In brief: The Atari 2600 – also known as the Atari VCS (Video Computer System) – is an early video game console, created and manufactured by Atari from 1977 to 1985. The 2600 used individual game cartridges and had distinctive joysticks and other special controllers (like paddles, for analogue dial-based control), most with only a single fire button.

Games for the Atari 2600 are simple, and tiny. With not much variety, and they’re not much to look at… So why bother with them? Because some 2600 games genuinely do have that something special that still make them fun to play today. Which is incredible when you consider the console’s limitations.

Shout out to zub and to other Atari 2600 fans for their support.

There are many more Atari 2600 games in the grabs collection!
