slate.com — The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in. This changed everything for home gaming.

Firefighter, Megamania, and Air Raid. Hell yes. P.S.-And Popeye. How can I forget Popeye?

i always wished i had a friend with NEOGEO. I heard that games were like 300 a pop. Back then, the rumors swirled.....

My Mom sold our Atari and all of our Star Wars figures to my cousins. Years earlier she did the same with our Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. But of course she didn't get rid of our baseball cards, which are almost completely worthless now a days.My cousin is now 35 and still has them figures, and still comments how well we took care of them before his ownership.

Whether in jest or not calling somebody a liar whilst hiding behind the protection of the net is dishonourable.You can say 'only Digg' but the reality is online or not you are communciating with human beings and should show respect.

My Coleco Gemini (a 2600 clone) is in the basement, any tips on how to connect it to a modern HDTV?
