Is it just me or the joystick actually sound like the lego build sound from lego video games? That's like one of the best triggers in the world.

I agree. Not a fan of the aggressive tapping w coffin nails that seems so popular now. I like that he takes time and care w triggers

It really gives some “pauses” for your ears. It always makes me think of people who talk really fast and don’t really pause their sentences vs people who talk calm and take their time. Guess it works kinda the same.

Fun/weird fact: The way the centipede is build, it actually becomes af millipede instead. The difference between the two is the amount of legs on each body segment, a centipede has one pair of legs, whereas the millipede has two pairs on each segment.

[@thomasmacdonough288]

Man the 2600 is such an awesome console. The woodgrain, the switches, especially on the launch edition with the thicker chassis, it may aswell be the sexiest console of all time.

[@RoughTortoise840]

Yeah but them graphics though 😬 I do understand that it doesn’t look nearly as bad on a blurry CRT display, but it really hasn’t aged well in that department.

[@thomasmacdonough288]

@@RoughTortoise840 I think alot of 2600 games look fine, my favorite example being Solaris. Some of the games do look admittedly awful but that was usually because of Atari's terrible treatment of developers hence why other studios like Activision made better looking games.

I remember when I was younger I'd spend weekends with my grandparents. (This was around 2000.) They had an old Atari system and I'd always play with my grandpa. I don't know what happened to it, but this certainly brought back those memories.

The Atari 2600 was released in 1976, however the Magnavox Odyssey, the very first video game console with different cartridges, was released in September, 1972, I’m sure Lego would rather put out the classier and more popular console though, which they did.

Hello, I love lego, gameing and ASMR. Perfect video, thank you very much 😄👍. Greetings

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

the Atari 2600 was such a magical gaming system when I was a kid. We got ours in 1983 when I was 7 or 8 and the box art for the games were imaginative and exciting. The internet didn't exist back then and gaming magazines weren't yet popular, so every time I went to a friend's house they had games I had never heard of. It was always an "adventure" plugging the game into the system for the first time to see what it was. I actually have a vivid memory of the 1st time I played Adventure, and it was definitely at a friend's house. I had never heard of the game and I thought it was amazing. Still do, actually. Fun fact (although these days it is common knowledge): Adventure is the 1st known game to contain an easter egg within the game itself. Programmers for Atari weren't allowed to be recognized for their work on games, as they were employees of Atari, so to give Atari the proverbial bird, Warren Robinett wrote his name in a secret room that could only be accessed by dropping several items in a specific room, allowing you to walk through a certain spot in the wall. lol he actually mentioned this in the video just a few minutes after I posted this comment.

Atari 2600 was the first games console I played in the mid 80s when my dad got one. Still an avid gamer now and so is my son at 7 years old.

The Atari 2600 and 7800 alike were my introduction to video games in the 80s. I prefer the graphics and sound of the 7800 but liked that the 2600 still captured one's imagination.
