Its a real shame that some of the old Atari 2600 games are really not in any way being played anymore. Really, its all gone by way to the Xbox and Playstation, massive encompassing games that do not have the esssence of simplicity in their build. I miss River Raid. That was a game that I played for hours as a youth. It was the sine qua non experiment in future gaming of the day. I had much to do and it was a busy experience.
What about today, its all embellished with video graphics of backgrounds and all the like and you get lost in the world. Its not a game anymore, its an adventure in cyberpixels. Probably not bad, but I liked the games. Real games. Maybe someday they will do a retro and make atari 2600 games that you can play on your home PC or your home Xbox. Just to keep the adventure alive. It is almost like thinking of a book that was once well read being tossed into the bin of obscurity and never read again. We still read the classics. Lets keep the games alive. Kids love them!
