HatefulGravey Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Most people around my area just call it "that old game thing with Pong on it I had when I was a young'in". I like telling them it is the VCS because they will argue that its the 2600 all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was always referring to it as the Atari VCS in its heyday (around 1984). Somehow, later it became the 2600, and like Thomas Jentzsch, I also called it "two thousand six hundred" since "twentysix hundred" doesn't make sense in German, though that scheme works for numbers under 2000, so for giving a year we do say "nineteen eighty two", for instance. Another way to spell it here would be to leave out the "thousand", making it the "Atari two six hundred". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THATUSERNAMEISALREADYTAKEN Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's always Twenty Six Hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) The same person probably also refers to the year as Two Thousand Twelve. It's Twenty Twelve! Edited April 11, 2012 by rolenta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This reminds me of a 'discussion' I had about the proper way to say A.T.-A.T. or At-At. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Garvin Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) You sound like a redneck (Random Terrain) with peanut butter stuck to the roof of their mouth. Those ads were bizarre, the Atari rap is notably weird. I forgot how the 80's were. Edited April 12, 2012 by Fred Garvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark68 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just call it an Atari and everyone knows what you are talking about. Only 1 in probably about 1000 people today even know that Atari made a 5200 or 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
