Favorite 2600 Game
It's funny to think how far we've come. As simple as those old Atari games were and as awful as some of them were (ET, Raiders, Custer's Revenge), some were damn entertaining.
My favorite was Pitfall. Man, I loved that game when it came out. It seems so simple now, but at the time I was totally blown away.
Any other fond memories?

The video game company with the consistently superior library was Activision. HERO, Pitfall, River Raid, Megamainia - all were The Bomb of it's day. Back then it was all about artistic quality - pity they haven't maintained that attitude through to today.
Hmmm, I really should dig my old Atari out - it'll really blow some peoples minds when I plug that low tech sucker into my 52 inch HDTV and surround sound home theater.
So - as an aside: How many games did/do you guys have for the 2600?

Don't ruin a good memory by playing them today. I just played a bunch of roms and I wished I left it to memory. Great system but my sytem of that era was the intellivision. How far we have come.
