Atari 2600 Circus: Great game!!!

I remember playing this as a kid, and now that I have stella set up on my cab I've been playing Circus occasionally. It's a really fun game. If you haven't played this one then try it out!

yep, very fun game...

One of the main reason I keep a good set of paddles handy for my 2600...

FYI:

Kaboom is another great paddle game....

All great titles.  Don't forget warlords -- that's a blast with 4 people.

I played E.T yest, omg that game was terrible, I wanted to see how bad it really was. So on a different note, is there a good Moto X game for 2600?, I remember playing one a LONG time ago, and Loved it, Im sure it was for Atair.

Thanks guys. I'll have to try out some of those games. I also really liked pitfall and montezuma's revenge as a kid. Haven't had a chance to play much of them yet though.

Did you just turn it on an expeect to know what to do, or did you read the instructions and learn what the objective is?

I enjoy E.T. myself...
