as game titles too?

For complex games on 2600 I don't think there's anything that tops Raiders of the Lost Ark (nor is anything quite as nearly impenetrable--at least to an 8 year old upon its release).

As for my all-time fav games on the platform: Yar's Revenge and Pitfall 2.

 

yes there are games more complex than raiders of the lost arc, I listed some examples earlier in the thread, the most complex is probably solaris, or maybe secret quest



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we're talking about two different types of complexity: Star Raiders is also, obviously, more complex but I'm referring to sheer 'uh, what am I supposed to do here exactly' complexity a la Myst. Perhaps "impenatrability" (as I noted above) is more accurate...
