I did.

 River Raid was the game to play! i hated the superman game, were the bridge blows up into 3 peices, you need to find the 3 peices and put it together, but i cold never find the last peice.......

I never did.

it was so long ago i actually dont remember whether it was the 2600 or the 7800... it was when i was about four........ then at 5 the NES came..............

I had a 2600

I remember games like
Riverraid
Hero
Q-Bert
Pitfall
Frogger
Joust

Here's a picture of me receiving an Atari 2600 for my 6th birthday.

I had an Atari ST which was REALLY popular in Europe in late 80s-1990.

The game you are thinking about is probably Outlaw, although Gunfight was pretty much the same if I remember correctly.

Enduro on the 2600 is one of my all time favourite racing games. Racing in the fog at night was a real test of the player's reactions. I'm going to have to disagree with people that have fond memories of Pitfall though. It was one of the most popular games on the system, but it was boring as hell.

 OMG, hero, that was a guy who had near cyclops from X-Men powers just short of range, as soon as you mentioned it i remembered it. I remember that gam being really dam hard too.

Anyone remember defender? (I think it was called that) Were you are a little space ship flying over cities with little aliens crashing into them?? 

Still have my 2600 and a whack of games...
