40 years later this seems like nothing, but you can't imagine the excitement I felt whenever I was allowed to turn that thing on as a kid.

Lost both of my parents to COVID in April. I remember my father taking me and my brother to Sears to pick up the 2600. The sounds alone take me back to happy times, countless hours in front of the living room TV, Saturday mornings, snow days. This machine was magic. Thanks for the great post.

I remember my father getting us an Atari in the 80s. We played Combat and frogger a lot. I remember him explaining it “It’s like you’re controlling cartoon action on TV” lol. 😅

For me, #1 for Atari 2600 is and will ever be Pitfall II. It has everything, a story, an adventure, exploring, running, swimming, flying, a mission. Criminally underrated game.

pitfall saved my life as a kid.. i was in this fantastical world full of adventure and it lived up to the hype on the cartridge - unlike so many games I had bought previously.. activision.. thanks for making my childhood so entertaining

The car acceleration from Enduro stills one of more exciting sounds till now.

It's a miracle programmers were able to get so much out of such primitive hardware.

Sitting next to my 7 year old playing Zelda Botw waiting for a thunderstorm to pass and decided to show him this to compare what I started gaming on to the advancements in gaming now, totally surreal moment.

Ow and pitfall rocked!

I had this when I was a kid! Oh my god, the memories... I remember all the games and the sounds! Thank you for the upload. :)

Centipede was another good one. River raid was my favourite. Man those sounds take me back to a simpler time, either family or friends all playing games on the only TV in the house

Omg! Brings me back! I just found your video while trying to explain the games I played as a child to my kids. Their modern iPads were inconceivable when I was a kid. Thank you!

[Carlb]

Frogger, Chopper Command and Seaquest are also awesome.

[habbi]

Thanks for uploading! I played almost all of them 35 years ago when i was a kid. Now It reminds me of how simple and enjoyable games are in those times. 🤩

I was waiting to hear Adventure. That was always my favorite. Glad Raiders made it to the honorable mention list.

[nuriufukdurukan]

River Raid, Hero, Pitfall….Amazing games for a child 40 years back…Had great time, unforgettable…

[Oldbmwrrs]

What, no mention of Berzerk!? It was a great port of a fun coin op game and played very well on the 2600.

[Miakel]

Honorable mention Kaboom. Its fast paced, fun with excellent responsive controls and gets you so focused you forget about the basic graphics

[AlbertoLopez-ljte]

Thank you! River Raid was the name I had been looking for a long time. One of my favorite games of all time!

[Beachdude]

I'm shocked that Demon Attack didn't make this list. It was a terrific game on the 2600.
