   Feb 14, 2024 · I bought the 2600+ because I never had an Atari 2600 before. I did have the Atari FB 9 but that is a plug and play. For me, it's nice to have an actual replica that plays original carts. It's fun to collect the different games. I have a few in the collection. With more to add. Also, I'm glad Atari is re-releasing games again.

   As for collapsing the industry, no. Here's a gif from the documentary Atari: Game Over. E.T. is emblematic in any ways of why Atari collapsed (bad internal business policies) and why the publishing industry collapsed (retailers way over ordering games and then forcing publishers to buy them back), but one game cannot crash an industry.

   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.

   Did the Atari make a good game?

   • The Atari could generally duplicate the game mechanics of many games even if they looked like poor copies. Games on the Atari also did innovate. Pitfall may seem lame today but imagine it coming out in a world before platform games were common. A world where just rendering a player that looked somewhat human was a graphic breakthrough.

    Nov 22, 2023 · The 2600+ outputs a 720P signal. Although it seems this isn't quite a standard 720P signal as my TV takes a second or two to lock in and show the output. Also, my capture device in the game room usually has no issue with 480P, 720P, and 1080P sources. But it does NOT like the 720P from the 2600+ and stays in pass through mode.
