Any suggestions for Atari 8 bit computer games?

I was lucky enough to grow up on this system and there are some absolute bangers out there:
Mission: Shark (or Misja on the European continent): arguably one of the best games on the systems. Silky smooth animation, great gameplay loop, fantastic music. Janusz Pelc at his best.
Rescue on Fractalus: fantastic foray into faux-3D. You'll never forget the first time you picked up your first "pilot"...
H.E.R.O: finely balanced, a great time killer.
Encounter: far beyond it's years, the precursor to open world games
Fred: another J Pelc masterpiece. Great platformer.
Star Raiders II: beautiful shooter. The space shoot em' ups of today can trace their combat gameplay directly back here.
Lode Runner: one of the best and smoothest implementations of this game, along with...
Chuckie Egg: the original and best.
Zybex: a competent shooter with some of the best chiptunes you'll ever hear.
Blinky's Scary School: bastard hard, but full of British humour.
Fort Apocalypse: fantastic shooter, with stunning graphics and a blue doppelganger helicopter that will give you nightmares.
Rally Speedway: takes the top down racer formula, tightens the controls, makes it prettier, and gives you a level editor too. Brilliant.
River Rescue: River Raid but better, and if you disagree then you're entitled to your wrong opinion.
Have fun!
I already played lode runner and HERO actually HERO is one of my favorite 2600 games so i had to check the Atari 8 bit version
