Atari

When I was a kid in the 80s that was the bomb. Have you ever enjoyed it? What games do you like? Does anyone have new Atari system being sold?

It wasn’t that big over here in the UK. We had a homegrown computer market (Sinclair, BBC, Dragon) and Commodore was the big import from the US, not Atari.

These days, Atari is a zombie IP entity that just sells its old stuff, such a shame because Atari of old was quite a force to be reckoned with.

That's interesting. Anyway, my favorite games from Atari were Pole Position and Pitfall Harry.

I've never actually played any Atari 2600 games. I was born in 1990, during the 90's Atari were failing and eventually they got out of the hardware business after the failure of the Jaguar.

Same here. I grew up playing Super Nintendo when I was a child.

I remember playing the original Nintendo for the first time. It seemed so advanced. 😃
