What Ed Fries accomplished is nothing short of amazing. Its Adventure meets Berserk in the Halo universe, and despite that sounding crazy, it works. I rank it up there with Warlords and Combat as one of my favorite 2600 titles.

The Atari 2600 has a place in my heart,i can tell you playing the more regular games for the system is great fun but it can even more interesting seeking out and playing the more obscure games that were made by third parties like Fast Food,Ram it,Communist Mutants from Space,etc there were simply so many games made for it you will find some games that you have never heard of and enjoy them.

I had a blast playing Dig Dug on 2600 yesterday. I know this isn't the only version (or even the best version) of Dig Dug, but it is lots of fun.
