Atari 2600

Pole Position
Pole Position The dog's bollocks of racing simulations.
Watch as the g-forces squash your face like play-doh when you burn up the track like James Hunt.
Avoid those yellow rectangle things that might be other cars.
Steady round the corners, you don't want to spin off.

Centipede
Centipede The arcade gem in your home.
The success of Space Invaders led to the attack of Garden Invaders.
Shoot the centipede into little pedes while taking out the mushrooms and spiders.
More blocky fun than Lego.
Probably.

Pitfall
Pitfall One of the biggest selling games on the Atari.
Run through the jungle, jump over rolling logs, holes and crocodile mouths then make out like tarzan on the ropes.
Later released on a variety of consoles with the voice of Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell.

Dig Dug
Dig Dug Another arcade conversion and not bad for this old wireless.
Dash about underground and inflate those bad guys up with your pumpgun until they burst.
However, do not try this at home with a bike pump and a frog. It's messy. It sticks in your hair like chewing gum.

Moon Patrol
Moon Patrol Blast from the past.
Try to jump holes and craters on the moon's surface whilst shooting alien critters from the sky.
Don't play it too long or you'll have eyes like Marty Feldman.
