Pitfall

I lost track of the number of joysticks I destroyed playing that game.

Speaking of Activision, who else took pics of their TVs and sent off for these patches?

AtariAge - 2600 Activision Patch Gallery (http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/activision_patches.html)

We used to just take the controller apart and use the circuit board, we got better times that way.

Pitfall would be up there.

Lotta good memories in this thread. Here's another.

Bonus points for anybody who can name every game in every post :)

We were also one of the beta users for this:

GameLine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameLine)

The remnants of which went on to form America Online. I thought it was pretty cool to be able to hook your 2600 up to the phone and play games. Little did I know what that would lead to! :)

River Raid! I was going to post it...but it gets a +1 from me.

I have the patch for it somewhere in a box at my parents' house to answer to posts at once.

http://www.atariage.com/2600/hacks/screenshots/s_RiverRaidPlus_Hack_3.pngExcellent pick.

I remember this arcade game very well.

One of the most popular in the arcade.

That image reminds me that I played the SHIT out of some Superman....but I can't quite remember why/how.

Awesome picks.

This one was also my favorite.

Let me know when you guys do this for Intellivision. I never really played Atari growing up. This is the only game I really played for Atari:

Dude. I must have blown that freaking AT-AT up a billion times. Loved this game.

This kicked lots of ass, too.

http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/collection/articlepics/atari2600/combat1.png

Yes. Thank you for finding it for me. That's the one!

http://www.atariage.com/2600/screenshots/s_Kaboom_3.png

Kaboom! was mine as well.

Yes. Thank you for finding it for me. That's the one!

I always kicked my friend's ass at the flying part of Combat.

That image reminds me that I played the SHIT out of some Superman....but I can't quite remember why/how.

Along those same lines...

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/791/et02.png

Can't remember why I played ET that much...but I did

We used to just take the controller apart and use the circuit board, we got better times that way.

I did the same thing.

This thread is making me want to get my 2600 out. I've still got it in the basement with about 40 games.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qF6CbJo2vY/SVjXzPlcZMI/AAAAAAAAEkM/y5AvxTPknsU/s400/stampede.png
I love Stampede. I played it on the Intellivision, but that was a hell of a fun game.

Uh-huh! Oh yeah!

Thought for sure we'd see this by now...

I never could figure out how to play this one.

I think you just move that giant penis into the vagina at the top of the screen. That's what I would try first, anyway.

I never could figure out how to play this one.

..and you can figure out football manager? :D

This kicked lots of ass, too.

http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/collection/articlepics/atari2600/combat1.png

This for me.

..and you can figure out football manager? :D

Granted, I was 6 or 7 years old trying to play it back then.

I don't play FM, BTW. :)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Gorgonian14/atari2600boxing.png

Forgot about this one...great great game. Once you were in that groove, lights out

I thought you did...

I was like 11 or 12 when it came out.

Hell yes!

This is mine, too. Perfect screen shot because I always played w/ the three man teams, too.

Forgot about this one...great great game. Once you were in that groove, lights out

Yeah -- once you got a hold of them, in that left/right pattern, you could just beat them senseless until you got to 100 (or was it 99?). :)

Great thread idea.

I can still "hear" some of the music/FX from some of these games (definitely Stampede, ET, and Pitfall).

ActiVision must have been some sort of market leader of those days. I see their logo on about half of these screenshots.

I've always been a sucker for super-hero games.

Uh-huh! Oh yeah!

+1

Definitely my top pick... although I had played it on a C64.

Looks like MULE has a following, and can still be played:

Planet M.U.L.E. (http://www.planetmule.com/)
http://www.worldofmule.net/tiki-index.php

I don't think I have ever played MULE.

I played MULE on the NES. It was a game my dad and I both played quite a lot, me more so than him.

Played this both on Atari and PC...
