I played some of the 2600 classics last night. I had forgotten just how AWFUL they were. Looking back, we paid a ton of money for those carts and they weren't anything like the arcade classics. What were we thinking?

DK, PacMan, etc.
And I played PitFall and some Activision games which I remember as being the BOMB of VCS games. Granted the Activision graphics were far better than the typical atari fare, but I still don't get what captivated up for HOURS.
doesn't make sense to compare what was available in 1977 to now and be disappointed.
I also loved Cosmic Ark. Man I was an Imagic fanboy.
I'm not comparing then to now. I'm comparing my recent experience with the 2600 to my memories of playing it back then. I had the "official" Atari catalog/book where we logged our scores. Think I may actually still have that.
Speaking of Yar's Revenge. I logged many hours on that.. And I remember more than one all nighter on Pitfall.
I'd always play Atlantis until I died, then immediately plug in Cosmic Ark to continue the story...
