THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE: ATARI 2600 EDITION Anonymous Fri May 8 23:07:24 2015 No.2392458 [Reply] [Original]

The winner of the last stawpoll for the pinnacle of what the NES has to offer went to Super Mario Bros. 3 with Legend of zelda in second and Mr gimmick in 3rd.

Now we are going back to the days of the Atari 2600! I have a few favorites I grew p with but lets talk about your top 3 and then I will host a straw poll top determine a winner!

That is so weird.

Anyway...

>Atari 2600
>top 3

Combat, Centipede, and Fishing Derby.

I know honorable mentions don't count, but I just HAVE to mention Millipede (which I ALMOST chose over Centipede), Super Breakout, Breakout, and... there's just a TON of great shooters, arcade-y games, and I had a shitload of fun with some of the sports games back in the day as well.

It was also fun, especially in 2p.

I guess I rate things differently, greatest games are games I remember being the ones people liked the most.

For example only a few Japanese people and a few Swedish people ever played Mr. Gimmick so I would have never even considered it.
