  1. My son was born 10 days ago. What should his first Atari 2600 game be?

      I think 10 days might be a _little_ early, but when he gets a bit older, you might consider starting him on some paddle games. Something simple like Breakout. Joystick games might be too complicated, and if he's really young, there's a possibility he might start chewing on the joystick handle. (I can't tell you how many used CX-40s I've seen with kid-sized bite marks in the handles.)

      ... although, if you want to go for joystick games, look for games that offer the super-easy "Special Feature" variations for young children. Pac-Man, Asteroids, Berzerk, Missile Command, and Yars' Revenge are a few that come to mind.
