    I'm always so impressed by the graphics in late-era 2600 games. Like the pseduo-3D in Battlezone or the 'parallax' scrolling in Jungle Hunt. You really wouldn't think a **1mhz** system could pull off things like that.

      And only 128 BYTES of RAM. The RAM was a bigger limitation than the clock speed I think. Programmers had to get really creative to work around the limitations.

    This took me back to my barracks in West Germany when I was stationed there. I bought my Atari 2600 to play on my new Sony Trinitron 15" tv. All night video game binges with Pole Position, Galaxian, Gunfighter & Jungle Hunt. Kept us out of trouble. Thanks for the flashback @JohnRiggs. Good times

    Atari was a little before my time but I do own one. I think all gamers should definitely pay homage to the console. My earliest memories as a kid with the Atari 2600 were Smurfs and Mash. Currently I love playing Donkey Kong on my 2600 there's just something about Donkey Kong and using that Atari joystick... 📺🕹

    Krull was one of my favorites, actually. If you remember from the movie, the villain’s castle moved every day. So you go to the spider lady so she can tell you where the castle is. When you get to the door at the top one of the webs at the side of the screen will get an indicator to let you know it is the exit. You have to get the guy back to that web strand before the time runs out. If you do it right you will be taken to the final battle, where you can save the Princess. Victory is yours. Also I wouldn’t recommend the movie, it hasn’t aged well. Nostalgia value only. Glaive rocks though!

    I have a feeling that 1983 could have been averted in a few ways, such as more video game rentals, more game publications to review games, and Atari embracing 3rd party developers more instead of trying to block them. Plus I think consumers were ready for a new generation and Atari didn’t exactly do a great job of giving them that.

      Yeah, the Atari 5200 was terrible, especially the controller. And when they came out with the Atari 7800, they removed the sound chip so the sound was back to 2600 quality. Atari just didn't push things forward enough to pull the audience back in. It took Nintendo and Sega to do that a couple of years later.

    Pole Position and Mario Bros are my favorites besides Vine swinging game. NES 1985 is superb in every way in comparison to Atari 2600. If you like the simplicity and vague characters and unique art for environments as well as the characters in Atari 2600 then go for it. Some games I like for the Atari 2600 10 at most or maybe more. I was born in the early 90's so SNES and N64 PS1 GB series and I like NES and Sega Master System Sega Genesis Sega Game Gear Sega DreamCast and 80's arcade games and 70's arcade games are great too. Atari Jaguar Lynks are great.

    The 2600 was my passion! Adventure was my jam! My parents played Colossal Caves. They called it Adventure. I couldn't get too far at it when I was ten. So Adventure to me was that, but with graphics.
    Electronics were a new thing as I was growing up. That was great for me. I wasn't a big action figure kid. Erector sets, Radio Shack electrical/electronic kits, batteries, and blank tapes kept me quiet for hours.
    Today, I still play video games. I play a lot of retro. I love Mario Golf. But Beat Saber and Rocket League take up most of my gaming time.

    In Krull you also need to press down when riding the horse over the weapon icons to grab them it is a bit of a timing game but you need those for the final level. Some hidden gems for the Atari is Mash, great game where you save soldiers with a helicoptor then a game like operation where you remove items in the human body. And the game Fantastic Voyage is a great game where you shrink into the blood vessels and shoot bad blood cells a lot of fun, great at that time.

    Maybe this is just my nostalgia but I didn't remember the hardware struggling so much with Joust and Kangaroo. So many disappearing sprites!

    Gravitar kind of reminds me of that one very old PC game called Gravity Well. Loved GW as a kid, but sadly, it has not aged well at all over the years.

    I played almost all of them! in Battlezone the worst of all were the supertank (the yellow ones) fast and furious they were! In krull I felt I was the hero of the story, but i wanted the game to end when you rescued the princess and not start all over again. Pigs in space had a poster, very cool! Miss Piggy used a karate shop to destroy the meatballs, I played it a lot of times because I thought there was an end to the story... but no. And for Jungle Hunt, there was a record sheet at the end of the manual for the highest scores, I completely filled it up, one score higher than the next. Good times!
