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.

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
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.
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!
Enduro you robot bastard
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.

Well everytime i think of videogames, Atari or Pong comes to mind first,then Nintendo,Sega Or Playstation,its just everyone remembers Atari being THE console that made videogames popular and brought an end to arcades.
"...leave love bleeding, in my hands, in my hands again..."
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
as well it should be the least fondly remembered console of its generation, if not the least fondly remembered console of all time... we're talking about the console that caused the great crash, people! so why would anyone have fond memories of the console that killed the industry? if it wasn't for the NES, this site wouldn't even exist to bemoan the awful 2600!

Funny thread.
2600 Rocks!
Intellivision crap controllers doesn't hold a candle to the 2600 joystick.
I too wish there were more driving controller games & paddle games too for that matter. Even games like Gyruss could have adpoted that type of control a shame theres not more to enjoy these awesome controllers with. There have been a few hacked conversions made over the years, but a true pitty these weren't more properly executed back in the day.
What's going to be interesting is what we're going to see ten, fifteen or twenty years down the line. With the 2600 we're seeing rereleases like the Flashbacks, the multi-game-in-one controllers and even key chains that can be hooked up to TVs to play Pong or Warlords. If trends stay they way they do, will we see something like that for the Xbox?
I shudder to think of how big my pockets would have to be to carry an XBox keychain...
