Happy Birthday, Atari 2600

By Mike on October 4, 2007

It’s the 30th birthday of the Atari 2600. Man do I feel old now.

How much fun was playing Adventure? Or Combat? Flying the dual bi-planes and shooting down your buddy. Asteroids?

All these game systems now owe it all to Atari.

Seriously…30 years ago. Yikes.

    Frankly Mike, you may not need to ‘beg’ for comments, but you probably have a little too much free time if you are actually watching all these shows you have listed on you TiVo roll call…

    But then again, you never asked my opinion!

    Laters

    Yeah, but that’s the beauty of Tivo…skip the commercials!

    Besides, a few of those are summer shows, so they’re not all on at the same time. And Lost isn’t either yet…and….

    Yeah, it’s a big list :)

    I loved Pitfall!

    It was such a trial to get all the way to the end…man.

    Now I want to play it. I still have a 2600 laying around somewhere.
