another game I didn't see mentioned was Starmaster what a great game.

anayo:
I was born in 1990. I played Gameboy and NES in 1995, so those are like the "bare minimum" a game is supposed to be for me. It makes it difficult for me to relate to the Atari 2600 experience.

However, I love Atari arcade games (Centipede, Battlezone, Missile Command, Black Widow, Tempest, etc). But I don't prefer the home versions of those. To me, that feels like playing the Super Nintendo version of Doom today.

Cartagia:
I had a small collection of about 50-75 Atari 2600 games. I only played them intermittently. I enjoyed them, but I didn't think it was worth the hassle to drag out the console and controllers just to play them.

I sold all of my 2600 stuff, and now if I want to play the games I just pick up a comp disk that has the games on there.

in any way whether it is a Harmony cartridge. Or a PC ROM, or on a compilation game for a more modern system.

I never been to Atari age forums before. But I've heard of them before

I plan on getting an Atari soon myself. May I suggest you try a couple of games called Jungle Hunt and Pitfall. Both were so much fun when I was growing up.

oldgamerz:
Atari 2020 has been delayed, and personally I never knew it existed until today when I typed in Atari 2600/VCS game into my internet browser.

I often wounder how this console will take off if it ever does get a release, I am a sucker for old games, but like I just typed in another thread. I would rather play an Atari2600 game than a tiger handheld game in which is also said to come back as well
