NES games that you didn't know were also Atari 2600 games

If you hold down the reset button when powering up the system with Space Invaders, you can double fire.

The version on 2600 wasn't called "Frog Bog", that name was used for the Intellivision version. The 2600 version, same developer and basic gameplay, was called Frogs & Flies.

When people complain about flicker or frame rate or graphics in modern games I immediately know they didn't grow up playing an Atari 2600.

I got Asteroids for Christmas one year. Opened the present weeks early, played the heck out of it and rewrapped it every night before the parents got home from work. Good times!

Moon patrol was one of my favorite games for the 2600

never heard of some of these. But I grew up on the 2600 :P I didn't play the NES until the SuperNES came out lol. Until I was old enough to buy my own console, I was always stuck a console behind all the "rich kids". I loved River Raid, Lock-n-Chase, Asteroids, PitFall, and Frogger.
edit... Oh, how could i forget Skydiver & Bowling!

The Cannibals from Jungle Hunt and Evil Otto in Berserk used to scare the bejesus out of me. Two of my favorite games along with Defender and Demon Attack.

Great list! Berzerk is one of my favorites.

The inclusion of Frostbite made this list legit, well done! Far too many forget about or don't even know about it. My all time favorite.

Excellent list! I grew up with Atari. You have to respect the programmers for delivering so much with so many limitations, most of the Atari box art was amazing, and you can't go wrong with Activision games.

44 years after it came out they are still selling Atari 2600 consoles in the form of the retron 77, and people still make games for it.

Two games that are still so much fun with 2 players are Combat and Freeway. Racing game that I loved also was Enduro. Most people think Pole Position with racing on the 2600, but Enduro was great at the time with the sky changing colors, and even a snow level. Still have a 2600 hooked up and ready to play on a moments notice. Priceless!

Joust was a pretty incredible port. Mario Bros was a lot of fun and decent too. Moon Patrol, Warlords, Star Raiders would have been on my list. Combat was a blast but you needed two people.

What I love about classic games is that graphics couldn't be a reason to like them. They had to be fun to play and they are! Even today I still play Atari. H. E. R. O is number 1 for me!

Pitfall 2 was easily the best game for the 2600. Also very good were Starmaster and Enduro

Frog bog was also called frogs and flies. I loved the setting where you could free jump and land in the water..

No Combat!? That was such a good multi player.

Adventure is my go to 2600 game. Glad to see it on the list. Surprised you didn’t mention the Easter egg.

Pitfall, in fact, has an end, when you collect all the treasures in time, which is really challenging.
