It's an old video lol. Never played an atari 2600. I have played some Colecovision and Atari arcade games on the PS and PS2. Nothing beats playing arcade games at a movie theater, bowling ally etc.

@lmull3 haha could be worth finding. Although it is pretty damn hard. Way too fast. Oh yeah & I saw the DK in the other reviews. I personally like the DK on NES a lot more.

@lmull3 The 6 switch model with the woodgrain is the oldest. In 1981 they changed to 4 switches, took off the woodgrain, and began officially calling it the 2600. It was originally intended to have 2 built-in speakers, but instead they made the sound go through the TV output. Early games have "stereo" sound for the intended built-in speakers. Some later games use the TV Type switch as a pause (move it to B/W to pause the game). And on the difficulty switches, A = Advanced and B = Beginner.
