  • There were hundreds of games released for the Atari 2600. The console was a revolution for the video games industry and its influence on the medium is astronomical. I've heard a lot of people say that the games released on the console just don't hold up. As a matter of fact, I had someone comment on the last video I did on this topic that games on the 2600 "were never fun." Apparently, the primitive people of the past were so simple minded and desperate for activity that they bought 30 million units of this console even though they didn't really enjoy playing it. He also expressed sympathy for me having to "scrap the bottom of the barrel" for content by covering the Atari VCS. Well, no need to be sorry, dude. I'm happy to be back to scrape some more up in this video. There are tons of games that are still amazing experiences. Here we have five more Atari 2600 games that are still fun to play.

      Thanks, dude! Dragonfire is one that I wish I had known growing up, but I'm super glad I know about it now!

    I loved that Atari commercial. I wasn't around in the 80s but that was so nostalgic to see!
    Kaboom-Looks pretty cool! It's almost like a Breakout where you have to catch the ball. Ha ha, your reactions to Kaboom. I know you're exaggerating for the sake of the video but I feel that! That's how I am when I play games too.
    Frogger-Oh yes! Frogger is always a classic! Frogger was kinda my first video game I ever had so when I got my Atari, you better believe Frogger was one of the first games I got for it. And yeah it still holds up!
    Enduro-I think you got that in a box recently didn't you? The visuals reflecting changing the time of day sounded really fascinating I have to get this one.
    Dragonfire-This is one I've not heard of but this game looks really cool! I'll have to get this one!
    Haunted House-YES!! I don't know why but I REALLY like this game. I like spooky stuff though so that might be why but I agree, the item placement changing every time you play makes each play through different. There are sometimes where I've beaten a level in under a minute and other times I feel I've explored the whole mansion and can't find a piece. And you know what for 8 bit ghost sprites, there is still a lot of uneasy tension when you play, "oh no! He's right there! Run!"
    Another great video!

      There's just nothing quite like old video game commercials.
      Definitely check out Enduro and Dragonfire; great games. Every game in this video, except for Kaboom, I actually got in one of my boxes.

    that free Pac Man was a system seller.....sadly lol I loved Frogger so much growing up!

      We didn't have Pac Man growing up, but we did have Ms. Pac Man which still holds up pretty well to this day.

      I knew Pacman was not that good for the VCS, so my parents bought me a Defender bundle. Unfortunately, that was crap as well.

    I love the Dragon Warrior music while presenting Dragonfire. Dragonfire is one of the few games I cannot play with a CX-40. I have to pull out something more rugged.

      I've been playing this with a Hyperkin Ranger lately. I imagine a Genesis controller would probably work pretty well; I will have to try that. Thanks for watching!

    Kaboom was awesome, it was actually easier for some reason to only have one bucket. It was a bummer when the paddle controllers started to wear out and go wonky.
