Which console do 2600 gamers use to play physical 2600 games?

I use both. Mostly the 7800, unless I want to play a game that doesn't run on or fit in the 7800. The nice thing about the 7800 is that it lends itself to a quick game of two-player cooperative Centipede after a barrage of 2600 games.

Everything I own fits the 7800, so I exclusively use that. I don't even own a 2600 anymore, and see no reason to do so.

 

I agree about Centipede, though. Really fun 2-player action.

Sorry to hear about your cousin.

 

Thanks man!  Appreciate it.  He was my third cousin to die...I've lost a lot of family members over here.  But ...Well,  this is what happens when we get older (sigh).

I use the 7800, mostly because mine has the composite mod and my 2600 is stock. The 2600 just sits in the closet.

Or even the Atari 5200 VCS adapter, although I doubt many people are using that.

I DO!!!  Now that I no longer own either a 2600 Jr. or a 7800, I just simply use my Harmony Encore on my 5200 through my VCS adapter.

I’d like a 2600 Jr as backup, & a 7800, but I don’t have room right now.

Both, though there are a lot of options I don’t use! I feel that I should set up my 5200 again and see if it works. I don’t think I have the adapter, though.
