Jeff with Atari 2600
Atari 2600
While the Atari 2600 I have these days isn't my original, it's the same wood-grain, six-switch model I played so often as that kid at left.
Why do I favor it over modern game consoles? Partly because it was the first system I had as a kid, and partly because it's still fun. Pitfall, River Raid, and even Kool-Aid Man. Yes, they made a game of Kool-Aid Man.
I earned a patch for my score on Activision's Seaquest when I was a youngster, and when my kids get a little older, I'll let them play. Maybe.
