I was born with my jaw too narrow, so I have crowding of my lower teeth. Only way to fix it, is split my jaw in two, widen it and then replace my teeth with fake ones... Not gonna happen.

Dr Weston A. Price did extensive research on these issues early in the twentieth century. Take a look at his books and there are several local chapters across the US with good resources. Hope this helps!

The two missing from the two videos that I like are: SeaQuest - simple shoot' em up with twists. Circus (Atari) - pop all the red balloons and you're hooked! Now, I don't personally think Yar's Revenge is as good as everyone says. I don't know what people see in it. In order to get the big scores you have to eat away at the shield for about 5 minutes a round.

MetalJesus, Here are a few of my additions to your list of Atari Games That Don't Suck™ 1. Kaboom! - So simple in concept, so difficult to master, so addictive. For years I hosted a Kaboom tournament at my home. I still have to pull out this cart from time to time. This is a game that can really remind you of the communal aspects of owning an Atari in the early 80s. Competing with your friends over points or stages was such a big part of the fun, and one of the reasons why the graphics didn't really matter if the gameplay was programmed smartly. 2. MegaMania - Like all good Activision games... it starts out so deceptively easy and boring. But I defy any newcomer to the game to get past five screens. And then beyond that. Watch as the aliens dance around, randomly, continuing to f&*# with you. All while you have a rapidly depleting energy bar. Talk about stress! The gameplay is fast and exciting and never lets up. Great fun! 3. Video Pinball - I know a lot of people will think "What?" But there's so much great about this oddball, abstract afterthought of a pinball emulation that i would really need a separate blog post to write about it. Let me just summarize and say that once you get into it, you eventually start calling it "Jedi Ball". 4. Adventure - Does anything need to be said? A classic that will always remain a classic. 5. Space War - Basically the space version of Combat... many variants of play for two people. Once again, a great communal game. 6. Frogger - A great port of a great classic arcade game. 7. Defender - Another great port... notable for actually making the gameplay of Defender much more streamlined and easy for novices, who may have otherwise been put off by the multi-buttoned coin-op. Atari really pulled out the stops and somehow managed to fit in all features of the arcade version with just one joystick and one button, and still managed to make a fun, fast-paced and engaging game that had a fair level of stress in it! Love that disappearing ship. ROM limits at its finest. (The follow-up, Stargate, actually had graphics that were a lot closer to the coin-op, but somehow lost some of the 2600 magic of the original Defender. Agree? Disagree?) 8. Maze Craze (or Maze Mania, depending on the market) - Another amazing game for two or more friends to wile away an afternoon. A game that taps into our very basic problem-solving instincts... finding one's way out of a maze, and adds competition, threat and collaborative skill in numerous variants, plus invisible mazes (!!!!!!) for added frustration. Again, Atari shined when it took the most simple abstract concepts and made them fun. I will add honorable mentions to Air Sea Battle as another Combat-like two-player variety pack of games.... and, don't laugh, Street Racer, the most streamlined and primal quick-twitch-developing tool ever made.

Great episode! You mentioned quite a few games I am unaware of. Turmoil looks really cool and sort of reminds me of Tempest 2000 in a way, where you are sort of locked to a specific area, and you have to base your game around the multitude of specific enemy patterns. Likewise, Fantastic Voyage looks like a pretty neat shooter. And as far as Private Eye--I haven't played it, but man, the visuals look great. Few 2600 titles are *that* varied and involved. It's definitely impressive!

Cool videos once again. ;) You hit most of the big ones I would've suggested, but there are a couple others I'd suggest keeping an eye out for: One is "Off The Wall," which is without a doubt the best Breakout-style game on the entire system. It's kind of like a proto-Arkanoid, with power-up capsules and a bat who keeps trying to deflect your ball. Very, very addictive and awesome, and I highly recommend it. Also, surprised you didn't mention Keystone Kapers! That one's a true classic.

Loved ET... I only played the easy difficulty ( No FBI or Scientist ). But once you learned the tricks, it was challenging but rewarding. To be honest I think most people just hate on it because it's cool to do it, and makes you seem like you know your shit. But I finished the game all the time as a kid. So if an adult can't do it, they are just kinda stupid IMO...

Great videos (both 1 and 2). I suggest "Space Jockey" a horizontal scrolling space ship shooter. An all time favorite! Also "Fast Eddie" that's almost Donkey Kong like, nut instead if barrels to jump there were enemies to jump that randomly go from short (jump able) to mid to really tall on their legs. Timing jumps with so many unpredictable enemies was really intense!

Damn, just found your Channel and sifting through your vids but everything looks good so far! It's so sad, I had one Atari 2600 in my youth and my cousin had tons of games and the family gave it all away... if I still had all that stuff I would dive through the cartridges like Scrooge McDuck but probably it went to a garage sale or worse :/. Still got the Combat game with original packaging though - and a working copy of both, Dark Chambers and River Raid (which was even banned in my country for a while). I'll look through more videos now I guess. Cheers!, Osselpi

"Surround" was EPIC 2 (or was it 4?) players that played just like the light-cycle scene in Tron (movie) but the "walls" you build don't fade away, it's all about who can block the other in so they crash into your walls or the ones they make. White-knuckle/ hand cramping action! Cheers!

I got that from Sgt. Carter on Gomer Pyle." Then we both busted out laughing our ass's off. Another night me & a friend of mine was playing "Pole Position" & he kept wrecking, so he pulled his racer off to the side of the road & stopped as the other racers whizzed by em & I looked at em kinda funny & he looked at me & said, "Less traffic." lol Another Hallmark moment. lol

Loved your lists, mine would also include Elk Attack, Beam Rider, and who doesn’t love Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Weird yo-yo Pac-Man action, 3D horizontal tempest, and chainsaws. What’s not to love?

Ahh yes! I just was playing my Atari vadar last night and was happy to see this video pop up. You have definitely recommended some classics I have not even heard of. *cough* Beam Rider *cough*

With Yars Revenge it's well worth looking up the manual (easy to find online) as there are some really nice game variations including one called Ultimate Yars that makes gameplay a bit more complex and tactical.

Ghostbusters, Star Raiders with the video control pad, Pooyan, Asterix, F-15, California Games, Defender when you put the autofire on and turned into a flying death beam. I am interested to know how people manage to keep their consoles running. Must be easier to find pin diagrams these days. I remember playing the Atari 2600 for at least 10 years.

Many of the 2600’s games didn’t hold up very well over the years, but there are some fun competitive head-to-head games like Activision’s Tennis, Freeway, Ice Hockey, M Network’s Frogs and Flies, and Atari’s Super Football, Outlaw & Warlords. For 1 player there’s Activision’s HERO, River Raid, Keystone Kapers, Pitfall II & Seaquest and Atari’s Phoenix, Berserk, Ms Pac Man

Great list, in my 2600 collection I keep about a dozen or so games out that I really enjoy. You should add Millipede, Kangaroo, Ms. Pac-Man, Battlezone California Games and Snoopy and the Red Baron to a future list. Snoopy is especially good, despite being a children's title, in that the game play is not only really good but a game you can play for an extended period of time.

Private Eye fun too. Both PE and Frostbite available on the great GBA cart Activision comp.

I got Frostbite, Enduro, Yars Revenge. Maybe Private Eye in my Activision Anthology. I'm not sure since there are so many games in that collection. Enduro reminds me more of Sega's Turbo than Pole Position. One of my favorites, too.
