Atari 2600 Strella Emulator

Date/Time:




The Atari 2600 was the first video game console I ever owned, I had one back in 1982. The graphics for it was terrible, and the games were no better. The Atari 2600 came with a game called Combat, it was a isometric and side scrolling game. You could play against another player in tank vs. tank, airplane vs. airplane, and ship vs. ship battles. The worst game for the Atari was E.T. which was a very popular at the time. Everything for this game sucked. The game controls were terrible, there was no manual, there were no objectives, the game developer expected you to figure out what to do, and it was the worst game ever played. There were some good games, like Pitfall.

The Atari 2600 and the poorly made games was the reason for the video game crash of 1983. Atari was a billion dollar company back in the early 1980s. The joystick had one button, and the console came in three variants from 1977 to 1982
