Forums - Gaming - The Atari 2600 Thread

As the first console I ever played, the Atari 2600 holds a dear spot in my heart. Pac-Man, Berzerk, Combat, Kaboom, and many more... such fun games. Yeah, they're ancient. But that just proves how timeless they are!

So, let's hear it for the 2600!

 

Me, I've got five consoles (two Sears TeleGames), fifty-two individual titles (61 total carts), and I don't know how many various controllers. Still need a few games to complete the collection (such as Galaga, Pitfall, Mario Bros, DK Junior, Centipede, and a few others), but it's still something worth mentioning!

no picture of the atari, shame on you, shame on you,

*goes back to emulator*



Screw the 2600... 7800 is where it's at baby... full B/C support and almost perfect arcade translations of all the major classics like Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Asteroids, Joust, Xevious, Mario Brothers (MARIO BROTHERS!) etc.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

7800 may have been technically superior, but it wasn't as magical, man.

obieslut: An Atari is an Atari, but fine. I guess if you're interested in if they're 4-switch or 6-switch, haha.

I'd love to see Atari 2600 games on Wii Virtual Console for $1 or $2 per game.
