What are the best games to play on the Atari 2600?
pacpix:
Here is the highly controversial top 120 Atari games

My personal favorites are:
Wizard of Wor
Space Cavern
Keystone Kapers
Yar's Revenge
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Seaweed Assault
And more, but all of mine are in that thread already.
burningdoom:
A lot of the more famous arcade ports (Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Frogger, Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, etc.) have better versions on just about any other console. You want to look at Atari 2600 exclusives, really.

Yars' Revenge, actually. Yar's Revenge is the modern sequel that no one but me played :P

For multiplater you definitely want something like Combat, Warlords or Video Olympics (which is really just various versions of Pong). For single-player, Yars' Revenge, Pitfall, Berzerk, Jr. Pac-Man, Chopper Command and Adventure are well worth checking out. (Adventure is very odd though)
thecrypticodor:
Dragonfire
Seaquest
Battlezone
Frostbite
Stargate (AKA Defender II goes by both names)
Stampede
Millipede (To a lesser extent Centipede)
Warlords (Killer multiplayer game that supports up to 4 players with 2 sets of paddles)
Berzerk
Joust
Missle Command
Jr and Mrs Pacman
Moon Patrol
Gravitar (My personal favorite)
Crystal Castles
H.E.R.O.
Moon Sweeper (My 2nd Favorite)
Moon Patrol
Phoenix
River Raid
River Raid II (note doesn't work on 6 switchers)
