Atari 2600 - The Grandaddy of Video Games

by mistrtonee , Oct 01 '00
Pros: Historical Value, Future Collector's Item, Excellent Gameplay
Cons: Very obsolete graphics and sound
Atari 2600 - This name conjures up memories and visions of late 70s and early 80s disco music and arcade halls. Just hearing that name literally takes an entire generation of Americans back to a simpler time when this machine was a technological...

The legend lives!

by naughty_monkey , Oct 21 '00
Pros: Cheap method of gaming, just a "cool" item to have around
Cons: of course: bad graphics
Many video game players (especially of this generation) tend to overlook the value of this classic machine. Maby not value in $$$ terms, but this is the foundation that the video game industry was built on. The atari 2600 systems is all around a great...

Wow this system is older than me... by one year!

by firebird1 , Sep 07 '00
Pros: LARGE GAME LIBRARY!
Cons: Inferior to the Colecovision which with its addon assimulated the Atari 2600 game library.
Though I never actually had this game system I did have the Addon module to the Colecovision which allowed me to play all the Atari 2600 games.

The Atari had some advantages... a vast library of games. The sound on some games was really good...

Before the classic NES was history!

by mihoshi , Nov 23 '04
Pros: Atari did not censor games
Cons: Very dated and boring compared to anything else
The Atari 2600 revolutionize the gaming world, or rather, created the real gaming world. Even though the graphics were beyond awful compared to today's Halo 2, people still actively seek out this system. The 2600 was created in the time before ...

Atari forever!

by phatso , Mar 17 '01
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.

Folks, let me tell you....

Still the best Joystick

by aindovin , Sep 22 '00
Pros: best joysticks
Cons: ton of bad games
If the Atari 2600 was unsuccessful at being the most popular system of the 1970's, it would still get acknowledge for its excellent joysticks. They, by far, had the best most comfortable controller.
Though not that long lasting, I have yet to find a...
