System 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	When I was a kid, I had an Atari 2600. We had many games for it that were a lot of fun. A few years ago, my wife bought me a 2600 for Christmas and I've amassed a big collection since. Are there other Atari lovers here?

But in retrospect, when I go back & play some of their games I owned (mostly via emulation since it's a pain in the buptkis to dig out the system & games)... I find them quite uninteresting. Not just in graphics & sound, but overall gameplay was just too straight forward, simple, and dull. Yet... back in the day (early to mid 80's), it was 'da bomb. I guess it was more the fond memories of how fun it was to play 'em with alone & with friends. Games were simple to understand, impossible to master (now I just think too simple, too boring). So I AM a fan, but my attention wouldn't hold now-a-days to any of those retro games.

Soltydog 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 340	My first console was an Atari. Played that so much I think I actually fried it, so it had to be thrown out. Years later, when I got back into retro gaming, I picked up a fully functional Atari 2600 with all the controllers and 30 games for $15.00 However, two years ago when Ivan hit, my house was flooded and my console was lost again. I could have lost the Sega, Colecovision, and all the Nintendos and would have been ok with that. Losing the Atari again really hurt.

System 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	I've seen an atari at a thrift store, but the people there said it was broken, and I played atari flashback, but the games were very bland and didn't hold my attention. But atari must have the stuff back then since it started so many classics.

System 8 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	The 2600 was awesome. I can remember walking home from school with a friend and debating whether his older brother would let us into his room so we could play Mario Bros., Phoenix, Pac-Man and Combat.

Made it all the way to the Grey level, don't think I ever got past it. I was pleased as punch to see it was included in the recent Atari collection for PS2! - Sean
