Adventure
Frogger
Dokey Kong
Asteroids
Centipiede
Pac-man
Mrs. Pac-Man
Kaboom!
Space invaders

and im planning on getting pitfall sometime.

I'd check out AtariAge.com. They have links to reviews on other sites. They also have game manual scans for the few atari games that you can't figure out how to play in 30 seconds.

As for games, I like Dig-Dug, Pengo, and Bank Heist. And I read Yars' Revenge is pretty good.

You should also get a 2600 emulator so you can play games before you decide to buy them.

Donkey Kong is still one of the funnest games ever, so get that one.

My dad used to have an Atari 2600, and I remember that when I was a little kid, I used to love playing Pole Position with him.

To the games you have, I suggest getting River Raid, Mario Brothers, Dig Dug, and Combat.

Of my favorite games, those are the only four I don't see on the list.

Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Centipede, and Space Invaders are all classics.

Asteroids and River Raid are good game to get. Any of those classic arcaade games are good ideas.

River Raid was The Baaeeerrrrm!! And if you ever got bored just playing it straight, there were lots of creative ways to play it. We used to try to see how far we could get without shooting at anything but bridges.
