complex. I've been taking Jarrow B-Right (#ad) for many years. It makes me much easier to live with. I wonder how many people with schizophrenia and other mental mental illnesses could be helped by taking a B complex once or twice a day with meals (depending on their weight)?
Unfermented soy is bad! “When she stopped eating soy, the mental problems went away.” Fermented soy doesn't bother me, but the various versions of unfermented soy (soy flour, soybean oil, and so on) that are used in all kinds of products these days causes a negative mental health reaction in me that a vitamin B complex can't tame. The sinister encroachment of soy has made the careful reading of ingredients a necessity.
I started taking AyaLife (99% Pure CBD oil) as needed in April of 2020. So far it's the only thing that helps my mood when I've mistakenly eaten something that contains soy. AyaLife is THC-free (non-psychoactive) and is made in the USA. I also put a couple dropper fulls under my tongue before leaving the house or if I just need to calm down.
It's supposedly common knowledge that constantly angry Antifa-types basically live on soy products. What would happen if they stopped eating and drinking soy sludge and also took a B complex every day? Would a significant number of them become less angry? Would AyaLife CBD oil also help?
If you are overweight, have type II diabetes, or are worried about the condition of your heart, check out the videos by Ken D Berry, William Davis, and Ivor Cummins. It seems that most people should avoid wheat, not just those who have a wheat allergy or celiac disease. Check out these books: Undoctored (#ad), Wheat Belly (#ad), and Eat Rich, Live Long (#ad).
Negative ions are good for us. You might want to avoid positive ion generators and ozone generators. A plain old air cleaner is better than nothing, but one that produces negative ions makes the air in a room fresher and easier for me to breathe. It also helps to brighten my mood.
Never litter. Toss it in the trash or take it home. Do not throw it on the ground. Also remember that good people clean up after themselves at home, out in public, at a campsite and so on. Leave it better than you found it.
Climate Change Cash Grab = Bad
Seems like more people than ever finally care about water, land, and air pollution, but the climate change cash grab scam is designed to put more of your money into the bank accounts of greedy politicians. Those power-hungry schemers try to trick us with bad data and lies about overpopulation while pretending to be caring do-gooders. Trying to eliminate pollution is a good thing, but the carbon footprint of the average law-abiding human right now is actually making the planet greener instead of killing it.
Eliminating farms and ranches, eating bugs, getting locked down in 15-minute cities, owning nothing, using digital currency (with expiration dates) that is tied to your social credit score, and paying higher taxes will not make things better and “save the Earth.” All that stuff is part of an agenda that has nothing to do with making the world a better place for the average person. It's all about control, depopulation, and making things better for the ultra-rich. They just want enough peasants left alive to keep things running smoothly.

Charlie Robinson had some good advice about waking up normies (see the link to the video below). He said instead of verbally unloading or being nasty or acting like a bully, ask the person a question. Being nice and asking a question will help the person actually think about the subject.
