Hi everyone
So far, I have been collaborating with Rob/AtariSpot (a buddy on Twitter) on a very basic draft of the Games That Defined the Atari 2600.
We tried to build the structure around historical impact / influence on the industry.
We have some basic notes for most of the games listed below, but we could really use some assistance fleshing out the individual write-ups for the different games.
So, if you have solid experience with any of these, I'd love to get your contributes of notes. Even if the notes aren't beautifully written, I can help polish them up.
I have a Google Doc going so we can all collaborate.
But it's a plus if you grew up with the system and remember the cultural impact and what was impressive back in the day.
Anyway, here are the games that we have included so far:
Primary Games That Fit in Our Initial Outline:
* Pitfall
* Combat
* Warlords
* Yars' Revenge
* Raiders of the Lost Ark
* E.T.
* Video Olympics
* Adventure
* Superman
* Space Invaders
* Dragster
* Pac-Man
* Ms. Pac-Man
* Air Raid
* Secret Quest
* Kool-Aid Man
* Chase the Chuckwagon
* Custer's Revenge
* Zookeeper
