errr.... The golden age of video games??? I think that would be the NES/SNES days... Gaming just started during the late 70's-early 80's... How could it have reached its peak so quickly?

 

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Video_Arcade_Games

 

Arcade.

Yeah that doesnt apply to the home consoles.

 

     It applies to home consoles when you're talking about the 2600 because as I said before most of these games saw their first appearance on home consoles on the 2600 and Atari Company made many of these games.

 

No, this article clearly speaks about the golden age of Arcade games where Arcade was at its peak of popularity.

 

     Yes, however, several of these games were made or published by Atari, and several of them had their first home appearance on the 2600.

 

 

Nooo, the were PORTED to the 2600, but none of them debued there.

Enough of this. You got upset because someone said that the NES was the greatest system ever, so you made a thread saying how it couldn't be and all that you've accomplished is making yourself look like an arrogant jackass. If you don't like someone saying something you disagree with, ignore them! You can't make someone change their views over the internet, so don't even try it, much less make a thread about it. Hell, I think every frat boy should have their teeth pulled out without novicaine while being aggressivly anal-raped with barbed-wire dildos whilst their parents are tourtured infront of them, but you don't see me making a thread about it, because I know no one will care!

No one is saying that you can't have your own opinions about the 2600, but trying to force them upon others or trying convince others to share your beliefs is just foolish.

 

      I'm not forcing my opinions on you.  You're coming to my thread that says the NES isn't the greatest console ever made and trying to force your opinions down my throat.

     You know, kind of like a lot of you are saying the Wii is trying to introduce a whole new audience to videogames, well the 2600 introduced the very first audience to video games.  And a lot of people bought the 2600 to play those arcade games.  If you don't get that the Atari 2600 and the arcade games of those days were inextricably linked, then you just don't get the 2600.
