I would love to know what people think was the best game on the old system? Now, I am looking for actual players! No Flashback 2.0 players. Or stupid answers like Atari is stupid. Yes, it was a 1 bit game and the graohics today are nothing. But you got to love the simple design. I would love to hear from real fans of classic Atari

I loved Pitfall the most! I think it was a challenging game, most games of today are all violence. I loved the simplicity, it was very basic but incredibly fun! My father sold his in '05, bummer I would have loved to have played it more. I do own a Nintendo 64 but I really miss the Atari. Donkey Kong is way fun as well, that's actually how Mario got started. You climbed up the latters and had to watch out for things coming down the latter. It was very fun, I could play it for hours at a time. So basic but something about it was just so awesome. Night rider was so awesome as well, Pac man, I almost forgot, was probably the best!

Warlords, it was easy to pick up and could be played by 4 players using the paddle controllers. It looked like 4 player pong crossed with arkanoid/breakout. In each corner is a castle. A small rectangle moves from side to side along the castle walls to deflect the "ball". If the ball strikes the castle a chunk is removed as damage. This continues until a players walls are destroyed. Some practice with deflecting the ball could cause a chain reaction of damage IE. if the the ball gets between the castle wall and edge of the play field. This ricochet technique landed some serious damage in a short time.
One of the first multiplayer games and what a blast with 4 people. You could make temporary alliances with another player and attack someone to eliminate them or play everyman-for-himself. With a little imagination it was castle siege warfare at its best in those days.

I had the original atari, it was the 2nd computer/ gaming machine that I ever used. (over 20 years ago!)
Pitfall was probably my favourite.
Honorable mentions: Pacman, River Raid =)

I would have to say that I used to always play Night Driver. That was so basic but just a ton of fun!
