I have taken quite a break (at least 10 years) from playing anything of that era. I think that perhaps what I will end up doing is going back and (attempt to at least) play things in chronological order, starting with the oldest and working up. You can't really just go into play a 2600 game the same day you played something more modern. |

2600 was before my time but actually we did get one as kids. I think someone gave it to my parents through their work one day, and it came with most of the common games. We were amused with it for a short while but even then it couldnt hold a candle to the SNES or Genesis. It was the first console to spark that "retro" game interest in me. Haven't played in years. I've thought about just picking up the compilations on PS4. I don't think I even have one of those converter boxes and no televisions that support those terminal things anymore. But yeah Kaboom, Space Invaders, Breakout, Pitfall, even games like Combat, and Basketball were a good time if you have someone to play with. |

I love atari. Everytime i hook it up I end up messing around with it for a couple hours easy. Nowadays i mostly pick up homebrews because the games I'm still missing are all very rare and expensive. Don't find many Atari collector's around here but i've found a few. Going to the midwest gaming classic this weekend maybe i'll find something for Atari. ;) |

Many nights I will run through about a dozen cartridges before going to sleep at night. I try to cycle through different parts of the collection but I have a few regular go to games. A few favorites: Asteroids Berzerk California Games Circus Atari Defender Dig Dug Donkey Kong Frogger Kaboom Missile Command Pac-Man Pitfall! Joust (Flying Eggs FTW) Jungle Hunt Space Invaders Phoenix River Raid Spy Hunter Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Warlords Yar's Revenge I also carry an Atari Flashback Portable in my jacket pocket most days. Many games can be played in a couple minutes per session making it a perfect device for killing time when standing in line or waiting on something, the phone can stay in the pocket. |
