Because I am bored. Post up a screenshot of an arcade game, then post a screenshot of it's 2600 counterpart for comparison. Just post imbedded screenshots. Refrain from links, kinks and dinks.

Wow, that MP is whack.

You'd think the 2600 version of Galaxian would've been halfway decent. You'd be wrong.

but you know what though, back in those days, just playing the game at home , no matter what it looks like, was AWSOME just to have.... You have to remember to, atari 2600 had no way near the power of the CPUs and such that were on aracde PCBs..

i know pacman looked like crap for the 2600 but it was PAC MAN at home!!!!\

Asteroids of course would look different cause of the vector...

I just remeber running home as a kid and playing hrs on end of pac man and asteroids for my 2600 on a black and white with rabbit ears and 2 knobs that you had to turn and only had 9 numbers on each!!!!

This thread is for fun, not for debating. I loved the 2600. This thread just compares screen shots.
