I think Laser Blast was probably the first game I ever rolled the score over on, clok1966. Not much of a game as it is pattern based, but good memories.
Indy 500 is kind of cool, but the driving controllers are a must (of course, there's no other way to play it). It's a shame the driving controllers (same as the paddle controllers but with 360 degree rotation) weren't better supported (or supported at all). Sadly, Sprintmaster, released in 1988, which is essentially a super enhanced version of Indy 500, only used the joystick. Post crash, Atari stopped supporting things like paddles and other peripherals (though they had limited support for the Atari XEGS light gun).
