Burn the heretic !

You’ve listed the most basic games when there were many 3rd titles from Parker Bros , Spectra Video, Imagic etc.

I liked Gorf, Starwars , Atlantis … there were loads more

Combat and Gorf are amazing. I may feel that way about Combat because it was the first one I remember playing. However, Gorf is like three games in one so you got a lot of bang for your buck in playtime.

I wouldn't presume to have even 20% of the 2600 games that bring something different and good to the table, it's just (to misquote Samuel Johnson), for so many of them the good parts are not different and the different parts are not good.

And again, that's completely apart from a personal nostalgia (god knows I indulge in that) or to propose that they're simply not fun in a binary sense. If I'm 12 and I get 2600 Venture I enjoy the hell out of it, but if I'm a middle aged man in 2024, at the bare minimum I'm going for this.
