Classic Game Room - ATARI 2600 Controller review

Classic Game Room HD reviews the standard, single button, single joystick ATARI 2600 controller. This is the iconic controller that so many of us grew up with back in the 70's and 80's. These came with the Atari 2600 VCS video computer system over here in the United States of America. Durable, cheap and plentiful, you should have no problem finding one of these for sale extremely cheap. Works well with games like Mario Bros. Brothers on the Atari, Donkey Kong, Yars' Revenge, Frogger, Vanguard and Pac Man. You ain't cool unless you have one of these controllers. Nothing says I'm into old school retro awesome classic video games like breaking one of these things out at a party. You can even mix a cocktail with it.

@nerf9560 It's supposed to be stiff! That's how I like it! Fits my hand better. Wait I'm only pouring gas on your fire am I?

[92soothsayer]

any1 know how to fix it if the down direction isnt working? if my characters in my games arent moving downward?

[nerf9560]

@ThatGiantRussian He's not bored, it's his job to review stuff.

you should pick up the POINT-MASTER atari 2600 controller and review it. i have 2 of them, the only difference is that the button is on the joystick, and the controller base is slightly round at the edges. IMO, its better than the the regular 2600 controller. the only down side is that ive heard its not compatible with some games, although it works perfect with all mine. (i have asteroids, space invaders, Pele's soccer, football, breakaway 4, combat, night driver, donkey kong, and freeway)
