My personal favorite 2600 game is Pressure Cooker. You can play it on Activision Anthology. Only probably with the game is you really NEED to read the instructions before playing to really understand how to play it right. But once you get it, it's a surprisingly complicated game for the 2600.
If I had an Xbox One, Rare Replay would be one of the few games I would get for it.
I first played JetPac on Donkey Kong 64. It was a secret game in there. JetPac Refueled was one of the first Xbox LIVE games I played.
I couldn't get past the part in Fantasy where you have to land the hot air balloon on the pirate ship. The cannons always got me.
When I was a kid I was scared of SiniStar. I would purposely walk as far away from the cabinet as possible when I was in an arcade.
Gyruss and Time Pilot are freaking awesome. The guy who made those games would later work at Capcom and help make games like Mega Man and Street Fighter.
For some reason, I've never really 'got' Yars' Revenge, even though a lot of people say it's the 2600's best game.
Ew I hate math. It's my one weakness.
Here's my really old review:

I remember playing Space Invaders: Infinity Gene on my Xbox 360. My brother Jeff uploaded some Van Halen songs onto my 360 hard drive somehow and so I used those in the game. I think I like Space Invaders Extreme better, though.
Yeah I think Jeff told me when he was writing his review that the monster synthesizing stuff was giving him trouble, too.
I had an opportunity to review that Retro Bowl game when it first came out. But I passed on it as I'm not a big football fan.
I reviewed a game a few months ago that was a rip off of Vampire Survivor called Catlord. The game didn't sell me on the concept, but that's probably because it wasn't a very good clone, I would think.

My brothers showed me a Yakuza game that was set in the 80s and all I did in it was play Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone in the arcade and talked to the cute arcade lady. I'd be a horrible gangster I guess.
Looks like it might be a good time to 'break out' (so to speak) games like Activision Anthology, Atari 50, and maybe a Namco Museum.
