How many of you have actually owned an Atari 2600? I have when I was a younger kid and I've played many games on it like Asteroids, Megamania, Space Invaders, Fast Food, Berserk, and many other games. I got mine through I think my grandparents maybe a year or 2 before I ended up getting the NES.

I also ended with some games that might have been considered the worst games for the time like E.T. or Pacman but it wasn't the worst games of all time in my opinion. I've played them and E.T. while it isn't a great game by any means, isn't the worse. The worse one I've ever played or tried would be the NES's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. It fustrated me to no end.

Back to the Atari 2600, what games were you good at exactly and did you have any favorites?

My children had an Atari 2600. I remember watching them play.
I specially liked the Fast Food and Space Invaders to play myself.
I still search these out when going to a fun arcade.
THanks for bringing back the old memories!

No problem. I figured it would be a good discussion topic. We can say Atari has a legacy that probably won't be touched.
