Prediction: The Atari 2600 won't age well as a console.

Everybody knows that home video games are just a passing fad anyways.

I bet you that if you do a survery across the country on what is more famous, an Atari 2600 or, say, a TRS 80, the Atari 2600 would win hands-down!!!

Honestly, I don't see where Joe is coming from either. I'm rather surprised by this prediction. I'm not going to go into it further since any point I have is already taken.

NES...now there's an NGage if there ever was one. I hate the NES.

I hate this forum too. Fuck all you guys.

Maybe classic and modern should become one forum again so that so many people won't miss the jokes, even when directed to it in previous posts. Seriously, anyone still confused just doesn't want to get it.

Enduro you robot bastard

If you consider that the prices going for the Atari 2600 and games are going up and people are still paying them, then I would consider that memorable.

Wow, I've never been a subject of satire before! Thanks for the honor, Joe

I can't play anything on the 2600. I can enjoy intellivision games though.

I played some stupid tank game on the 2600 once. It sucked. The controller sucked. Those switches sucked. The sound sucked. What the hell was Atari thinking?

I just typed this naked with a towel over my lap.

Good thread. Actually the funny part is the people who don't "get it"

weird really as I just purchased my first 'modern game': DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, and I haven't even got a XBOX yet
