Long Live The Atari 2600

from the blast-from-the-past dept

Apparently, there are a ton of people still obsessed with the Atari 2600 (the most popular gaming console of the early 80s). People are even building new consoles for the 2600 and writing new games for it. Some consider programming for the 2600 a sort of "Zen excercise" since there are so many limitations put on what you can do.
