🤔 What is your 2ND Favorite Video Game System of all time, and why?
-
Picking a 1st is a monthly debate in my head!
I'll say the 2600 is #1, so that puts the Atari 8-bit computers as #2. Why? I grew up with that system and I constantly find myself going back to those games. It's one of the systems that I leave out and ready all the time.
Ask me next week and I might say NES or PS2. It's so hard to rank them. -

Not a kid, but my father was a competitive Pac-Man player at bars in the 80s. That was his game.
A few years later in the mid-80s he and I loved Pole Position for the 2600 and at the Time Out arcade at the mall.

Great question… it’s difficult to answer but my first video game loves are all coin-ops: Star Castle, Defender, Robotron. TBH, the 2600 games I played as a kid didn’t grab me as much as the coin-op games.

🚘 What’s your favorite thing to bring with you on a summer road trip? Atari Lynx has a small game library, but many of the games are really good! Once things return to normal this will be my 31st summer bringing the Lynx on my summer road trip. I do more driving than riding in the back seat these days, but summer wouldn’t feel complete without rainy afternoons playing California Games, RoadBlasters, Ninja Gaiden or Blue Lightning.

🤔 Why was Mrs. Roper always so hot and bothered?

I agree they were hilarious.
Mrs. R had NEEDS. Mr R probably had ED. They should have been seeing a counselor.

👼🕹️ Has anybody here ever introduced a modern toddler to Atari 2600?
-
I'm thinking about the Sesame Street Kids Controller games for a 2 year old, but even Ms. Pac-Man or Asteroids could be fun. I'd like to hear a success story!
-
Well, my kids were, but I don't think this counts as they are adults now. 90's kids.
They liked playing Atari with Dad. And they had fun. But to be completely honest, they got a lot more mileage out of the educational computer games of the time and then kids games on Gameboy. More polish and better graphics made them a lot more interested. I had a Dreamcast at the time, but they only liked the racing games (like Hydro Thunder). Gamecube for them was their golden console. Everything took off from there.

I wasn't playing 2600 games when my kids were little. They actually grew up watching me play Halo on the PC. I got both my sons Nintendo DS as their first console when all their friends had one.
By the time I got back into Atari games, my kids were teens and very turned off by the blocky graphics and limited sound. Anything they deemed old was not cool in their eyes. They even asked me why I watch old movies when they saw me watching Indiana Jones or Star Wars.
