What are some good Atari 2600 games?

[cornacchia]

I just picked up an Atari 2600 off craigslist for $5 and now I need to get some games for it. I am looking for some classic hits and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Pitfall 2, Cosmic Ark, Crystal Castles, Missile Command, Jungle Hunt, and lots of others I can't think of right now.

Other good ones:

Adventure (I believe this is the game that originated the convention of moving off one end of the screen to get to a new one)
Yar's Revenge
Berzerk
H.E.R.O.
A lot of people like the 2600 version of Space Invaders
Pitfall!

My favorite Atari game of all time is defiantly RIVER RAID!!! Me and my cousin loved that game we wrote a song about it.
