Top 10 Atom Games

Post by vela025 »

Hi Everyone,

I'm adding an Atom section to the downloads area on BeeBS and having not played many Atom games (aside from Eliza, for an embarrassingly long time) I was wondering what your Top 10 Atom games are? Or any notable program/utilities?

Looking forward to some great suggestions!

Either is great, although a little * next to the new games would help me. In the BBC section there's a games bit and then a seperate new releases bit, so I would probably do the same for Atom.

All of my top 10 games are in the Atom Software Archive.
I included an Excel list with the games in the latest Atom Software Archive.

Thank you for your submissions, I went for the games that came up most frequently in your lists (including a list from hoglet). Ironically these are the largest filesizes I've needed to host. Some needed to be archived with the archiver found in the BBC Utilities Menu and Compressed wth LZCompressor (also in the utilities menu). Not sure on the practicality, but was fun to do for completenes. What options does an Atom have for getting online?

I have a wifi board for the Atom, but no terminal software at the moment.
