Sorry. I grew up on those consoles and own both. Atari 2600 is fun as shit but holy fuck, as you telling me Atari 2600 Astroids or Pitfall holds up better than SMB 3, Ninja Gaiden or Megaman 2?

That's insane.

neither aged well. the atari games probably have the simplicity going for them

 

the nes games look better. but the hardware didn't allow for great snappy controls which was later fixed in next gen.

What? I play my NES games on real hardware hooked up to a CRT and the controls are MORE snappy than modern games. There's almost no lag at all and they play like butter.
