Pros: It brought friends, neighbours, and family together. Cons: Technically, it was never very sophisticated.
In the late 70's and early 80's, the Atari 2600 was THE system to have. We didn't have VCR's quite yet (they may have been around, but certainly not in every home), and computers were expensive toys with limited use. Home movies were shot on 8mm film, ...
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 ...
Pros: Retro-ish, ugly, silly games, and no replay value. Cons: Retro-ish, ugly, silly games, and no replay value.
What is this thing? This thing that I see at flea markets, thrift stores, retro conventions, garage sales, frat parties, attics, trash bins, old-folks homes, ghettos, WEIRD STUFF, the internet, EBAY, and just about anywhere you can find useless old ...
Pros: Many Games. Many Arcade Licenses. Much 3rd Party Support. Cons: Levers. Junky and Stiff Joysticks. Most Games Sucked like Pac-Man & E.T. Flickery Graphics.
You have to hand it to the Atari Company for putting most of the fuel into the home video game craze ...
Pros: Some excellent translations brought great games to your T.V. Cons: Many poorly-programmed games brought the game industry to it's knees in the early 80s
If your a collector, this review doesn't matter because you do need one of these babies in your collection at one time or another because it basically jump started the mutli-game home video game console as we know it. But if your interested in...
Pros: Loads of cool and easy to play arcade classics to pick from. Cons: Very out of date and many games are just too simple or too boring.
ATARI 2600 VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM (September 1977-1984) I have written reviews of almost every gaming system out there but I never reviewed the Atari 2600 on Epinions yet because of it's huge history. Now here it is and hopefully I can help you ...
Pros: Classic games. Classic graphics. Cons: Only used ones can be found which can mean bad quality. Be careful when purchasing.
My Background with Video Games
I am now the proud owner of an Atari 2600. I never had one as a child, though I was blessed with Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Playstation, and a Nintendo64. As you can tell,...
Pros: Built like a tank. Still a ton of fun. Cons: If you're over 30, there aren't any.
When I was about 10 I got something that a lot of kids got back then. A job. Your basic paper route, which for some odd quirk of logic I had to get because I wanted money to buy a bike. Which of course, you really kinda needed to deliver papers....
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: 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: 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...
Ahh memories. This machine came out in 1977, the same year as Star Wars and my birth.
My father originally bought this, as he is a gadget nut and this was a fad among adults before games became known as "kiddie fare." But he has a short...
