	"Missile Command" is misspelled.

	I'm surprised at some of these. I put in ET as a joke, because it was one of the most infamous failures of video game history, and didn't expect it to be one of the platform's top-selling games. Adventure FTW.

	Apparently the games I had were not the popular ones since most did not appear on this list. How could Combat not be on this list. Everyone had Combat. (Although I did guess E.T. but never had the game.)

	RandallPinkston:	Oct 8th, 2008 at 11:40 GMT	4 points
	I think that Combat was included with the system when you bought it, so that may be why it's not listed. I was surprised not to find Breakout, Night Driver, Asteroids, etc., but a nostalgic smile came to my face when Kaboom worked.

	Wow, this brings back memories. I found this website at which you can actually PLAY Adventure: http://www.simmphonic.com/programming/flash.htm#

	Dig Dug didn't make the cut! How sad.

	yeah, reaching the fringes of my memory on this one... surprised no dig dug, breakout, pong, basketball (were these on the 5200 or 7800 instead?... i should go wikipedia). but the good news is that if this atari 2600 list was put up today, that means nintendo, sega genesis lists, etc... should be coming up in the next couple of weeks :)

	One of my friends had the Intellivision console back then. Instead of the joystick, it contained a thumb-pad controller. We played a lot of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and Burger Time.

	No Atari for me, which is why I failed at this game. We had a Commodore 64. I'm going to try and get my father-in-law, a printer, to make me a T-Shirt that says load"chopperrun",8,1. Sweet.

	Mr_T:	Oct 8th, 2008 at 21:56 GMT	8 points
	Wow - no Frogger? Combat? Defender? Breakout? Yar's Revenge? Pole Posistion? Asteroids? Q-Bert? Spy Hunter?

	Jeremy:	Oct 8th, 2008 at 23:24 GMT	6 points
	I'm with Mr. T. Especially Combat, Pole Position and Asteroids. Everyone had those games.

	Chad:	Oct 8th, 2008 at 23:41 GMT	3 points
	What about Donkey Kong and Plaque Attack those were classics too

	tcalleen:	Oct 9th, 2008 at 04:47 GMT	3 points
	I had an intellivision at the time, so this one was tough. I guessed a lot of the ones that weren't listed, but I'm horrified that I couldn't even manage to get Pac-Man! Speaking of Pong - did anyone else have the original Pong that came in its own console with attached knobs?

	Seth Becker:	Oct 9th, 2008 at 06:19 GMT	4 points
	I'd like to know what the basis of this list was? I find it hard to believe that Asteroids, Breakout, Defender, and something from the "real sports" series wasn't on the list

	Not very accurate. Combat and Asteroids, Breakout, and many others sold over a million copies. 1 star.

	I love pac man

	WeaselBoy:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 20:37 GMT	2 points
	I had the original pong and would have neighbors come over just to see the "latest" technology

	in my opinion, the atari 2600 joystick was the best game controller ever. yes, i'm a dinosaur. but it was simple, responsive, and sufficient. most of the subsequent controllers were too clunky and complex for me. yes, i'm a simpleton.

	Man I'm old...got 5/12 which looks to be far above the average. What's the difference between Pitfall and Jungle Hunt? I had Jungle Hunt...and every screen shot I've ever seen for Pitfall looks exactly the same as Jungle Hunt. I was really hoping Jungle Hunt would count for Pitfall, as I can never remember Pitfall. To echo others, really surprised super breakout, pole position were not among the most popular.

	stunned to not see asteroids on here...seemed like everyone had that game growing up...or what about raiders of the lost ark?..
