Classic Game Room - ATARI 2600 CARTRIDGE DESIGNS review

Classic Game Room HD reviews the various cartridge designs for videos games on the ATARI 2600 video computer system VCS. Games on the Atari came in many shapes and sizes like Combat, Berzerk, Yars' Revenge, Demon Attack and Q*Bert. Atari games are highly collectible today and many can be quite rare like Actionauts and SwordQuest Waterworld. They came in hard plastic shells like games for the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES, Sega Genesis and SNES, but these Atari games stand out because of the variety in physical styles from manufacturing. Do you want to start a collection of Atari 2600 games to have for years to come and enjoy? Do you playing old school retro games that are better than the newest games on the market? Then you NEED to learn to collect original Atari games, emulators will not do them justice. To actually hold the physical Atari game in your hand, plug it into your Atari 2600 and play it with an Atari controller is the real deal.

they should make one that looks like a sword so it looks like a sword is in your atari and you can pull it out and fight with it when lord karnage and his army of wind squids come knocking at your door

just yesterday I noticed that the cartriges that were made by coleco were put in rightside-up rather than other companies where you put them in upside-down

I never realized Activision cartridges were interlocking. Damn, now I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my 2600 games. Can't believe I never realized that before.

@CAEStudios I don't know, Lord Karnage is hardcore, I don't know if he can be beaten. Wind Squid is no joke either. :D

That and the great graphics on Imagic games make me collect all of them.

Those cheap and light carts you were talking about without the pics (like Air Raiders) were made by Mattel and were far cheaper then you think. They're actually old Intellivision cartridge cases with a modification (that weird box on the bottom making the cart look chunky) so it could fit properly into the 2600. :)

Activision games are defiantly the best! There designs may not have good pictures, Mark, but it's usually just an animation of the actual game.
