I play my favorite 2600 games on Stellla. I have over 300 games for my 2600 games that I bought for $1 each over the years.

A true friend doesn’t care about the amount of “stuff” you have. They enjoy being with you. Great toon today, gents. Gracias

The old arcade games are fun. But I wouldn’t be caught dead playing with a 2600. Lousy graphics with no detail whatsoever and worst of all, absolutely terrible joysticks with no tactile feedback and an uncomfortable shape. My hands would grow tired trying to hold them after only a few minutes.

Her friend may be “poor” but she knows what happiness is and that makes her richer than most of us.

You might be surprised to learn that the Atari 2600 actually did not have a video processor. All it had was a circuit that drew lines of varying colors across the screen from top to bottom. It could not rotate graphics or project more than two image on a single line.

I love Atari! I haven’t played an Atari system since the 80’s.

Nora’s family may not be wealthy, but they live on a corner lot, which means they’re paying mor in property taxes.

My mistake, it’s not a street corner, but an alley way. Cantu and Castellanos really know how to incorporate detail!

It doesn’t matter that the graphics aren’t great or anything. There is just something about playing an old Atari. I know I genuinely like playing old Atari games.
