ne1 just told me about this, its hilarious.

 

go to media, and watch the video for glow

 

 

 

 

now if only I could figure out what games are in his closet and what game is in the 2600

[Csonicgo]

 

That was great. Well, I learned something today- don't piss off an Atari 2600. you will pay. ok, I'm gonna put my joysticks in a steel safe now.

I love how the PS2 is like the king of the playground until the Atari comes slinking out of the closet. Brilliant!

 

I am not a big fan of their music, but these guys seem cool. (I am also in awe of any bass player with more strings than me.)

Very Maximum overdrive!

 

though I love the atari.. I must say.. the lamps.. they are my favorite

as for the Atari.. its pretty obvious its a vader unit.. as for the cart in the system.... Yars revenge? can someone get a screen grab?

[jetset]

It looked like Missile Command to me???

[ussexplorer]

Notice how the other electronics get out of the way for respect. That is what I call it. Respect.

 

 

LOL

That was sweet, anyone have a link to download that movie instead of watching it online everytime?

[liveinabin]

HAHA! brilliant! I love it. This may be the first most kids see of a 2600.

Sure. Just use ASFRECORDER.EXE. It'll capture the stream for you and save it on your harddrive.

The once and future kings return with a revenge.

 

I hope it was Yar's Revenge. Makes more sense to since the Atari 2600 is getting revenge on the newer systems.

that's sweeeeet!

Personally I don't like this band, but it is cool that they used the atari vcs for there video. As for having more strings on a bass, it's not needed. He is using a six string so there is only 8 more notes (4 lower, and 4 higher) than a normal bass. Considering that the 4 higher notes are played way up on the fretboard they are kind of useless.

 

Do like Mark Sandman of Morphine did and take strings away. He used a 2 string bass with a slide and had unbelievable basslines. I'm going to stop talking about music now and be happy that the atari beat the horrible ps2 (I have been telling people this for years)

Wow, next time someone asks you why you bother reminiscing about the 2600 pass them a link to this.

 

There is no doubt now that the 2600 is a permanent pop culture icon.

 

I really don't think we're going to see a sliding scale of pop cultural references like these for newer units as generations age (i.e. a PS2 destroy a PS10 20 years from now). I think the VCS has a unique place in pop culture.

[raindog]

Yeah, that's definitely Missile Command.

 

 

(flipped and gamma corrected in the gimp....)

[Lost Monkey]

Yeah, that's definitely Missile Command.

On closer inspection I think it might be "Whistle Command"...

[Brad2600]

I thought it rocked!

 

 

Notice how the 2600 is a Vader model?

[Godzilla]

dont give in to playa hatin!

[NE146]

This should be the official music video of Atari Age.

That was the best music video I've ever seen!!! No doubt!!!

[Deteacher]

That was awesome! A tribute to the longevity of Atari. Consoles come and go, but Atari is forever. Brings a tear of pride to my eye!

[+remowilliams]

LOL - though this thread is ancient I never saw that video. Revenge of the 2600 in the closet!

[Rom Hunter]

Brilliant.
