Atari 2600 - 10 Classic Games

[@ComputerLearning0]

My brother and I had a an Atari 2600 but I only remember playing football on it. I played all the games shown here but in the arcade in the early 80's. In those days my brother worked at a locally owned arcade and after they closed we'd stay all night long and play all our favorite console games. Those were the days... we really thought we were somethin' being able to open all the games and play for FREE. Life would later get more complicated but back then it was simple and life seemed like it would last forever.

These 8 bit songs and sound effects bring back memories the same as actual old songs on the radio...God bless the 80s!!

[@damionf.1885]

Same bro i remember paying this as a kid

[@LTDANMAN44]

it's 2 am in 1982. hot summer night. I am sitting in my room with the glow of the TV playing video games with the window open. I can hear crickets and the atari.

[@ferrisculhay5179]

Me and my brother spent an entire summer playing Asteroids on a black and white TV in the basement. Luvved every minute of it.

[@VeryHappyCat]

As someone born in the 2000s, I find it fascinating to see games with simple controls. The concept of creating a game that can be easily played and enjoyed is something that really captures my interest making game as a hobby.

[@chinabluewho]

Hard to describe but the appeal of the Atari was "pick up and play" as long as you didn't make the average game to complicated anyone could come by pick up a controller and use basic common sense to play, it is one of the many reasons the 5200 and 7200 failed to connect the way the 2600 did.

Back then when I had Atari in 1981-1983, it felt like a grown up man who drives a RR Phantom these days. Old is gold.

[@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY]

old isn't gold necessarily.

[@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI]

@@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY For me , it is. People used to have big hearts and care for each other. Life was simple. 😉

[@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY]

@@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI lol not really the world doesn't work like that

[@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY]

@@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI your childhood is going to be the easiest, oh, back then there were the most mafias ever and the most crime ever, the tech we have today helps to fight crime way more than it did back then. just saying.

[@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI]

@@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY I live in Saudi Arabia. We don't have mafia. We have a super low crime rate. Cutting criminals and murderes necks off and theives have their hands cut off by the Sword as a punishment, teaches people some discipline.

[@davidg.4943]

Greatings fellow 50+ year olds. Loved my 2600 back in the day.😆

[@carlossalcedo1607]

Estoy de acuerdo! Todavía conservo mi Atari 2600 VCS de 1981 en excelentes condiciones... Saludos cordiales!

[@Stiffjab71]

It's amazing what they did with so little memory. 2600 was the real deal back those days!

[@sauldownbadman876]

That's the assembly language for you, must have been so difficult to program these games

[@TheSweeney-UK]

I had one in the 80s, I spent many hours playing pole position-Asteroids-space invaders-breakout and many other games. All my mates had one so had loads of games to share around.

[@Williamthehedonist]

Loved watching this… i’m thinking of getting a new atari flashback !

[@uncletaylorify]

My cousin and I used to play Combat all the time on Atari! We loved the tanks that were invisible until you started shooting and we loved the shells that would bounce around the screen.

[@WAKE-UP-BRITAIN]

I was born in London in 83 my first computer was the 2600, good times and very much missed 💯❤

[@d.vaughn8990]

I am a 'kid' of the Atari era. Donkey Kong was released in 1982. Missile Command was released in 1981. I believe Mario Bros. was released in 1984 - but not entirely certain.

[@mamalillycat8756]

I had every game you showed! Loved pitfall!

[@jasona9]

Solid list! I also liked the games from ACTIVISION. Decathlon, Skiing, and Boxing were great.

[@jeffdon4]

These were the good old days.....things have changed so much since then.

[@kasunovinfinity]

Now it's all about money money money

[@beans-beans-theyre-good-fo8943]

These were really good old days, the older i get the more i miss them.

[@Echko05]

@Fat Chocobo yeah like what nes was better and can I have some to

[@mariaibanez2066]

Games de ese entonces eran y seran valiosos para quienes lo disfrutamos POR QUE RECORDAR ES VOLVER A VIVIR!!

[@carlossalcedo1607]

Totalmente de acuerdo con usted. Uff, que bonitos recuerdos con el Atari... Saludos!

[@pipsindiddle7850]

The music is totally distracting, you shouldn't have covered over the game sounds

[@nicholaswoodall6175]

i loved atari 2600 jungle hunt was my favorite game

[@almacamc9152]

I still play atari to this day and yes I love every minute back then and now

[@muscleguy675]

I still have my original Atari 2600 and all 75 games.

[@kyledoo2189]

[@zabagar]

Same here. My original 2600 and all my games in their boxes with manuals!

[@Pinecone_on_pizza]

@@kyledoo2189 what about x man

[@patsfan4life]

zabagar how much for it?

[@Hologhoul]

Atlantis looked nice.. Activision were incredible, what they achieved on the VCS! River Raid and Pitfall, remarkable games.

[@patsfan4life]

Illuminated Skeletons Atlantis is very good.... has a great 2 player co-op mode

[@Hologhoul]

Cheers, I'll take a look via emulator :-)

[@Hologhoul]

I've just played it via www.playretrogames.com/7434-atlantis - it's superb! Beautiful how they did the multicoloured spaceships, and there are some alarming sound effects as well!

[@colorado_river5003]

Atari was my childhood.

[@insanesmoke9375]

gotta love the Atari 2600 i never own one as a kid but as adult now i can see why it's the best

[@b2theherb]

I grew up with the Nintendo ds but sometimes I prefer these kind of games...

[@oosha2000]

Well I really had no complaints about 80's games at all although some are challenging, I'm interested in these games

[@douglasfernandes9969]

should never forget this video game because they were produced for them several unforgettable classics.

[@trolltwin1485]

What was the music playing in the background called? Please send me a link.

[@gregtarbuck2067]

My favs were Pit Fall, Enduro and Defender

[@michaeljordan6008]

For those of who played these games when they were new, we don’t have much time left.

[@ElColeccionistaZ]

Great work regards my friend

[@bdaddyn678]

In Pitfall for the Atari 2600, I always run to the left. It is way easier that way.

[@piumraprathiban7006]

What is the sound track on the last few seconds of the vedio

[@justinotherguy198]

Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in the background? I really like it👌👌👌

[@MJM804]

What about "Combat" that was an awesome game!

[@AloanMoreira1]

Armor Ambush was better in the tank vs tank dept :D

[@danilosouflamengoecampeaom7983]

Jogava muito o Atari nos anos 80 , saudações Atari show 👍

[@janthedoodler]

Such satisfying 8 bit games!

[@yusufobleton1292]

What was the game that you flew the helicopter 🚁 threw the obstacles???? I thought it was called Cobra Triangle but when I Google that something different cones up

[@DavidDutkowski]

I got an Atari 2600 right when it came out. Was both amazing and pissed me off at the same time. We would go to the arcade and have amazing graphics., and then this was what Pac Man was like at home. lol. But Pitfall was awesome. I think my favorite cartage was MegaMania by Activision.

[@aloni75]

Great list!

[@alishamkhi2666]

I remember my selfish causin that didn't allow me to play this game in childhood

Now I know, Mario bros was originated in Atari before he went to Family Computer.

[@Echko05]

What Is the songs

[@JT-uf3pr]

You can get all the arcade games on MAME .

[@cursosunacontaduria]

Yars Revenge should be on the list.

[@yasiralsaeed1977]

Anyone can tell us about the music please

[@abstracttim7428]

Yeah... what's the tune at the start?

[@JohnWatsonPuppetChannel]

I’ve played all but three of the games on this list. Pac-Man was my favorite.

[@jeffwise8194]

What made vid games like these was that they were new. All anyone did was play pinball and board games in those days. I think Pong was the first. It was a viral fad back then.

[@jorgevergara9600]

DON KING KONG,UNO DE MIS VIDEO JUEGOS FAVORITOS,PACMAN,EPACE INVADERS,GALACY,AND MORE. EL VERGARA,LA BOS

[@nrviking]

Demon Attack was awesome!

[@rafaelvasconcelos3756]

[@alextostado7548]

Dudeeee!!! What happened with Moon Patrol???

[@actlike5095]

some1 need to invent time machine travelling i would go back there

[@antcali1]

Great list but consider removing the music. Let the original sounds do the talking :-) thanks for the upload.

[@BigAlWillis]

was there an Atari original, before the 2600?

[@patsfan4life]

Phoenix was actually more fun than Demon Attack

[@Rastiko]

Increible casi lloro de recordarlos, Buen video

[@MsDNA100]

I'm such an idiot. I should've NEVER thrown out my atari.

[@MyloshEK]

I give mine 6 years ago to my nephew. So it's up to him if I ever regret that

[@jamesstasiak]

In 1980, the space invaders came and looked exactly like that. Praise Sir Clive Sinclair xxx SO`FIA

[@swk38]

have you ever played an atari before?

[@snoworries4342]

PAC-MAN was awful on 2600.. what about moon patrol, yars revenge, defender....

[@chrismcmackin8156]

E.R.A Studios I was obsessed with Yars Revenge.

[@richardherzog5405]

E.R.A Studios Defender sucked on Atari . Stargate was actually good

[@smbsuperfan271]

Not to be rude but where the hell is Adventure, Yars revenge, and frogger? Just asking

[@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243]

That Donkey Kong looked more like Coleco Vision to me?

[@lorenzoflores9723]

El de jungle hunt,lo preste y nunca me lo regresaron, eso me pasó por fiado.

[@carlossalcedo1607]

Jaja, sí. Yo también presté un par de juegos, como Enduro y Star Master, y nunca los pude volver a recuperar, triste..:-( Saludos!

[@jasonpinson8755]

Good game.

The one I have came out in 1981. It's the same as the one in the video www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-donkey-kong_8011.html

[@d.vaughn8990]

@@alloneword7427 @Alloneword trust me - this never hit store shelves until later in '82. If memory serves, October '82 - give or take a month. I was in 6th grade at the time. Atari was at the center of my world! Seems everyone received a copy that Christmas - that and Demon Attack!

[@jeffreyparsons9747]

why does everyone on youtube think they have to wallpaper their video with tacky music

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I feel like when our graphics were limited our game creates had to be so much more creative.

Pitfall seems hardcore

I remember being so disappointed at how crappy Pac-Mac was on Atari.

[@ironscatman]

I think pac man should've been replaced by adventure.

[@rosemcnierney3972]

Loved Adventure!

There's nothing bad about prototype remake like space invaders 8 bit and 16 bit or solar fox and solar wolf or others

0:30 Pacman for Atari wasn't exactly a classic. :P

[@frownyfaceemoji9878]

PAC MAN?!

[@starplushtv2185]

I was born way too late😥

[@chriscorsello]

This must be a list of "best selling" games, because these are the standard well known titles. The arcade game Pac-man was awesome, but the 2600 version was disappointing even at the time. If anything Ms. Pac-man for the 2600 was way better. Mario Brothers wasn't big on the 2600, it was only when Super Mario Brothers came out for Nintendo years later that people started saying "oh yea, there was a Mario Brothers game for the 2600." At the time, it was mediocre at best. This is just a lazy list of some of the most well known 2600 games.
