Some of my favourite 2nd gen games are Space Invaders, Asteroids, Breakout, Pitfall, and River Raid.

River Raid looks fun.

I loved Breakout (or arkanoid), but the graphics are horrible in my taste. I know though you can't argue taste.

 

I loved space invaders, but honestly it's as fun as it is ugly in my tastes.

I find there's an elegance to the 2nd gen's simplicity. As long as they look coherent and functional, and don't interfere with gameplay, 2600 graphics are just fine in my opinion.
