I'ma video game nerd I just always think today everyone cares only about specs when I was a kid we had atari and had so much fun on it lo today it's beyond crazy how powerful these consoles are. I find it funny when folks get the series x and they only have a 1080 p tv lol
Funny thing, I recently picked up two Atari 2600's from a local game store. I also got all the games and controllers they had. I also bought a Colecovision from them too.

LOL, making me feel old from another century. Those Atari's with the joystick controllers changed the world. Maybe weren't the 1st but they were the 1st to sell in the millions. Pong, tanks, airplanes led to Asteroids, Pacman and Mario bros.

Interesting...lol...When Atari was dying after the ET game flop they dumped not only the ET games here in our landfill in Alamogordo back in 1983, but also other games, controllers, etc along with it...truckloads of it...Thousands of units...lol.

Atari denied they ever did that and anyone connected with it through the years denied it as well....Until they were all proven liars when the dumped mega stash was found in our landfill.

Hows that for some Atari nostalgia history???...lol...lol.
