I don't mean most collectible, or the most expensive, or the one someone told you was the coolest, etc. I mean, which title do you own and LOVE to play repeatedly? Which one gives you 'that' feeling every time you fire it up? For me, there are 2 that really excite me.
1. Centipede
Yeah I know it's slower paced than Millipede and you can get one on any city's CL for about $300 or so, but to me, this is the Atari Title that really brings me back. I can play several games in a row and never get tired of it. Love the sounds, love the sights, love the game play. That opening 'doot doot doot' bass sound gets my heart rate up, and the spider's tingling theme music makes my skin crawl. Who doesn't have that 'Flea Falling' sound embedded in their brains?
2. Asteroids Deluxe
Now this title was actually new to me when I picked it up back in '06. I had always played Asteroids BITD, and don't think I ever played (or even saw) a Deluxe back then. Since I've owned it, it's one of the few titles that I will play at least one game of every time I see it turned on. The cabinet is great, the floating screen is genius, and the killer satellite amps up the danger level.
