PAC-MAN
An adaptation of the all-time classic hit, the Atari 2600 version of this game was highly anticipated, with 3 million pre-orders placed before launch. Tasked with eating all wafers in the maze while avoiding the four ghosts to proceed to the next level, Pac-Man will continuously keep you engaged and chasing that sweet high score.

I got my 2600 way back around 1980. Since then I have gone through several controllers (thanks to Activision Decathlon) and have had to clean my paddle controllers, but the fun is still there. After all these years, I can still play a mean game of Asteroids, Missile Command, Activision Decathlon, Kaboom!, Yars’ Revenge, and so on. I have since supplemented my 2600 with an Atari 7800 which also plays the same 2600 games. The Atari 2600 will always have a special place in my heart.If you have a 2600, look for an accessory called the Arcadia/Starpath Supercharger. It plugged into the cartridge slot and loaded Supercharger games from an ordinary cassette player. One of the best games for the Supercharger was their version of Frogger, whose graphics and sound rivaled the graphics and sounds of the Atari 5200 and the Atari 400/800.BTW, some of the later games (1986-1990) are outstanding…especially Jr. Pac-Man, Solaris, and Midnight Magic.
