Best Game On Atari 2600

A great example of how a concept so simple can be executed so perfectly for its time, Space Invaders kicked the quick arcade action of the 70s/80s into full gear. It's good for what it manages to do, which is find a way to make now archaic graphics into a surprisingly exciting, albeit repetitive, space shooter adventure. If you have just a little bit of spare time, it's certainly worth checking out.
