Nope. That would be the Fairchild Channel F which was released a few months before the 2600. The 2600 had nine titles available at launch: Combat (the pack-in title) Air-Sea Battle Star Ship Indy 500 Street Racer Video Olympics Surround Blackjack Basic Math Tempest Were all those games original Titles or were most clones from other machines. And i love the game Surrond i might go play that rite now since ya mentioned it!

Wow! Then the Atari 2600 must of been the first machine that could takes Cartridges. BTW . What were the first 3 or so Games for Atari 2600 ?

I know... Emulation of a Pong Machine on a PC would not feel right as the real thing. Pong is just pong..

Hey! I read somewhere the Atari 2600 was released in 1977. If so y did it take so long to be popular. Was it too expensive ? Or werent the Games too good. I used to think Space Invaders was one of Atari 2600s First Games. Almost everyone in Australia had a copy of Space Invaders because it came in the box with the Atari 2600 when u brought it. Well i never got my Atari 2600 until 1984. It certainly gave me a lot of Fun that year !

Damn !

Yeah im from Australia and heres an example (edited from above) of what i recalled it looking like. Althought i never got hold of any Cartridges for this... the Background was always Blue No matter what. Bowling was definately Blue and Yellow. My Case was Black 2 not white.

I would like to know if theres any of the very old Pong Machines r emulated because i missed out on Pong in my life because my Gaming life began with a RCA Studio 2, then Atari 2600, Atari 800, C64, Amiga, etc... I heard some had about 4 built in Pong Games. the Only I have played was a small pong console and i remember it had 4 games. Like squash, tennis, cant remember the other 2 ! Any Emulation around of these old playable stuff! ?

I caught up with an Old Machine i onced own before i sold this for an Atari 2600. Unless ive gone strange it says this console was Black and White only. I believe thats untrue! I Sure it had colours because i remember Doodle as i recall making colour drawings. Can anyone comfirm if this had colour ? [/img]

Well I recommend u install both Atari800win and Atari800winPlus because i found a game that didint work on Atari800WinPlus but worked on Atari800win

I just found a site that has lots and lots of Atari 800 Games. Anyone know where i can find ST Games ??

A lot of more advanced 800 Games now work thanks to Atari800win Plus. Esciapply the hacked Games. But im still looking for some DOS boot up disk for my boot error Games

^ Oh... u said this.. Doesnt Matter I now can get Most of my Atari 800 Games to work now thanks to you suggesting the Atari800Win Plus... Thanks !!

Thanks i thought that was True. I tryed searching on Google for ATARI DOS DOWNLOAD or something. Just didnt find what i wanted. But i guess i somehow recall there was a DOS Disk u had to insert first in the drive and then the bootless Game u want to play.

I heard somewhere that Atari 2600 Coding is the hardest to learn than all other consoles and computers. Is this True ??

Some of the game i download i cant play cause look... Do u need a speical Boot Program to play these ones that do that ! I just cant remember it anymore! All i do know that those were very common on Real Atari 400/800 Machines...
