It still would have been hard to top the likes of Pac-Man, Space Invaders (including Galaxian/Galaga, and Xevious as you mentioned, moving away from the space theme), Donkey Kong, Dig Dug/Mr. Do and the other golden age era games.
That said, one of my all-time top Atari 2600 games was Battlezone, released in none other than 1983 - how they managed to program a 3D third-person shooter on the 2600 is a miracle in itself!
