I was just playing my Activation Anthology for my PlayStation 2. And was thinking, about how many people in this world or on VG collect,  ever play Atari originals or Atari 2600 homebrews?

You don't like Kaboom!?  That game is awesome.  It's one of my favorites on the 2600. 

Crystal Castles, Stampede, and Yar's Revenge are some of my favorites. 

I don't play the 2600 anymore.  I lost my Atari stuff in the Great Divorce of 2015.  To be perfectly honest, it didn't bother me that much.

I don't play Atari 2600 too much but i do enjoy frogger and ms. pacman from time to time. :).  I was born much after the Atari craze so i didn't really experience it or grow up with it to appreciate it sentimentally. Most of my playing of Atari 2600 titles comes from collection compilations on other systems or just the bare essentials like Pac Man that everyone knows and loves :D.

But i do love the history and legacy it holds in gaming and i think it is one of the most coolest looking consoles of all time with the wood grain finished front and the metal switches.  It has plenty of amazing games that paved the way in many genres.

I was born in 1987 and to be completely honest it is hard for me to even get into 75% of the NES Library, so Atari for me is like no man's land. I played a handful of Atari 2600 games, as well as a few other games on pre-NES consoles and they usually keep my attention for all of 5-minutes and then I just feel like doing something else.

I like a lot of 2600 games. I'd probably play mine more often if I had a controller that worked more reliably.
