Atari 2600 owners only

[PVnRT]

Adventure totally rocks ass! :evilgrin:

[Az]

1. Real 2600 owners finished ET

So don't get me started on Adventure you wannabe atari fanboy. :evilgrin:

[PVnRT]

6. Shit, ET was NOTHING

That game was easy to beat, dammit! Real Atari owners played Berzerk until their eyes fell out!

[ChoralScholar]

19. E.T. Ruled!

Gotta find the pieces of the phone... while eating M&M's for energy. But stay away from the scientist and the FBI (or the gray guy and the other white guy on my old B&W TV)

Elliot was worthless, though.

2. Pong 4 ever!

[theoceansnerves]

3. do you know the easter egg

the trick to get the programmer's name to appear on screen. it's kinda complicated.

[democracyindanger]

4. You guys are so yesterday

My Colecovision kicks Atari's ass. Do YOU have Donkey Kong? I don't think so.

[PVnRT]

8. Hey, I had it

They ported it eventually, though the graphics were none too good.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Colecovision, to my unending grief, never made it to Brazil.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

5. What was with that ersatz "Big Bird" who ate you?

or was it a duck?

[PVnRT]

7. GET THAT FRICKIN' DUCK AWAY FROM ME!!!

Dammit, where's an arrow when you need one?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

9. Didn't get this game (at the rent club) enough to enjoy it.

I was heavily into Megamania, Frostbite, Demon Attack, Starmaster.

[CanuckAmok]

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. My very favorite!!! I can remember being amazed by the graphics!!

We still have ours in the storage shed!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. Raiders of the Lost Ark on Atari

I could never beat that game as a kid. i always got as far as the map room and then when the sun comes in, it killed me instead of showing where the ark was.

I played that game for years and could never get past that part.

This bit of unresolved business from my childhood still haunts me to this day.

[PVnRT]

17. It took me two years...

But I FINALLY beat it. The final part where you dig up the ark is a pain.

[7th_Sephiroth]

20. dare i bring up the

MAGNAVOX ODDESSY

[PVnRT]

21. Why does that sound familiar?

n/t

[7th_Sephiroth]

22. its the

first home videogasme system

[PVnRT]

23. Ahhhhhhhhhh that's right

A friend of mine had one gathering dust way back when I was in elementary school.

[7th_Sephiroth]

24. i have one

sitting in a shelf in my living room

[EV1Ltimm]

25. i used to base my life on dig dug

but i revolve around joust now.

[neverborn]

26. Haunted House!

!

[Philosophy]

27. I have a 5200

You better ask your momma if you wanna come over to my house and play. The ultra-realistic graphics of snakes and scorpions in Pitfall II might be too much for you 2600 babies to handle.

[CanuckAmok]

28. Don't make me laugh!!
