Thats the main drawback of the 2600. Most of the good games for it are just inferior ports. Why not play the original version on mame? Some of the ports are terrible too, pacman on the 2600 is unplayable.

Fucking wow.
I wonder, are you the moron that was telling me not to do any work on my 2600 that only showed a garbled screen and kind of worked with centipede?

But it's having the exact opposite effect. When people see a faggot like you ranting like a mad fool it draws attention to him and highlights how retarded he is.
Never told you to do/not do anything with your 2600. I don't hang out on reddit. How did the recap go on your 2600? Because that;'s the first thing you did, as per your shit advice.

Different thread, softbrain. Some shrub that types exactly like you was telling me I should not take any troubleshooting steps in the FSM because I "needed to read the manual" first.

I have not recapped my atari yet, but I am going to because the axial cap is leaking and I'm not a softbrain that thinks 50 year old cans of electrolytic fluid are sacred and should never be touched.

You guys only play Atari for the novelty, right? Everybody knows it's shit? I have an Atari, and I have a lot of games for it, but we all acknowledge that the Atari ports are inferior in every single way to literally every other home console version, right? It's a cool retro 70s console and the woodgrain is sexy, but nobody actually thinks it's good, do they?

Marty, you have to go back.

Replacing capacitors that are well beyond their rated lifespan is never bad, this all started with you crying shill when someone mentioned replacing capacitors in a device from the fucking 70s.

Try one of these, zoomie, and you will think the 2600 is a fucking Neo Geo. The fact that the 2600 was contemporary to crap like this and still managed arcade quality ports like Space Invaders and Stargate is pretty fucking amazing, but you weebs can't see past no Super Mario.

Zoomer, the truth is some of us here are old enough that it was our first childhood system (or 2nd 3rd whatever) and we have nostalgia for it. Atari shines in multiplayer. Get Warlords, 4 paddles, and 4 friends (real friends, not social media ones). You'll have a hell of a fun time. Combat, while simplistic compared to games today, is still damn fun. Nothing like spawn killing your friend as soon as his tank stops spinning.

Sure the games are archaic as fuck, but back then, there were no comparisons. We still played outside and shit, but atari was something to do for a bit, not something that captured your attention for over an hour.
