12/28/2022 0 Comments Lke2600 driver download![]() ![]() ![]() I didn't play the 2600 during its life, though the NES was the first console I knew. Released in 1977, the system was the first console to be a huge hit, and it won its generation (the second) by a huge margin. The Atari 2600 was one of the most important consoles ever. Atari did that because of the crash, Sega because they liked releasing new hardware at an unhealthily steady pace. Yes, Sega and Atari both had multiple third gen consoles, one early and the other later. They clearly should be considered third generation, along with the NES, 7800, and Sega Master System. On that note, Wikipedia and GameFAQs may call the 5200 a "second gen" console, but the non-NES new systems of 1982-1983, including the 5200, Colecovision, Sega SG-1000, and Vectrex, came 2 1/2 to 3 years after the last system released, and were called "next-gen" at the time. There are hundreds of 2600 games, but only about 65 for the 7800, which is about the same number as the system Atari had in between those two, the Atari 5200. 7800 games cost a bit more it's maybe $3-5 for the cheaper games, $30-50 for the rarer ones. More than that is only for the true rarities. most 2600 games cost between $0.50 and $5 for the slightly pricier ones. Think basic cellphone-game level stuff, only often with even less variety. The games are generally EXTREMELY simple, as was true in all consoles up until about 1984. The Atari 2600 is a true classic, certainly one of the most important videogame consoles ever. I'd never owned an Atari system before, and had barely ever played one, but that changed when I got an Atari 7800 back in April.
