[When and where did you get your first 7800?]

[Documentaries]

Currently watching "Atari:Game Over" on Netflix once again Video games the movie is also on here, first half of the movie is really cool for Atari fans.

 

You know of any other good ones, possibly on YouTube?

It makes me wonder if most casual gamers didn't realize you needed the comic or know of the contest?

[Atari 2600 JR vs Original VCS]

the difficulty switches are much easer to use than the 4-switch.

I would definitely agree with that

[Top 10 Worst Atari 2600 Games? (Not counting E.T. or Pac-Man)]

I'm curious what some of those games are for the 2600 that you love that others don't.

The first that comes to mind is Swordquest Earthworld. I know even if you have the comic there's "not much point" in playing the game today. But even without the comic, to me it's just an intense experience with bright colors and mystery.

 

AVGN nailed it when he said "That's what I love about Atari, something as simple as going thru a door is an event."

[Top 10 Worst Atari 2600 Games? (Not counting E.T. or Pac-Man)]

Not sure if this has been mentioned - BASIC PROGRAMMING.

 

junk.

BUT you get to use the Keypad controllers!

[2600 focused YouTube channels?]

I love the No Swear Gamer, he's probably at the top of my list, and he's consistent.

 

MJR and John Hancock have some great Atari playlists.

 

CGR is, classic, wish he did more Atari.

 

Some other channels I found were Arcade USA which (I think) hosted the 2600 game by game podcast (please correct me if I'm wrong if it's your channel or your podcast) he goes by Ferg on twitter.

 

Brian Thomas Barnhart also has a series called "7800 ave."

[Reproduction Prototype Cartridge On Ebay looks to real now]

Will have to explore these forums more when i have some time

This is why I love Atari Age. Knowledge as deep as the ocean from some of it's users!

[7800 units sold?]

Perfect, thank you
