I'm thinking of picking up a 2600 soon. Have fond memories of playing one in the 90's, even though we had a Sega Mega Drive. The games were still a lot of fun.
I hear ya. We had a Spectrum 128k in the 80's, must have busted half a dozen joysticks on the likes of Daly Thompsons Decathalon. Moving to control pads was a strange but wonderful experience.
Played it so often, myself. We loved the Raiders of the Lost Ark game. And I loved that stupid Popeye game that was Donkey Kong-like.
ReplyDeletePopeye and Yars Revenge were my two faves

ReplyDeleteI miss the joy sticks. It took me a long time to get used to the new control pads with the arrows and two buttons

DeleteI lived for my 2600. Used to repair joysticks. Favorite game was def Adventure.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember that one for some reason. Warlords was another fave.
