Rate my 2600 collection/what am I missing?

I thought this would be a fun little thread. Rate my collection! Be honest! Be scathing!

I'd like to hear some thoughts on what I'm missing too. I know I want Frogs and Flies and some other games from my previous thread. The 2600 is the only system I'm actively collecting carts for at the moment.

It's missing alphabetical order!

My votes would go to:

Dark Cavern (similar to Wizard of Wor)
Defender II (waaay better than the original)
Demon Attack (good Space Invaders-type shooter)
HERO (best game on the system imo)
Kaboom! (fun paddle game)
Pitfall II (you gotta get both!)
River Raid (a classic)
Seaquest (submarine horizontal single screen shooter)
Spider Fighter (like a bridge between Space Invaders and Centipede)
Turmoil (name is apt)

Definitely, definitely check out Atari Age's homebrews.

Keystone Kaspers, kaboom, hero, stampede. Demon attack, defender, donkey kong, crystal caverns, phoenix, jungle hunt, Mario bros... list could go on, lots of cheap goodies. Just a suggestion. I'd like secret quest cib. looks interesting if a good copy turns up on ebay.

After hearing Metal Jesus talk about it time and time again (it's also in his intro) I finally gave it a try. And yes, it's definitely a really fun game. It's so easy to pick up and play, and it's addictive.
I'm parting with some duplicate Blu-Ray and DVD movies. Check out this thread if interested.

Thanks for the recommendations so far.

I actually do have a few manuals! Not many but some.
I also have the box for Pitfall and Atlantis (night artwork)

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

If, unlike most people who hate on it, you actually read the directions and learn how to play, you’ll find a pretty good game. Regardless, it’s an iconic title, and you should be able to get it pretty inexpensively.

I always liked the 2600 version of Space Invaders too. May want to look into that one.

I'll take pics this evening. Kind of a ghetto setup I've got going on. The atari stays on my work bench.

I used to own ET, actually. It wasn't too bad.
