Do you have Surround? It is such a simple, fun two-player game. My 13-year-old son and I play it whenever we break out the Atari.

I do not. I will have to keep a look out.

Surround can be fun with two players. In the early 80s, we saw it as a primitive version of the Tron lightcycle races. There's also a couple of "Video Graffiti" variations that let you leisurely decorate the screen. I don't condone it, but with those modes, one can write bad words and, for the truly wild, very blocky representations of private parts.

GOTY 1977
Also, Tron came out in 1982, and I always assumed that games like Surround were the basis for the light cycles.
EDIT: Sears sold Surround as “Chase,” making it more likely that Surroubd was the basis for the light cycle sequence.
