Atari 2600... old enough to remember?

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

Who owned an Atari 2600? Who's even played Atari? If you're an old man like me, what where you're favorite games?!

Defender was my all time favorite... I didn't know what the hell was going on, but flying the ship and blasting lasers was so cool as a kid.

Yar's Revenge! That little line that followed you around and killed you if you let it touch you... UGH!! I had nightmares about that thing...

The Atari is what my old babysitter used to use to keep me occupied so didn't get into trouble (true story, once I got to her place she'd tell me to go play Atari)

 

Missile Command is by far the greatest game that ever came out for Atari. I used to sit and play that game for hours on end.

 

I also enjoyed Defender, Asteroids, and good old Space Invaders (this game never gets old, hell I still play flash versions of it when I'm bored).

I never owned any Atari, but my uncle owned the 2600 and owned every game for it. Space Invaders was my favorite, second would be Pitfall, then Defender and Combat:

Those games were tough as hell.
