A Near-Full Tier List Of 70s Atari 2600 Games
With only a couple games left to go and me needing to 'git gud' in one of them, it's only logical that it's time to wrap things up with a good old fashioned tier list!
Note: Some of my opinions have changed over time, so if some of the ordering doesn't make sense to you if you've read earlier reviews, that's why.
Football, Slot Racers and Superman will be added to the list if I can either find a second player (first 2) or a cartridge of the game (last one).
We got 28 games to go over here. F tier to A tier in that order. No S cuz there's zero games that really fit that bill. Let's rock.
F Tier
#28 Space War (11/40)
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Who thought porting a game from 1962 was a good idea on a console that already had surperior alternatives of the genre? The singleplayer was the worst gaming experience i've ever had. It's not even in space, dangit! Disastrous release.
#27 Slot Machine (11/40)
The title doesn't lie, this sure is a slot machine. And that is all it is. How does one manage to have less value than Basic Math, I wonder? Should've given more memory to Casino, Atari...
#26 Hunt & Score (10/40)
Awful controls, lacking visuals, horrendous noises and it's much, much, much cheaper to buy a copy of a real memory match game anyway. The (second) worst of the worst, even amongst several weak 1978 releases that held no value as soon as better games came out.
#25 Miniature Golf (11/40)
What am I even looking at? You move a square and that determines the angle of another square bouncing around, which is as tedious as it sounds. Squares squares square. Ourgh, I hate it. If only it had more holes so I could hate it even more.
D Tier
#24 Basic Math (12/40)
Woof, okay. As a random math problem generator with funny sound effects, it... functions. That's all I can say about it. It's a blank screen if you remove the numbers. This is my lowest of the low bars for what is somewhat passable in some regards and what isn't.
#23 Hangman (14/40)
Impressive selection of words due to being the first game with expanded memory. Now why you would spend your bucks on this when a piece of paper is something almost everyone has, I wouldn't know. Nobody wants to play Hangman alone.
#22 Street Racer (18/40)
Even more boring than Indy 500. Every mode plays the same as each other with very mild changes. Number Munchers is as good as it gets, and that's only because it's over sooner.
#21 Code Breaker (14/40)
Graphically almost as bad as flippin' Basic Math, made worse by how confusingly it plays it's cards and the fact that half the screen estate ain't being used while playing Nim. Below all the rubbish, Nim managed to curve out a tiny place in my heart due to it's alright AI.
#20 Flag Capture (16/40)
Better than Code Breaker due to being a more justified release. Otherwise, forgettable. So much so, that i'm out of things to say.
#19 Home Run (16/40)
A kinda ass way to play baseball, however props must be given for hardly having a point of reference at this point. It completely trumps the RCA Studio II version and it seems to be fairly close to the version by Epoch in Japan. Major positive is that it's a lot faster than it's contemperaries.
C Tier
#18 Outlaw (20/40)
Based on a revolutionary arcade title with a proper microprocessor. I find this one very dull. At least it has some minor things going for it like being able to deconstruct the obstacles in your way. Well done Outlaw, you did the bare minimum.
#17 Indy 500 (21/40)
Extremely mid racing. Single players are gonna be done with it in 3 seconds flat as the time trialing is not fun at all. Multiplayer is oooooookay. Decent engine noises for the time.
#16 Brain Games (18/20)
Errrrhhh, I may have been slightly too harsh earlier. Visually it's kinda gross, however you could argue that the collection of brain teasers here ain't too awful. I had a modicrum of fun with some of 'em.
#15 Star Ship (22/40)
The most striking game of the launch lineup for attempting first person well before a game could do it for realsies. I can appreciate it as an art form, as a game though? I'm good.
#14 Sky Diver (21/40)
At least it doesn't fuckin' squeal at ya at all times like in the arcade. However, unlike that version, it's pretty much multiplayer-only and the thrill of seeking a high score got almost completely butchered as a result. Satisfactory port, nothing more.
#13 Human Cannonball (20/40)
Has some personality in the form of the guy you shoot out of the cannon, and I found myself somewhat immersed by the smart way the game's visuals came to be. Otherwise, dull as dishwater.
#12 Basketball (21/40)
The first proper attempt at a realistic ball sports title. It tries a 3D perspective and for competitive play, I can see a decent time being had here. The repetition and lack of modes very much hurt it unfortunately.
#11 Blackjack (23/40)
An entirely functional and sorta addicting take on the card game of old. Gets completely trounced by Casino which is essentially an enhanced version of this.
#10 Bowling (24/40)
Falls under the same kinda umbrella as Basketball. Don't mind this one. It has good visuals (a multicolor sprite!) and a goofy dance when you clear all the pins. Kinda wears thin once you know where to stand however.
#9 Video Chess (23/40)
The best AI of the console put into a cart that could barely handle it. Sluggish movement, long loading times and hard-to-discern visuals make it a hard sell now. However, back THEN, this fuckin' kicked ass for the common man. It gets a formal handshake from me.
B Tier
#8 Air Sea Battle (28/40)
A fine introduction to the Atari 2600's library. I think it's sorta boring and the AI is hardly a contest, but the multiplayer is still enjoyable enough and it's audiovisually one of the better launch games.
#7 Casino (22/40)
How I gave this a lower score than Blackjack, I have no idea. You can play the same exact game again here with improved visuals, or dive into a couple variaties of poker, of which I actually really like Poker Solitaire. Good package!
#6 Backgammon (27/40)
Graphically one of the most impressive games on 2600 so far. Gameplay-wise, yeah it's Backgammon and Acey Deucy alright. This game thought me the ropes and i'm thankful for it. I would almost call this a worthy substitute for buying the real thing. Almost.
#5 Canyon Bomber (26/40)
Very solid ports of two middling arcade games, Canyon Bomber and Destroyer. It only made sense as they were essentially two peas in a pod from the getgo. Tired of Air-Sea Battle and in the need of something you can also play competently alone? This one's for you.
#4 Breakout (25/40)
I WILL get back to this one. I promise. The Atari 2600+ is coming in in 2 weeks and will allow me to play it with an actual paddle controller for the first time. Playing with a controller does not do it justice. It's Pong for the score hunters. 8 modes with 4 variations each is only rivalled by those coming up ahead on the list.
A Tier
#3 Surround (27/40)
Doesn't have the quirky ASMRy noises from arcade Dominos, otherwise this is an extremely solid competitive pre-Snake Snakelike. Very replayable because it allows you to doodle around freely, too.
#2 Combat (31/40)
The quintessential pack-in for the 2600 in it's early years. I don't like that it lacks a singleplayer mode completely- the multiplayer is still a hoot on occasion though. Even contains some funny glitches if you're into that sorta thing.
#1 Video Olympics (33/40)
Pong remains a classic that's still good for the occasional bout. This is that, but with a TON of other modes to invite a pal over for. The single player is destined to play one mode, however the AI is competent enough to keep that fresh for a little bit too. Easily the definitive way to play gaming's granddaddy.
Soon, Video Olympics shall be rivalled or even dethroned. The 2600's hayday is about to kick into high gear. And with that, I mean a couple weeks as I wait for my new old console to arrive in the mail. See ya then, you goofy video game crash instigator.

Dickey Betts Dead at 80
- “The monuments that he helped to create for Southern rock will never be replicated,” the Marshall Tucker Band says
Dickey Betts, the Allman Brothers Band co-founder who was ousted from the group in 2000, has died, the guitarist’s family said.
Betts, 80, died April 18 at his home in Florida. No cause was given.
Betts’ family remembered the musician as a “legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch” in their statement.
“His loss will be felt worldwide,” they said.
With Betts’ death, drummer Jaimoe is the last surviving original Allman Brother.
“Sad, sad day,” Tinsley Ellis said. “Rest in peace, Dickey Betts.”
Betts co-founded the ABB in 1969, establishing a 12-string conversation with fellow guitarist Duane Allman and quickly became “an essential component of the Allman Brothers Band’s improvisatory magic,” as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said in a eulogy.
“One of the best to ever do it,” Tedeschi Trucks Band said of Betts. “Rest easy, Dickie.”
After Duane’s death, Betts, as lone axeman, was the country to Gregg Allman’s blues, giving the band its biggest hit with “Ramblin’ Man” and imbuing the ABB songbook with epic instrumentals such as the jazzy “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” inspired by a tombstone in the cemetery where Gregg and Duane Allman now lie, and the countrified “Jessica,” inspired by Betts’ daughter. And Betts’ 1974 LP Highway Call is an album anyone who calls themselves a fan of bluegrass or Americana music must have in their collection.
“Dickie more than anyone had an impressionable impact in shaping and defining the genre of music that has come to be known as Southern rock,” the Outlaws said in a statement. “The influence of his musicianship and songwriting skills are immeasurable and his passing marks the end of an era.”
The Marshall Tucker Band echoed the Outlaws, saying: “The monuments that (Betts) helped to create for Southern rock will never be replicated.”
After a time, the ABB returned to its two-guitar format and Betts played alongside such masters as Dan Toler, Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson and Derek Trucks before he and the group split acrimoniously in 2000.
“He was passionate in life, be it music, songwriting, fishing, hunting, boating, golf, karate or boxing,” the Allman Brothers said in a statement attributed to the “band, family and crew.”
“Dickey was all in on and excelled at anything that caught his attention. … Play on, Brother Dickey, you will be forever remembered and deeply missed.”

The 6th March 1457 was the day the King banned football and golf.
King James II's Act of Parliament banned golf and football in a resolution of the 14th Parliament, convened in Edinburgh, it is the earliest known written evidence for the game in Scotland.
On March 6, 1457, the games of football and golf (“futbawe and ye golf”) were banned with a vengeance (“utterly cryt done”). This ban was repeated in 1471 when Parliament thought it “expedient [th]at…ye futbal and golf be abusit.” In a resolution passed in 1491, football, golf, and other useless games were outlawed altogether (“fut bawis gouff or uthir sic unproffitable sports”). In addition, these texts enjoined the Scottish people to practice archery, a sport which might be put to good use in defending the country.
Here is a transcript from the actual bill of parliament, seen in the picture and held by the National Library of Scotland.
.....o'Item it is ordanyt and decretyt that Wapinschawing be haldin be ye lordis and baronys spirituale and temporale four tymes in ye yeir. And [th]at ye futebawe and ye golf be uterly cryt done and not usyt And [th]at ye bowe markes be maid at all parochkirks a pair of butts And schuting be usyt ilk Sunday ... And touchand ye futebaw and ye golf We ordane it to be punyst be ye baronys unlaw. And if he tak it not to be tain be ye kings officars.'.....and the translation.
'Item, it is ordained and the decreed that the lords and barons both spiritual and temporal should organise archery displays four times in the year. And that football and golf should be utterly condemned and stopped. And that a pair of targets should be made up at all parish churches and shooting should be practised each Sunday ... And concerning football and golf, we ordain that [those found playing these games] be punished by the local barons and, failing them, by the King's officers.'
Read more about Golf and the bans on the National Libraries of Scotland site https://digital.nls.uk/golf-in-scot…/historical-sources.html
Of course there aer still places in Scotlnd that you can't play sports on Sundays....playing any sport is still frowned upon in some communities in the Western Isles as seen in the last two photos

Golf courses should be outlawed and the space should be converted into lush native foliage sex gardens where government subsidized ecstasy is provided upon arrival. Each should have a minotaur somewhere inside. Obviously also subsidized by the government

Whoever thought of Casey Jones using every Sports Equipments in his Bag during his Attack Animation instead of having to switch Weapons like Hockey Sticks to Bats, like I thought he would, is a Fricking Genius and I love how his Golf Club can One-Hit Kill any Foot Soldiers when Fully Charged too

please post your own favorite character moment, social moment, or fan story, gif, fic etc for David's birthday today! here's mine: as I was telling @martianbugsbunny & @monsterstaybroken I've been a fan of David's from literally the beginning. I watched Alias when it was originally on air (ironically mostly season 2 & 5), then after school I'd watch repeats on TNT at like 4pm lol. I do remember when I first noticed him, I was maybe 11 or 12 & it was Alias s3, I'd always loved Syd/Vaughn, had seen him during season 2 (the episode where he tries to kill/not kill Sloan) and the thing with Allison. but during s3 I just rememeber thinking wow he's cute and cool. like his attitude was just so suave and wanted to listen to him even though he was a baddie. with that accent who wouldn't? lol. funny enought my favorite Charmed episode was his before I realized it was him. I'd watched OUAT over the years after that on/off as I've told before, but never consistant. but last year I was looking for a distraction, somehow during my Captain Swan & Outlaw Queen deepdive Frankenwolf jumped out at me & everyone knows I love them lol. not sure how I even found David's page but I knew it was him on Alias (and a casual Heroes viewer) and that was it. after losing my mom so suddenly, what a comfort his videos were to find. this was the first video I found out he could sing & was just like "he sings too?!" 'cause somehow everyone I watch sings lol. but seeing those everyday got me to smile and want to do things again. what's funny though is as much as I love his baddies I remember thinking he should do a Hallmark movie to play a good guy (I even said it in my Magnum post) and a few weeks later he started the Christmas movie, and the fact it's about a single mom raising a disabled child, that won me even more. he even followed my instagram once which felt really special. this post undersells it but I adore his personality & his work. I even found his onscreen bro Chad's Sniper movies this way which I love. things may have been tough at times but I don't regret re-finding such a good person, actor, and sunshine. smile so big, eyes bright, silly golf videos, and random jokes in the middle of the night posts. so Happy Birthday, David!! thankyou for the kindness to fans and joy you bring to everything you do! <3

Story time. The first golfball to fly straight after being hit, in other words it didn't hook or slice, was invented by a physicist and his friend (I want to say he was a chemist, but it seems his name was wiped from the Polara website.) Now, I know this story because my grandfather was the physicist. And there was a long legal battle after the fact that eventually ended in my grandfather and his friends favour. But let's get to the fun bits of the story. My grandfather was not a golfer. But he understood physics. He worked with NASA, he chaired at a reputable university. He and his friend developed the ball and marketed it. The golf association, like many sporting associations wanted their cut of the money this ball would generate. When this was denied, they outlawed the use of that ball for tournament use calling it "unfair advantage" when every player could technicall use it. And this outlaw held up for years... and I don't rightly recall if it was ended after the settlement, or if ti ended after the original patent was up. But straight flying balls are now allowed in tournament play. I spent time a few months back trying to dig up the original patent via the patent office's website. Which is horrible to say the least. Especially trying to look up by name, as it didn't even bring up any WITH the name I was searching for. Eventually found it by going through the golf ball patents, which there are surprisingly a lot of. The brand has since made improvements to the ball's design, and redone the patent every so often, but the first straight flyer was the Polara. My grandfather eventually sold his part to his partner, and I don't know what happened after that. My big takeaway from this whole story is that innovation is wonderful, unless certain people don't profit from it, then it's held back. Which is what I see repeated all over the place in this world... And it's a little depressing... but it doesn't mean we give up on trying to make things better.
