Keystone Kapers for the Atari 2600. One of the cornerstones that built Activision, it's infinitely replayable, and was a standout staple for Atari's line that separated them from Intellivision and Magnavox. EGM's Game of the Year in 1983. I'll say it's uncommon, because it took a backseat within Activision to their own River Raid and Pitfall titles, despite being arguably their best game.
didnt know pinball fantasies was ported to the jag! its one of my favourite cd32 games of all time after BASS

For the 2600 I would recommend Vanguard - plenty of explosions, great visuals (plenty of color), and the action was non-stop. Easily one of the best games ever released for the platorm.
For the Jaguar I would recommend Alien vs. Predator - Best looking game released for the short lived Jaguar. Beutiful textures, realistic audio, and great game play. Easy to see why this is the most sought after game for the platform.

Stella's Stocking for the CVS/2600.
A great set of X-mas season games that not only are fun but have title screens that are sure to impress you!

The 2600 has a pretty good version of Gyruss. While a classic back in its day, Gyruss seems to have aged poorly when compared to its peers (I never seem to hear this talked amongst other arcade hits of the early 80's) But I like it, and while Atari's version isn't the best, I dig it for managing to have a full awesome soundtrack! Grab a good controller and fire up this forgotten hit.

The Lynx is a nice little (or big?) handheld!
A personal favorite of mine (that most seem to not really care for?) is Shadow of the Beast. Great animation, great music, great subtle use of scaling, and gameplay that is solid provided you like games that require light puzzle solving and a hefty dose of memorization.

I could've sworn I gave a shout out to Blue Lightning already, but since I can't find it here it is ... I am of course not talking about the Jag cd version, but the Lynx one. The Lynx chat has put me in the mood to play it. Fun game!

Yep, I'm gonna have to second Todd's Adventures in Slime World as well. Neat little exploration game, almost like a Metroid-lite made by Apogee Software or something. Really, really enjoyable!JohnnyDude wrote:I had a Lynx. I think my favorites were "Todd's Adventures In Slime Worls" and "Super Squeek". For graphics wow-ities, I loved Electrocop and Warbirds.
The original game may not be that uncommon, but the Atari 7800 port of Centipede has an uncommon feature ... 2 player support! I can't tell you how much fun this is! I was never a huge fan of Centipede back in the day, but co-op has one me over in a big way. I know it was released on a bunch of older systems, but grab the 7800 version if you play w/family or friends.
