/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.6497862]

Can we get a definitive list of the best games worth playing on this system? I dont want to google a list cause they are all missing tons of fun games, so /vr/ what are all the 2600 games worth playing. they dont have to be the best version they just have to be worth checking out, like atari space invaders is still worth playing and is fun for a while. They dont have to be excellent something thats fun to pick up and play for 5 minutes is perfectly acceptable. My recommendations are moonsweeper, mountain king, alien and koolaid man (i know that one sounds dumb but its pretty fun)

Uh, Kaboom is kinda fun. For like, 2 minutes.

You don't need to lie and make up stories to hide your disability. Zoom is just a disability and nothing to be ashamed of.

If you're only enjoying kaboom for 2 minutes; you're not very good at it.

[Anonymous No.6499323]

No there's a lot of stuff missing in the /v/ recommended games wiki actually like moonsweeper for example a fun imagic game. I have scoured the internet and have a pretty good idea but I'm sure I'm missing something. I got most the Activision, imagic and good atari games. CBS and fox had some decent games too actually but I'm sure there is something obscure out there that's also worth checking out.

Again, you don't need to lie and try to hide your zoom. Mental illness isn't something you need to be ashamed of.

whats your problem retard just talk about atari games. ive actually pulled a bunch of roms from the set I consider worth trying these are all just ones with joystick controls though and I know this machine has a shit ton of games so I probably missed a bunch. Its got a bunch of decent titles from developers that arent atari, imagic or activision

[Anonymous No.6500394]

Atari blows, people who still enjoy it are either old or autistic

>whats your problem with me being a retard
Nothing. As I've said before, being mentally challenged is nothing you need to be ashamed of. You were born this way and should be loud and proud about it, as you're being. Even if you weren't actually born with an extra chromosome you still identify as a downie are entitled to all the privilege that comes with.

Homebrew games like Dragon Descent, Halo, Draconian, Evil Magician Returns, Dungeon, Wizard of Wor, Roach in Space, Scramble, Oystron are absolutely excellent, they're better than most NES games. I must've missed a lot of great titles there, but the 2600 homebrew community is really nice. There are shooters, dungeon crawlers, adventure games, vertical and horizontal shoot em up with almost as much complexity as snes and genesis shumps, and even RPG. Very smooth framerate too.

Dark Cavern is always a solid choice. Not quite as good as Berzerk, but still a nice way to kill 30 minutes or so.

The game where you play as one of the three pigs and the wolf tries to blow away your brick house, the one where you’re a toothpaste inside a mouth shooting hamburgers, the one where you’re a chomping mouth eating green sausages, the one where you’re a white circle in the middle of the screen and stuff come from top bottom left right and have to shoot them, one where you dodge a dragon’s fire and then collect treasure on another screen, and finally the one where you throw pots from the top of a house to kill various spiders.

Hope this helps!

Or maybe they are actually interested in the history of the medium and can appreciate score attack games.
