Pros: Simple, challenging games. Cons: The graphics suck, and the sound isn't much better.
Don't laugh, but I still play with this thing. I'm not ashamed of it, that's just how it is. The Atari 2600 is a very simple, fun machine, and new developments in technology has long passed the poor Atari, but this thing is still a lot of fun.

Pros: Games! Graphics! Audio! FUN! Cons: No DVD Player! ;)
Everyone over the age of 20 knows the words "Atari 2600", ever since it's incarnation, I have been playing this machine. For me the machine never really died, it's always been a huge part of my gaming collection, (actually the largest part...
Oh my I saw this classic consoles category and just had to go check and see if the Atari 2600 was listed. I kind of didn't have a doubt that it was since it started the whole video game crazy. I was a 70's child and like all 70's children my sister and I...
Before computers and nintendo and sega there was Atari. Me and my brother would spend hours playing together on it using that wonderful old fashioned joystick- you know that plain black one with the stick. No crazy multiple buttons like there is now....
Pros: It will never get old Cons: Some of the games or just too fun.
Now, I'm a young-in. And I didn't grow up playing the Atari 2600! I grew up playing the Super Nintendo! But my family still had this system lying around in the closet, and I managed to get it hooked up and working.
Pros: tons of games including classic and VERY popular titles, more developed 8-bit graphical system (mid-grade), good sound effects for most games, simple controls also compatible with sega genesis control (Note only one button will work..duh) Cons: no in-console game like Channel-F by fairchild
While Atari as a console company is no more, when I was born, there was a wonderful new system out in the world, Atari. As I grew up with the Fairchild Channel F, I also acquired this wonderful piece of technology. Loaded with tons of games, Atari was...
Pros: Expansive game library; rights to virtually all major arcade hits; fun for the whole family Cons: Zip, zilch, nada
A four-bit processor. Generally simplistic, one-dimensional games. The heights of “realism” being a hat on top of a boxy-looking stick figure representing Indiana Jones.
Comparing the Atari 2600 to today’s world of 3-D games so realistic...
Pros: Great nostalgia. Required MUCH imagination. Cons: Try getting parts and games for it now. Graphics are BAD! Sound is worse!
When you think of the games today, it's hard to believe that in only 20 years we've gone from the equivalent of stick people to fully animated screen sized people in our games. It's also hard to believe that just as kids and teenagers today spend hours...
Pros: Great for kids Cons: a bit old, but who's complaining?
Boy, does this product bring back memories. It's hard to believe that it's almost as old as I am. I remember seeing an ad for the 2600 in a National Geographic and thinking of all the hours I spent glued to the TV playing games like E.T. and Cookie...
Pros: Great system for its day. Extensive library. Cons: Not worth a modern encounter.
Everyone has fond memories of the Atari 2600. It was the main staple electronic toy for kids growing up in the early 80s. Everyone has their unique stories as well as their similar experiences with the 2600.
Pros: Lots of titles. Redefined the world. Cons: None
The Atari 2600 has forever changed the way that, we, as a society live. It made the availability and popularity of home-based video game systems widespread and EVERY kid (and adult) simply had to have one.
Unreal II: The Awakening You are John Dalton, an ex–Marine assigned to patrol the edge of human space as a Marshal for the Terran Colonial Authority. Unexpectedly, your monot...
