My favorites Atari 2600 games in no particular order:

Pitfall
Frogger
Space Invaders
Defender
Yars Revenge
Asteroids
Q-Bert
Atlantis

While I was no fan of ET, I thought the worst game was Pac-Man. It was HORRIBLE and there was zero effort to make it anything like the arcade game. I also thought it was bad that the Atari 2600 Donkey Kong only had two boards and did not have any of the elevator boards.

They did an awesome job with Frogger - Parker Bros I think did that one.

There was one called Stellar Track that I absolutely loved. It was more of a turn-based strategy game.

I remember enjoying Kangaroo and Star Trek, too, but I was very young and don't know if these games would hold up from an adult point-of-view.
