Yeah, it's a corny idea. I know that! But it's early in the morning, I still haven't gone to bed, and I just read last year (2006) as the name of many a man's favorite console...
So it got me thinking: Will the 2600 still be around in its namesake year? In what form?
Unless fun becomes obsolete or phased out between now and then, I don't see much of a reason why Atari's money-maker wouldn't live on another 600 years--but perhaps some of you disagree. Regardless, I like to think there will be at least one confused soul--perhaps a descendant of the Roundtable--still holding his thumb over a single, red button and playing the classics in a future we can only imagine.
Imagine how much fun that guy's gonna be having.
