(Activision Anthology)
One of the best 2600 games on basis of having a quirky premise

The cheeseburger from Plaque Attack is one of the most compelling antagonists in any game I have ever played. Why is it he wants to destroy the teeth so badly? What history do him and the toothpaste have with each other that has started their rivalry? It really got me thinking deeper about how characters are written.

Just brush your teeth and floss, please. I got a Waterpik a while ago and that changed my life too.

Oh yeah. And Plaque Attack is an OK game.
