Top 5 Atari 2600 games
- 1. TOP 5 ATARI 2600 GAMES Thanks for checking this out .
- 2. First,When Atari began. The Atari 2600 (or Atari VCS before 1982) is a home video game console by Atari, Inc.Released on September 11, 1977, it is credited with popularizing the use of micro processor -based hardware and ROM cartridges containing game code, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel - F video game console in 1976. This format contrasts with the older model of having non- microprocessor Dedicated hardware, which could only play the games that were physically built into the unit.
- 3. 5.Pitfall Were you as blown away as I was when you first saw Pitfall Harry swing on that vine? Did you cringe having to cross the crocodile infested ponds? And did you ever wonder where in the heck those underground caverns lead? Pitfall! is another one of those games that remains a classic. Shoot, there was even a cartoon featuring Harry, Rhonda, and Quickclaw
- 4. 4.Combat There isn't a 2600 owner in the world who has not played Combat. As the two- player only pack-in game for the VCS, you needed a friend to play which meant video games were the path to becoming a social event instead of a solitary one. Today, you'd be hard pressed to find a game where you must find a living opponent. Had this style of game continued, video games might not have become such an "anti-social activity."
- 5. 3.River Raid Whenever River Raid is mentioned, so is the name Carol Shaw. She is one of the few women game designers who has not been overlooked in this male dominated industry. The fact that River Raid is so beloved by gamers should be an inspiration to all of us, male and female. Oh, and don't forget to refuel!
- 6. 2.Asteroids Do you have any concept how big of a game Asteroids is? Not in code size, but in sheer popularity and name recognition. THIS, my friends, is the game that brought down the mighty Space Invaders. This is the game that has been imitated and copied more often than any game on the planet. And this is one of the few games that is as fun today as it was in 1979.
- 7. 1.Adventure There is no denying the fun and excitement of this classic 2600 game. No game has been able to match the sense of wonder we all felt when we were first chased by the red dragon. No amount of Kool-Aid would calm us down when the bat stole the life-protecting sword. And nothing could ever match the feeling of accomplishment when the enchanted chalice was returned to it's rightful place in the gold castle. Adventure holds the distinction of being the first game with an Easter egg. Finding the invisible dot and slipping through the black barrier became an accomplishment for many an Atari player. Today, Easter eggs are a requirement of video games. Thanks to the creativity and ingenuity of Warren Robinett, Adventure truly is a memorable game worthy of being the greatest Atari game of all time.
