Sad thing is that someone will believe the whole thing...

I found the article mildly amusing in a couple of places...

I thought it was mildly amusing, actually.

I thought that the section on current games ported to the 2600 was funny (even if it's been done many other times), but the section which veered into pseudo-historical facts on the system was not as well thought out/researched as it could have been.

[Rom Hunter]

Worthless article all around.

I chuckled,

People noticed that rapidly cycling the power on and off would generate weird effects in their games. In other words, Atari 2600 games were so bad that children would try to melt their own cartridges just to get them to do something, anything differently. Nowadays things are much more advanced: Microsoft designs its consoles to melt themselves for you.

 

Now that's funny.
