Other gems that are still fun to play even today are: Demon Attack - Space Invaders clone, but much better. Montezuma's Revenge - difficult but fun platformer Pitfall II: The Lost Caverns - One of the most advanced platformers on the 2600 River Raid - Top down shooter. A classic! Secret Quest - mix Bezerk and Adventure and you get this game. This was the last game released for the 2600 in N.America. Uses extra chips in the cartridge to add additional gameplay and depth Solaris - Space shooter with a lot of depth Yar's Revenge - Shooter with some fun twists. Hope the helps! - Metal Jesus
