Your favorite Atari 2600 game of all time

I know it is tough to pick just one single Atari 2600 game as your favorite, given that there are hundreds. However I shall break the ice by going first. I choose HE.R.O as my favorite game. It is just a great game overall. Sadly I never beat it. Okay, your turn.

River raid, hands down. Perfect controls, great challenge, almost broke the reset button playing it just one more time.

Well, Ms. Pac-Man could be considered my favorite, but I REALLY like Frostbite. The Frogger/QBert style of gameplay is just so fast and addicting.

I have fond memories of Pressure Cooker by Activision.  No other game cracked me up as much as that one.

Vanguard.  I know the boss at the end of the level is easy but the game was so ground breaking when it was released.

Got to be Yar's Revenge.

But River Raid likely would be a close second.

Kaboom! And not even close. This game is fun for 8 year old kids even today. That really says something.

I'm pretty impressed by BattleZone, though Pitfall's way up there, too.

Hard to say one. But here are my top 5 in consideration for my number 1. Adventure, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Berzerk, Pitfall 2 and Warlords.
