2600 (in the vein of Ran's "NES" thread)

Not nearly the same scope as Ran's thread (no ESB? ARRRGH!!!), but still really cool. Some of these games are still pretty impressive. And I'm finding some I used to find hard are a breeze now that I'm used to more sophisticated games, but others are still just as tough as ever.
Oh, and, after playing ET a bit on normal difficulty and remembering I always played it on the super-easy version with no "evil" humans, I must echo the sentiment that the game sucks. It's impossible to actually get the spaceship to arrive, because the goddamn scientist always walks onto the screen at the last second, and the ship won't land if anyone else is around.
