Beamrider
This is probably the best Atari 2600 game, and it’s certainly my favorite for the system. It plays to the system’s strengths and is easy to learn yet difficult to master in the way a lot of the best games of the early 1980s are. It looks and sounds great by not trying to do too much, but just enough to be aesthetically appealing. Had this come out as a coin op, or even two or three years earlier, it would be an undisputed classic along side the likes of Galaga and Yar’s Revenge. If you like the classic space shooters of the golden age of arcade games, you will absolutely love this.
