Atari 2600
Submarine Commander
Submarine Commander is one of those games that taxes your ability to "fill in the gaps" where 8 bit pixels fail to paint the whole picture. I could have said it was "graphically challenged" or "looks like Hell", but it's a better game than first glance might reveal. There are a slew of crappy looking one-dimensional games out there for the Atari 2600, but submarine Commander isn't one of them. Someone put a good deal of thought into it and gave it life beyond a simple single-screen game.
