Your top 5 videogames

I remember 3-5. I sucked at T&F. Just brutal...didn't they have hurdling? I seem to always remember you had to tap quickly in some rhythm for both that and the 100 meters and my guy would always start off decently and then trip over his own feet and then fall. That may be a different T&F game though.

Did you ever play Adventure on ATARI? It was so cool at the time, and your character was just a square.
 
My top Atari 2600 games were:

5. PacMan
4. Pitfall
3. Jungle Hunt (pretty similar to Pitfall)
2. Adventure (get that key and run from that stupid dragon!!!)
1. Yar's Revenge
 
The 2 games that I wasted most of my teenage free hours playing however, and still probably the most fun I have had on a video game, were Gunship for the Commodore 64 and F15 Strike Eagle for the Commodore 64. Especially Gunship. At the time it was pretty mind-blowing, and the game play and physics of the game are still impressive among other flight SIM games especially considering the technology it was built on.
 
Super Tecmo Bowl on NES. It was huge step forward in football. I love Madden, but the simplicity of STB was great.

Tomb Raider-Crazy how it looks like crap now, but was so awesome then

Metal Gear Solid II--Snake!!!!!!!!!!

Zelda 2-Awesome adventure

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. I remember the first time I beat Tyson, and once you learn the trick to dodge for a while (so one punch was not a KO) it was quite a bit easier. I still have the Tyson code in my memory and it has been forever since I played. 007 363 5963. HAHA. Good times.

I feel like a complete Artard for forgetting about Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Epic game.

Guys, your Atari questions are hitting home. I played intensely for a couple years. Possibly a little less. Then, something happened to one of our joysticks. My dad blamed me and refused to buy another one.

First Video Game with an Easter Egg! You could go find the invisible dot, drag it into one of the kingdoms and the black sidewall would disappear. You could then go into a secret room where it had the developer's name listed. Atari didn't allow the developers to do that at the time.

I liked Raiders of the Lost Ark. Although there was an error that could get you stuck in a weird room.

And Pong with the round controller...
 
Showing age a bit with the ATARI experience. Many people on here are probably like "WTF is an ATARI?"

First game that really sucked me in. Once our basement was flooding from the room above me (washer overflow) and I didn't even realize it because I was so sucked into the game. Water was dripping onto my dad's computer, and I thought he was typing loud. I had no idea he wasn't even in the room. LOL.
