Atari 2600 has always been my favorite video game console. I love it so much. The games are so simple ( how complicated can you possibly get with 1 button? ) and yet, they can be so involving. I bought mine off a friend for 5 dollars, and i know own 3 different versions of the console as well as about 90 games. Yet another interesting note: the controller can be substituted not only for a genesis controller, but also a commodore 64 controller. The atari also has an odd power input. It looks very much like an 1/8th inch headphone jack. i have always been tempted....
