Donkey Kong – Atari 2600
The first Mario game I ever owned. While all my friends were having a blast with Super Mario Bros. 3, I was knew the real party was here on the Atari 2600, the duct-taped console I had received. I cried myself to sleep most nights — totally unrelated. Anyway, this version of Donkey Kong, surprisingly, rocks.

Ghost Manor – Atari 2600
It’s almost Halloween, and you want to play your Atari. But alas, you don’t know of any games themed appropriately for the impending holiday. Luckily for you, I do. Ghost Manor might not be the best shocks the Atari 2600 has to offer … or it may … In all the confusion, I sort of lost track myself. Better read this story so you know.

Robot Tank – Atari 2600
There isn’t much you could call a first-person shooter on the Atari 2600, but with “Robot Tank,” Activision just manages to fill the criteria, with a game that stands up today better than most Atari fare.

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial – Atari 2600
Nerd Bacon’s Variand bites the bullet and reviews the WORST GAME EVER, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. Did Atari Just Phone it in or was it something to phone home about?

Pac-Man – Atari 2600
If we ever needed a lesson on how not to port an arcade game, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 is that. This isn’t a retro-version of Pac-Man, this is crap.

Dragonfire – Atari 2600
Dragonfire has more fire jumping, dragon evasion, and treasure collecting than ten normal games put together. If long, complex games that want to displace your real life have you ready to hang up your gamepad forever, you might give Dragonfire a try — it might just pull you back in again.

Dolphin – Atari 2600
If you think Ecco was the first video game dolphin, you haven’t been to 1983. Activision’s Matt Hubbard loved dolphins so that he coded a game intended to inspire interest in marine life. Did it work? Did it? I mean, did it?

Haunted House – Atari 2600
It was a dark and stormy night. A dark, four-story house filled with three pieces of a magical urn, a ghastly ghost with unfinished business, four tarantulas and a vampire bat loomed in the distance. Sound like a party? The bash is on your Atari 2600. But can any real sense of dread be culled from the rustic ole 2600? Enter the mansion and find out.

Strategy X – Atari 2600
With one of the hottest-looking tanks available on the Atari 2600, smooth-scrolling scenery and action that alternates the need for frenetic and calculated reactions, you might think ‘Strategy X’ really brings the goods. Unfortunately, for everything Konami did right with this one, gamers may feel less like going back in for one more try and more like they’re being forced to push a boulder up a hill. Repeatedly. Forever.
