#14 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Rules:

  1. Two games will win their place each round (we start from #1 and work our way down). For the top 10 only one game will win per day instead.
  2. Most combined upvotes for each of the two individual games (one individual game for the top 10) wins the spot(s) each round (upvotes add while downvotes subtract).
  3. Nominate one game of the Atari 2600 per comment. (Nominations will only be counted if the game title is the only comment or if you specify that your choice of game is your nomination for this round within your comment or if the nominated game is clearly separated from the rest of your comments.) (ex. Pitfall or I nominate Pitfall this round.) Please nominate using the full title of the game.
  4. Name a specific game title, not entire runs.
  5. Official Atari 2600 multi-game cartridge(s) are allowed, just list them correctly.
  6. The Atari 2600 is region free so ANY official games available on the console are eligible for nomination.
  7. Indy games are allowed as long as they have their own individual cartridge and can be played on original hardware.
  8. Only complete games on cartridge(s) can be nominated (sorry Cheetah Program & test cartridges).
  9. If two or more games would be tied to place for a ranking I will inform DA PEOPLE in the following post so that everyone can vote which games should get the ranking between the tied options.
  10. Games nominated that have not already placed on the top 100 list should not be removed at any time by the individual who originally placed them.

Ms. Pac Man for sure.

Can't believe we are this far into the list and it hasn't been nominated. Great port and thousands of times better than the Pac-Man port.

I think a top 50 would suffice here, maybe a bit more if homebrew is included
