Although you can get them to work fairly well if you use your thumb to work the "knob" in the same manner you would a modern controller's analog stick. The metal leaves seem to make better contact with the controller PCB that way. |

I think calling them "favorites" would be stretching it, but these are the games I remember the most from my childhood - all Atari 2600 (in no order): Pac-Man Berzerk River Raid Pitfall! Spider Fighter Frankenstein's Monster Jungle Hunt Congo Bongo Riddle of the Sphinx Cosmic Ark |

--- Quote from: burningdoom on March 31, 2014, 12:26:57 am ---I'm not a big fan of the popular classic arcade-style games of the time, so my list will probably look a little different than others. 3. The Oregon Trail (Apple II) --- End quote --- You said it all with this game! One of the only reasons I enjoyed school as a kid in the early 90s. My list: Carmen Sandiego (DOS Versions) Keystone Kapers (2600) The Oregon Trail (Apple II) Ms Pac Man (2600) Don't know if this counts but "SKIFREE" that was with Windows 3.1. I dont have much anything else to add because I got my first Atari 2600 last year and I'm still learning the games library for it. |

I'm not sure Windows-based really counts here for 2nd generation. Back in the 2nd generation, most PCs ran on BASIC or some variation of DOS. |
