Never did like the Pacman games, other than MS. Pacman, maybe... QuBert was
one of the more addicting ones, though. ;)

Warlords! Ah! Great 4-player game. I remember being very young and sitting
around the ol' B&W television with friends playing that game for hours!
Berserk was an amazing game for its time, so was Pitfall. Do you remember
when F-14 Tomcat came out?  It came out in 1986 when Atari made the
slimline"
2600's to compete price wise with the NES.  F14 had 64k of memory and hi-res
graphics and it was simular to Flight Simulator for the PC.  F14 was probably
the best game as far as graphics/sound goes...

Yes. Apogee, you mean? Crystal Caves came out in '84. The Atari version had
expanded memory, but used low-res graphics so the game could hold more
vels.
It also had a complete musical soundtrack, pretty rare back then!
