jopurich's Full Review: Atari 2600
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.

We played countless fun games together- Pacman, Miss Pacman, Donkey Kong, Race Car games, espionage (hey anyone remember Castle Wolfenstein where you have to go into the castle, steal the Nazi war plans while an SS could find you at any moment and blow you away!).

And you had two choices to play- either cartridge or floppy disks (remember those 5 1/4s!) Floppy was great cause you could trade and copy games with your friends! Now the gaming industry has made it a bit too hard to that!
