--- Quote from: DeLuSioNal29 on May 05, 2014, 03:20:36 pm ---My top list:
1 - Cosmic Ark (Activision)
2 - Kaboom! - Never did like how the paddles were emulated though. They were never fast enough. If anyone knows of a better way to come close to the original paddles let me know
3 - Warlords
4 - Space Invaders
5 - Boxing (Activision)
6 - Mountain King - My favorite version of all systems
7 - Ms. Pacman - Light years ahead of the original Pacman
8 - Pitfall - I would cheat and start by running to the left. That way if you died you would appear on the left and pass the screen that made you die
9 - Centipede
10 - Combat - 2 players of course. My fav mode were: Tanks with bouncing bullet, jet airplanes and triple bi-planes

I used to do that Pitfall "trick" too. I never learned how to play Pitfall the right way. I thought I "beat" the game by running out the clock. I never realized there was a certain way to play the game.

Adventure
Frostbite
Yars’ Revenge
Pitfall

I loved Yars too, but in retrospect, some variety to the levels might be nice (different shaped barrier, etc).

Yeah there are a bunch that have already been mentioned. But I also list as a guilty pleasure Kool Aid Man. It's a terrible game but for some reason I get some enjoyment out of playing it.
