Not a very good year imo. I dont know...MJR would definetly pick H.E.R.O. lol

I love the Punch-Out series, but not the arcade games. Ill just go with Kings Quest even though I havent played it. Just seems like a very influental game.

H.E.R.O. is one of the best games on the Atari 2600.  However, by 1984 almost no one cared.  I remember I kept checking the game store regularly for new Atari 2600 games, but almost everyone else had stopped playing.  I picked up both H.E.R.O. and Pitfall 2 in 1984, but the Atari 2600 was well past its prime by that point.
