   Atari was massively popular. The 2600 was sold from 1977 to 1992. It has the longest lifespan of any console. It also sold over 30 million units worldwide, making it the 10th most successful console in history. It outsold the original Xbox and the N64. Pong isn't really an Atari 2600 game.

   1 day ago · Then when it arrived I was blown away, being able to slot in a 40+ year old cart and play it in glorious HD was just so good, ok there were a few niggles with compatibility but that's when I saw just how committed Atari, @Ben from Plaion and many knowledgable forum members are in supporting this new platform and any fears of the 2600+ being a one off wonder were blown away!

   Atari 2600 Pac-Man was disappointing in many ways but, still played decent enough and had some charm in it's own right. It's like one of those obscure, "Not-so-classic, classic" songs that never made the charts or film soundtracks or anything.

   Nov 15, 2023 · The Atari 2600’s importance in the history of video games can’t be understated. These days, internet historians will enthusiastically explain how the 2600 (or the Atari VCS, as it was originally called) was responsible for the video game crash of 1983 and almost brought the entire hobby to its knees until Nintendo stepped in to save the day.

   Nov 22, 2023 · The hot swap works exactly as it sounds too. The 2600+ detects when you have a game in the console. If you pull it out while powered on, it will blank out and then go to game load failed. Pop in a different game and a second or two later, it will show game loading and the game will appear on the screen.

   Should I buy an Atari 2600?

   • If you want to play good versions of all the classic arcade games, buy an Atari 8-bit (400/800/XE/XL) machine. The 2600 has inferior/crappy versions of these games. I am pretty similar to you. I can only really play anything from NES and onwards.

   Did the Atari 2600 really make video games so popular?

   • Putting aside the fact that this take is extremely America-centric – Japan didn’t have a crash and Europe was doing just fine with the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64, thanks very much – it also overshadows the fact that the Atari 2600 played a huge part in making video games popular in the first place.

   Does Atari 2600+ emulation work?

   • The 2600+ will happily play the vast majority of classic Atari 2600 games, meaning it will appeal most to those who already have old cartridges in their collection. Substituting the real thing for emulation is far from a mortal sin, but it’s frustrating that none of the usual benefits that come with emulation are included here.

   Are Atari Games really bad?

   • You're correct, Atari games ARE generally poor in comparison to what came later. The best you can do these days is to try to appreciate them in context of where video gaming was at in the late 70s and early 80s. And also understand that these first steps directly led to the video games we have today. I could not have said it any better.
