Sorry to say, but it reverted.

I'm glad I was here to offer my expert analysis.

I have always liked the Coleco Gemini.  I had this system growing up before I had a 2600.  I still think this has one of the best controllers for the 2600.  It doesn't seem quite as stiff and with the paddle included, it makes for a good controller.

7800 has been my "daily driver" for years (2600 side used for practicality), but the Heavy Sixer is my all time favorite VCS.  

These are pretty much my thoughts as well.

 

I'm kinda torn though; if someone were to ask me for my top 5 favorite consoles in general, I'd include the 7800 for both its library and the 2600 compatibility. But if they were to ask me what my favorite 2600 (as in, *strictly* a 2600) is, I gotta go Heavy Sixer - which is what I voted for here.

The bug that kept revealing the poll results has been fixed.  The results should stay hidden now until we close the poll.  If you haven't voted yet, please do, as that is what was causing the results to become visible again.  I'll close the poll in a few days, which will then make the results visible.

 

Thanks!
