Atari 2600

Alright we're going way back for this one. In fact, all the way back to the 1970's! The Atari 2600 is mistakenly considered the first home console by many, but in fact it actually isn't! (More on that in a different topic though. 😛) However many people started their gaming journeys with this wood grain console. Did you ever play an Atari 2600 before? If so which games were your favorites to play? I wasn't born until 1990, so long after the 2600 graced the stores with it's presence. I do remember seeing a bunch of plug n plays of Atari 2600 games in the early 00's, and I wanted to get one that came with this fantasy game where you go through a castle. I can't remember the name of the game, but I've always wanted to play it. Pitfall looked cool for it's time as well! There's even a homebrew Sonic game on the 2600 too!

It was Space Invaders that I played first on Atari 2600 console. The system was owned by uncle. I really wish I could get my hands on one now, I wouldn't mind buying it.

Atari 2600 consoles is a memory of the gaming history. Retro gaming stores, thrift shops and online marketplaces like eBay are where you can buy one.
