Brings back some happy memories in good old 80s

[@corentinoger]

Remember each of these games took a few kilobytes of memory (basic cartridge was 4kB), it's basically the size of a single animated emoji. Considering the hours of fun on them, it's an insanely high fun/byte ratio.

[@kennyjones6369]

Brings back such GREAT MEMORIES, We had so much fun on Friday and Saturday nights just playing these games and it was even more fun watching my Mom trying to play them.She was such a fun sport at these and she`d laugh so hard when she was doing badly but we had so much fun, i miss those days very much

[@stesilaus1688]

Primitive though they may appear by today's standards, these games were magical when they fist appeared. And some of them are quite playable today. I was never able to "clock" Space Invaders as a kid, but I somehow managed to do it as an adult, using an Atari 2600 emulator! How often does one meet a childhood objective as an adult?

[@j.vincento7152]

You can get double fire on atari 2600 space invaders.just turn on the power switch and select button at same time.

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

@@j.vincento7152 Sí, ese truco lo descubrimos hace mucho tiempo, y hace el juego más divertido! Saludos!

[@dicey-bd4hh]

Dang, I think every video game ever, I remember being very confused with Zelda NES, but I naturally figured out how to get to the first dungeon as I got older!

[@CCQ75]

My childhood right there! Great memories! WE (My generation) have witnessed the evolution of the industry from those early days to what it is now!

[@mike199219921992]

I remember: pitfall, keykapers,frog, not sure about pacman,River raid, space invaders

[@jiraiya0698]

You do such a good job with these videos. Keep it up. Thanks

[@FKCENSORSHIP]

Thanks for bringing back so many memories!

[@eduardovieira7001]

Last but not least, yar’s revenge, the atari game that I nailed and serves as my avatar here!

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

Sí tienes razón es Yar's Revenge! Me compré, hace un tiempo atrás, uno aún sellado! Saludos cordiales!

[@RodriDAngelo]

Great job as usual pal!

[@naomesigatambemestouperdid768]

*Em 1990 trabalhei 3 meses pra comprar meu Atari usado com alguns jogos, o qual tenho guardado e funcionando até hoje...*

[@ilkererol1986]

Enduro and river raid are my favs

[@GeneSimmonsBoots]

Great list. Lots of personal favorites on here you don't often find on the best-of videos, especially with the Supercharger getting the love it deserves. I'd love to see a similar list focusing on the modern homebrews for the system. Who would've ever thought we'd see a Robotron clone on the 2600?

[@71littlerabbit]

Nothing like an ActiVision game!!!!

[@albhand]

Nostálgico, meu vídeo game favorito.

[@GAMECLOSET]

Even to this day the Atari 2600 is an amazing game system.

[@diegocrusius]

lots of great games. Shared.

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Great collection on Atari 2600 games!

[@herisongames6365]

Atari meu primeiro vídeo game, ótimas lembranças desse console

[@Inframundoss]

Fantástica Lista. Enhorabuena!!

[@alebaroli]

Tem uns aí que me impressionaram. Não imaginava que o atari conseguia fazer tantos detalhes.

[@giogames]

Realmente

[@osobowoscrealistyczna2852]

FINALLY a good compilation of good 2600 games!!!

[@larrythebatmanfan]

Yeah , ik usually people are putting it on there list or Indiana Jones on it. And both of those games suck!!!

[@starskreem8258]

Sea Quest and Jungle Hunt brings back so many childhood memories.

[@AndyCat90]

I have ordered the Atari 2600+ today and I can't wait to try it out. :)

[@Gamer14867]

I'm so glad secret quest was in this video because not many people know about it since it was released in 1989

[@maiquelquadros6606]

Muito boa essa lista dos melhores 50 jogos. Jogos memoráveis.

[@luisreyes1963]

My first ever video game system, the Atari 2600. 🕹️

[@ignacio7321]

me traen muchísimos recuerdos 😢❤️❤️❤️ jugué muchos de estos juegas hace más de 30 años

[@eduardovieira7001]

Alguns desses jogos me divertem até hoje: river raid é sempre divertido.

[@beardedj5740]

Nothing quite like the Atari. My childhood friend had one and I remember playing and wanting one so bad! I did finally get a Colecovison. Would like to see that list sometime :)

[@sandal_thong8631]

Funny, I wanted a ColecoVision but couldn't get one because, "You have an Atari." Not sure how much they paid to fix my broken Atari that read the fire button being pressed for both controllers even when they weren't plugged in.

[@jet07son]

my faves were demon attack , mega mania , kaboom, centipede astroids pacman , every friday night my friend and i would stay up to the wee hours of the morning playing these games

[@johneygd]

Some of them are really amezing.

[@monarca2846]

Boa lista, me fez lembrar alguns jogos.

[@ltrindade37]

Despite being the early days of 8-bit video games, I miss the Atari 2600 so much!

[@jkeelsnc]

I had vanguard and loved it. Great game. Demon Attack was a great game and so was Seaquest.

[@demonhunter5136]

Wow 😲 I can't believe I did play all of this games in certain point in my lifetime, this is mega cool, super old school 😎👍✨✨✨✨✨ 80s and 90s the best decades in this planet ever !!!!! 😎

[@crismor70]

Recordé mis tiempos de morrito cuando me gastaba el cambio de los mandados en las maquinitas con muchos de estos juegos.

[@AloanMoreira1]

3:02 - fairly advanced graphics on the Atari!!!

[@VadimMikhnevych]

I was really impressed with graphics at 0:22!

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

@@VadimMikhnevych Totalmente de acuerdo! Y el del minuto 6:09: Solaris! Saludos!

as fases de jungle hunt, keystone kapers e pitfall 2 são super bem elaboradas e coloridas para o velho Atari 2600 q só foi projetado pra se brincar com uma bolinha e 2 bastões!!!!

[@jgallardohz]

5:05 thanks for this, i was looking flor this Game: Pressure Cooker.

[@sandal_thong8631]

I've been watching a lot of "favorites" videos of Atari 2600. There's always someone commenting they played combat a lot with their friend/relative. I'd like to see a video pre-Space Invaders of their first 33 games. Also, let's see a "top games" list for their top-selling games, even if Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Defender and E.T. were stinkers. Maybe with some ads thrown in? Should be a lesson for kids.

[@rottmanthan]

space invaders and laser blast are a couple of my favorites.

[@Alexander-Targeryan_1978]

Enduro ❤ Frostbite ❤ Keystone Kapers ❤ Pitfall ❤ River Raid ❤ Laser Gate ❤ Pac man ❤

[@jian3419]

Good old late 90s(1996 maybe) memories...also played them early 2000s

[@abelgomez8777]

Nostalgia

[@ranchdressing1037]

This all was such a huge set back to gaming as we would have known it today, had atari never existed.

[@robertof.....7241]

TODA À MINHA INFÂNCIA RESUMIDO EM " 7 MINUTOS" Anos 80's À DÉCADA INESQUECÍVEL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@TobiAnimados]

I recognized that music at 7:07, is Vultan's Theme composed by Freddie Mercury for Flash Gordon.

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

Exactamente! Es más, este juego debió haber sido el oficial de la película Flash Gordon de 1980, ya que es mucho mejor que el que sacó la 20th Century Fox para el Atari... Saludos!

[@paisefilhosretrogames9274]

Parabéns pela seleção, muitos eu Jogo até hoje! tenho muitos jogos que considero meus favoritos, e pra mim são atemporais... vou citar 10 do meu TOP 100 do atari rsrs... - BOXING - CHOPPER COMMAND - ENDURO - FREEWAY - FROGGER - FROSTBITE - KABOOM! - MEGAMANIA - SEAQUEST - TENNIS e ai o que achou da minha lista? to pensando em montar um video com meu top 100 kkk

[@nilvioalmeida8327]

gostava muito do jogo Subterrânea também..rsrs

[@EugenioAngueira]

That is a nice group of games for the 2600. Personally, I would have selected The Official Frogger (Supercharger) over the Parker Bros. port of Frogger. It is so much better than the Parker version! Phaser Patrol is awesome and Solaris is oustanding!

[@sandal_thong8631]

It would be interesting to see them together. I think Parker Bros. was 1982 and Starpath's was 1983. Still, the first gets it done.

[@pulykamell]

That one required an accessory though, right? I mean, I've seen videos on it. And, yes, you are 100% right it is a league above the Parker Bros. cartridge version, but it requires a Starpath tape loader accessory. I've never even seen one of them in person, and I grew up in the 80s and all my friends seemed to have 2600s (I didn't.) So I could see leaving it out.

[@EugenioAngueira]

@@pulykamell It requires the Supercharger, yes. But it can be played with a Harmony cart now or through emulation.

[@Edagui97]

Such candy for my ears, salmiakki to be specific.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Moon Patrol is my favorite of the 5 cartridges I bought in 1983. Too bad you left the music off. Maybe that's a difficulty switch?

[@illegalquantity]

I like Vanguard's graphics

[@MrScottx]

Well I can't disagree with your list !!! Atari 2600 had some Great Games !

[@factewe7330]

2nd

[@alexandreandrade5365]

2nd. Odyssey and Pong are 1st.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Generation 1 didn't have cartridges, I think. It was like That '70s Show where Kelso and Red wants to make smaller paddle dots to make the game more challenging. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4XHYYNvgtaobJo "You have seen the future!" "Yeah,... home computers!" "Not computers, soldering!"
