Pitfall and berzerk are both definately right up there with the best of them, but as for the worst, im not too sure... everyone says that E.T would be the worst but ive never actually played it. but in my opinion - Othello is pretty boring!

Solaris is one of the best, apart from being great to play it's probably also the most technically impressive, you wouldn't even think it was a 2600 game looking at the graphics.

yep i have to agree, the programmers did a great job with the visuals, which just adds to the great gameplay!

The best, thats hard to say, but some of the best are imho (in random):

Pitfall
Pitfall 2
SW Empire Strikes Back

The Worst? I don't know! There where some I didn't like, but then others may like them, so then they aren't all that bad.

My very very average YouTube video that i made about Solaris at least a year ago.

Solaris is my fav game on the Atari 2600 of all time. Using a second joystick to access the map was very smart.
