I thought Moon Patrol was the coolest arcade game ever made when I was a kid. I would beg and beg to play that at the bowling alley.
Joust fan over here when I wasn't beating up a Burger Time or Q-Bert machine.
Atari, big fan of Combat and Berzerk.
Moon Patrol is a GOAT
Tell me the pre-race music isn't sizzling in your ears right now.....
Damn, that was a good game.
Once upon a time I was an avid 2600 game collector. Someone had figured out a way to pack a couple hundred mostly rare games on one cartridge and you scrolled through the games by switching 8 or so micro switches on or off with the end of a paper clip. I bought it on eBay. There were about twenty games on it that were actually sold in stores that are so offensive you couldn’t even talk about them on this site. I was floored that the gaming companies got away with selling them back in the day.
One of the milder “bad” games was a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game where you are Learherface decapitating bystanders only pausing to refuel your saw.
And that is one of the milder ones.

Ivan Stewart’s Off-Road Racing was awesome too. The 4 player version.
It is kind of amazing the leap we went from Atari to the NES. I don't think there is more than a couple Atari games that are still worth booting up and playing today. There are a ton of NES games that still hold up and play great today.
Not an Atari game (SNES), but this got me thinking about Super Baseball Simulator 1000. Absolutely loved that game and played the crap out of it.
