Had both of those as a kid. Chopper Command was always one of my faves.

Get river raid next. River raid is absolutely fantastic and goes well with chopper command.

Chopper command a better Defender than what Atari made.

Awesome.

Man, I loved 70's and 80's box art.

You should look up this book!

I've wanted that one and there was a good one for the NES too. I was just thinking about how I miss the posters we used to get in boxes and magazines.

i never played a atari game but i always wanted to get into the console a bit, any recommendations?

Can't go wrong with Activision titles, otherwise enjoy the oddness. There's a lot to enjoy 🙂

Warlords!

[–] Guitar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Star Raiders and Berserk are pretty good. Star Raiders was way ahead of it's time.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Cosmic Ark. Blasting the asteroids tests your reaction speed, then you reach a planet where you carefully beam animals up into your shuttlecraft and race back to the saucer. Repeat to populate your Ark with a high score.

Super Brakeout. But only if you can get the paddle controllers.
