Atari 2600 vs ColecoVision vs Intellivision....  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 71/100. maliki2 (252) 4 years ago

For those of us old enough to remember these gaming systems which one did you own? And which one did you like the best?

I owned a Atari 2600, we had to Pre-Order Pacman for it through Sears where we purchased the 2600.

I owned a ColecoVision, better sound and graphics and the optional Atari 2600 game adapter was a plus! I just wish it had the support that the 2600 had.

I never owned a Intellivision but I had a friend who did. The controllers were terrible, and the games were ok. I liked a few of them, but the graphics were downright terrible.

We have a ColecoVision as well, maliki2.

At the time, it was a pretty neat gaming system, even though I thought that the controllers were cumbersome at best.

We never had any of the other systems. I'm hoping to upgrade one day soon. I hear that the present video systems have improved somewhat, especially in regard to the controllers.

I agree the keypads were kind of annoying. But they worked really well in games like WarGames. That was a fun "strategy" game that took advantage of the multiple keys. The hardest were the racing games, nearly impossible!
