- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+35They actually did make Portal for the Atari 2600!

- condonm, on 09/16/2008, -0/+19I'd love to see some one port Portals to the 2600.
- TroutMouth, on 09/16/2008, -1/+18Bioshock for the Win!!!
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+16I want to see more of these for other games...Fantastic!
- Peachi, on 09/16/2008, -1/+17smash brothers looks like a hoot!
- jaybol, on 09/16/2008, -0/+15dugg for being the first time ive seen "double dragon with guns and muppets" as a phrase. and people say there is nothing new under the sun.
- badwithcomputer, on 09/16/2008, -0/+15I would have learned the rules for darts a lot earlier too.
- Marcatto, on 09/16/2008, -0/+12The system...is down
- Stan44, on 09/16/2008, -0/+12haha this article is amazing..love the art!
- drone02, on 09/16/2008, -0/+11The renditions are flawless.... Props to the artist. My favorite is No More Heros.... I'd love to see more of these :)
- SanTe, on 09/17/2008, -0/+10Yes. It runs at 0 fps, just like the original!
- thePTS, on 09/16/2008, -1/+10The real question is, did they make Crysis?
- verbaldouching, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8I miss my Atari :(
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -1/+9I would be a lot more efficient at killing hookers to get my money back if I'd had GTA4 in my childhood.
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8Atari was good and what made some games the way they are today.
- chiliwilli, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8 i dream of a world without 404s and overloaded servers
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8I would like to play Rez for the 2600, but only if it comes with the vibrating controller for obvious reasons. :)
- Butt3rs, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8Barley 200 Diggs and down?
- toddhenkel, on 09/16/2008, -0/+7Too many sprites for the day... and yes, I did back then... now get off my lawn!
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+7When playing Adventure I used to think of myself as a Conan-type character. Too bad I was a ***** square on the screen.
- thePTS, on 09/16/2008, -0/+7aww ;( Did anyone manage to jot down an ascii interpretation of the art before the site boinked?
- liquisoft, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6For some reason the level of imagination required to play some of these older blocky games made them so much more interesting to me.
- MadEnvoy, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6demake is the new sweded.
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+5Atari Flashback 2 is ***** awesome. Just crack open a can of RC, rock some Pitfall, and you've got a good time.
- leerayIG88, on 09/16/2008, -0/+5ever heard of the lava people?
- Ioncannon, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5The Atari 2600 could only display two sprites and two missles at a time (unless you drew another sprite every other frame, which caused flickering). Thus most of these game wouldn't look like that.
- pentomino, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5I'm glad that the screenshots were presented as how they'd look on the box, and not as actual screenshots, because there's no way Atari 2600 games actually look that good. And I hate to bust people for unrealistic 2600 screenshots, because that's like going to the renaissance faire and asking why people aren't covered in boils.
I wish I'd never learned how 2600 games really worked. - djruden, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5You are probably talking about 'Castle' which used ascii characters for its "graphics".
- fishpicker, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5Does no one remember those old game boxes? they almost never had pictures of the actual graphics. the boxes always featured cover art that didn't even resemble anything in the game.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5Don't forget the hops!
- JeremyO, on 09/16/2008, -0/+5this is THE good stuff
- MommaLu, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4I was an Intellivision gril myself.
- Yeknom, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4COD4 as a sidescrolling shoot-em up? Hell yes.
- liquisoft, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4Indeed. I remember an old game for my PC (can't remember the title of it, though) where the visuals were about equal to that of Atari, except it was a top-down fantasy adventure RPG similar to Zelda in many ways. I had a ***** ton of fun with that ugly game.
- antdude, on 09/17/2008, -2/+5Are you Martin Luther King of the Internet?
- diecastbeatdown, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3an entire day?
- AcousticBoom, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3Someone's had one too many
- raydeen, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3Best Atari game I ever had was Tunnel Runner.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=9gY46PF5hdo - inactive, on 09/16/2008, -0/+3I was gonna post a link, but somebody already did below.
- r3m1x645, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2dug for Resident Evil 5 candy cane men
- Elranzer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2True, those colors and sprites on the A2600 would be impossible. Though, they probably would be possible on the Atari 7800, but nobody bought that.
- Modulo, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2dugg for being the first time ive seen "there is nothing new under the sun."
- Modulo, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2demake is so fetch.
- passedoutghost, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Careful, don't let Jack Thompson hear...
- dle5, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I'd rather play these games than the real thing. Most 3D games are garbage these days.
- dagr8tim, on 09/16/2008, -0/+2I still have a working 2600 with a stack of games.
It's great to bust that out sometimes. Ofcourse I still rock the NES once in awhile too. -
