The greatest thing about this video is seeing the sheer amount of homebrew programmers that make the best out of that 1977 hardware (I was born in late 1983, so go figure). Goes to show the 2600 and its contemporaries still retain their old magic. And I hope it's for many years from now.

I'm from 1988 and have an Atari obsession. I got into it just a year or 2 ago after realizing how fun it was. Had a 2600 "VCS Light Six" in the closet my whole life, only nostalgic to the small library my uncle had. Now I discovered all the other games especially after 1982. They got really good. I wasnt aware how long its lifespan was. Still finding more.

1:26:46 The most beautiful memories of my childhood

The 1st console I've ever played with as a 5 year old, in a black and white TV, in a far far away Sunday morning somewhere around 1985-86, after having skipped the mass at the local church! lol

Its amazing to see the amount of creativity of its engineers back then. The so called modern Games that we see today are directly or indirectly ported from that time. Heck even the names are same for some of the best games right now.

Naman Gupta StarFox for example. A lousy Atari game, and a legendary Super Nintendo game.

excellent - especially love the game names on every one!

13:10 - Bee Ball, that's really cute :D At Duck Attack (39:31) I started suspecting that these are not just the original games but has some newer releases as well. A friend of mine had this Atari 2600 clone with almost all the games built in and you cycled through them with a lever. There were no title screens so I didn't know any of the games, I could only find them today by trying to describe how it played. That's how I found MASH. But for other obscure games I need to watch this whole thing. I remember liking Mr Postman for it's weird visuals and sounds (1:26:55) 2:24:01 - THAT'S IT! This was the game I was looking for! Thnk you for making this video!

Thanks, i was able to find all my kids days favs :)

Man I was like five years old when I played these. I'm talking about memories which are almost twenty five years old.

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of the game "Lock 'n' Chase" forever.

Dude u never know when u in the mood for some back of house.

It reminds me my childhood days..

I remember seeing my 1st one in a shop in Tottenham court rd London. Must have been 1979/80 . I thought it was amazing. The last official release was KLAX in 1990. Some of the games are baffling , some of the shoot em ups still look good

AVGN Boxing? I didn't know that existed until now. I'm a fan of AVGN. Some of these games are obviously homebrews. I first played atari 2600 in 1990 at age 7 or 8. I just recently bought the atari flashback 9 and I love many of the games. It's amazing how many of these games are still fun after 35-40+ years. I love games like jungle hunt, pitfall, river raid, berserk, mario bros, popeye, space invaders, missile command, centipede, enduro and others. I don't always like every atari game, but If I dislike one it's because of the game play and not the graphics. Some people are graphic snobs who prefer only new games. But I can overlook the early graphics if the game play is good.

2:14:45- There it is. I remember this game directly. I wanted to upgrade this game so bad back then.

Thanks for evoking sweet childhood memories. I never played the Atari bec. I found the joystick difficult to control. My eldest brother (who owns the console) and other elder siblings were always the one who played for me. I esp. remember these games: Frogger; Asteroids (?); PacMan; and Midnight Rider (?). Btw, does anyone here know the title of an Atari game in which the game cartridge's design contains a labyrinth and a dragon. A key is what you must find in the game if my memory still serves me well. Anyway, thanks in advance.
