   The 2600 doesn't hold up, it's an early system with very basic games. The novelty to me is in how much they were able to accomplish with such limited hardware. In particular Activision pushed the system way beyond what Atari itself was producing.

   I've been in the market for an Atari 2600 for awhile and I'm curious if it's still worth picking up the console today or should I just buy the compilation collections such as Atari 50? How does the Atari 2600 hold up so many years later?

   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!

   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.

   Is the Atari 2600 a retro console?

   • There’s a new retro console out just in time for the holidays. The Atari 2600+ ( $129.99 on Amazon) is the most retro of retro consoles—so retro, in fact, that it’s actually compatible with original Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges should you have any of those lying about and still in good working condition. The future is future-proof, or something.

   Should I buy Atari 2600+ or Atari 50?

   • The Atari 2600+ is a surprisingly faithful recreation of the original 2600 hardware, but therein lies both its strengths and weaknesses. If all you want is a new box to play your old games on a modern TV, this is absolutely the solution, but if you're looking for something like a SNES Mini designed to introduce you to Atari, get Atari 50 instead.

   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.
