KAZ Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Assuming that the Atari 2600 is your favorite console even when you compare it to the most modern systems of today, what are your top 5 reasons for thinking it is the best? I'll withhold my answers, so that none are the same as yours. An example might be something like: "Best designed cartridges of any video game system".

Marco(2) Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 1. It is the first hit system - no other will ever take away that crown 2. It is the most collectible - 5000+ variations, anyone? 3. It has the coolest history - "NES? No thanks!" 4. It has the nicest community - I love you guys 5. It still has the coolest new games coming out - Q-Mental-Thrust-B! Eat that Nintendo!

jahfish Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 1) A 2) T 3) A 4) R 5) I a= ancient. nostalgia is just cool. everybody like to look back to their teenager days. t= technology. marco stated it, there won't be another console influencing people that much again ... a= art. of course as an artist & graphic designer, i love the several gadjets & merchandising products, poster, comics ..... this was the time when creativity still had a massive influence on the products, before everything was given into the advertisers hands. r= research. there's just so many related products to discover after you though you had seen everything. and i love the idea that me and marco will be 80, scratch our beards and white hair, and still wonder that we find items we never knew about i= international. it's great fun to trade with so many people from all around the world. plus on the board, we learn about so many things in all these different countries .... hey, that's perfect "edutainment" ...

AtariDude Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 1) The very first game system I ever owned 2) All my friends had it so we were able to share new games as they came out. 3) A very large selection of games with different types of genres. 4) Gameplay was simple and didn't require in most cases a lot of reading so I got the initial rush of playing a new game for the first time. 5) The wood grain model added a lot of class in my opinion as opposed to just using cheap plastic.
