Atari Wars

Atari all the way ... I love the thing.

Here's a picture of my mom playing it that I took just the other day .... I fixed the paddle controls, so she went to town playing Super Breakout... not too offten you see a 68 year old gamer

Wow, check out the prices of those things. If you take inflation into account the Intellivision is way more expensive than the PS3 or Xbox 360. Hell, you can get a Wii for $250.00 30 years later.

Intellivision had better graphics and better software. It was a better system. But I LOVED ATARI!!! It was the first and it gave me something to focus on between Megos and girls.

100% Atari, all the way. I never played an Intellivision system, so I can't really say I wouldn't have preferred it possibly. I remember a few kids talking about it and how superior it was to Atari. My favorite games were (and still are)-- Yars Revenge, Demon Attack, Adventure, Kaboom!, Pitfall, Super Breakout....to name just several.

I want to get the Flashback II system, even though I still have the original games. One of these days I'd like to get a like-new S-Video modified Atari 2600, once I can afford it.

People make fun of me for still being so into Atari games but they're fun. I've tried playing the new modern video games and with a few exceptions, I just don't really enjoy them. Basically you can give me a 2600 with a bunch of games, and a nice old pinball machine, and I can have fun for ages.

Reminds me of my mom. She's 65 and plays video games. Don't get in her way if there's a poker game for any of the systems.
