The 2600 is undoubtedly a pivotal console in the history of video games, but you're right that it's a foundation more than anything. Few people would want to drive a Model T to work every day but skip forward a few decades and you have the type of classic car that most people would want in their garage. For a lot of us the 2600 is something to be admired from a distance, I suppose
- bullen 4y agoThe model-T is an amazing car even today. It had no oil/water-pump that could fail. This is the reason you go back to simpler things, everything today is over engineered. That said the C64 is a better device to learn for since it matches the NES in more domains and is a real computer with a keyboard! And now it's easy to connect it to the internet for multiplayer games! If you really need to go Atari then 7800 is the way.
