/vr/ - Retro Games

It was at least as good as about half of the 2600's library, it was pretty bad but even an Atari fan I can recognize that fact. The issue was that it was the first real licensed home video game and for whatever reason Atari thought that the game would just start selling like hotcakes and literally produced more games than consoles because they thought that E.T. on name alone would make kids go on an Atari frenzy, buying consoles like bottles of water before a hurricane.

In fact if you read the manual (as you're expected to for 2600 games) and understand what you're doing... it's average for Atari VCS standards. Want to know why there aren't youtubers making fun of most bad 2600 games? There's not too many games like River Raid......
