Do You Remember Atari?

Ok my friend how do you come up with these wonderful discussions that make me smile. Oh man Pack Man yes eating all those dots in that maze and then going for the cherries so you can eat the pack man. Then the Popular Ping Pong beep beep beep and that ball across the screen with thos paddles. Memories you gotta love them. Thank you for making me remember these wonderful memories. See you are doing a lot of good today this is the second time you made me happy. Although I am still remembering that poem you had the discussion on that still has me in a good mood. Thanks for all you have done for me today. I am feeling better today because of your contributions into my life today.

Are you kidding? Do I remember Atari?!?!?! I remember a friend getting the system and we were addicted to that litle tennis game. All it was was a smal line as a paddle and a ball of light bouncing bck and forth. But it sucked us in completely! I could not place that game enough. It was so bad, that when she didn't want to play, I would ply it on my own. But then...she didn't want to play it at all anymore. :( Which, I understood. But it was a load of fun. LOL Nowadays though...I am not one for much vedo games. I prefer to have my nose in a book. :)

I seem to remember using an Atari was when my dream job as a computer programmer went pear shaped .. good grief programming (well then anyway) is the second most boring thing I can think of ... I had to spend hours and hours and hours writing a little programme to make a matchstick man walk up a flight of 4 steps ... about 15 hours of work for around 5 seconds of action ... And you couldn't save your work on the Atari either .. so you had to leave it switched on until you had completed the programming .. I'd best not tell you what I said when I had been typing in a programme for several hours and we had a power cut

i loved the atari!! i remember on the 2600 playing asteroids with my father. and the neverending pitfall. i seem to remember star wars games on it too, maybe the 7800

i found an atari under my bed the otherday forgot it was there atari7800 i think it said on the box has a couple of games impossible mission meltdown ikari warriors joust donkey kong junior looks to be all there i might plug it in 1 of these days see if it blows me up

The first game i ever had was the ping pong game. lol This site should bring back some memoires... http://www.atarimuseum.com/mainmenu/mainmenu.html

I had an atari. I thought they were so great when they came out. Pac Man, Centepede, and Pole Position were my favorites. My kids have Playstation now. They make a game for it that's has a bunch of the old atari games on it. I got it for them thinking it would be so great, but they weren't impressed. Too boring compared to the games they have now.

I didn't get one until I moved in with my ex-fiance after highschool. We bought our Atari from his little brother after the little bro got a Nintendo (yeah, the first model). I kicked so much butt on Atari it wasn't funny. I don't see how these kids today play Defender & Pac-Man without joysticks. My biggest feat in the video game world is saving the Princess in Mario on SuperNintendo, lol. Hooked on the pc now.

When I was growing up my dad and I would play it all hours of the night. Space Invaders, Pac Man, Circus Atari, Breakout, Night Driver (one of my faves), you name it! Crystal Castles isn't one I've heard of though!

i do remember aTAri. but for got the games hehe..

Pacman of course! Oh man..that was so addictive! Nice little stroll down memory lane! Have a great day!

Okay, now you're aging me lol. I loved our Atari as a kid, and still remember how fascinated everyone was by it, the cords connecting the remote to the box were novel lol, even my grandparents came over once to watch us play it when we first got ours. We didn't have too many games at the time, just PacMan and I think a StarTrek game (my mother and brother are both trekkies, ugh), I think pole position, which was my favorite, and a few other ones that I'm spacing on. I saw an Atari at a store here not too long ago (think it was Costco), it was new but had all of the old games on it and had that retro look. I should have bought it, because I haven't seen it since lol.

I love my atari and my favourite game was-space Invaders the hours i spent on it just disappeared as i was so caught up in it!

I remeber Atari. I still have mine and alot of games. I have pac man. I love pac man and frogger. My brothers loved missile command I just was never any good at that one. My kids think my Atari is ancient. They don't really enjoy it. I like it alot better than the new game systems though. I have a hard time playing the ps2 and the xbox. My kids think it is funny.

I never had an Atari - but my cousins did. I love PacMan! I love going to the arcade and playing on those really old PacMan games.

Sure when I was a kid I used to play all that games, pac man is a classic but very difficult ehehe I liked very much arkanoid and bubble bobble. If you want check it out my discussion about retrogames. It is a jump in the past!

i used to play Centipede, Gallaga, Space Invaders in it. but i liked to play Centipede more often then. i just find it cute and doesn't give too much pressure when in game.

OMG...I never playing this game. What's ATARI looks like ? same as with sega or plyastation ? it's ATARI still available until now ??

i have heard of atari but have never seen it.

My first arcade system was the coleco telstar arcade, which was the first system to have cartridges. I had an atari 2600, too. You needed a lot of games cuz they were mostly pretty basic. Used to be you'd have a stack of them, trading them with other folks. The atari joystick was no fun, hard to use and hard on the hands. I spent a lot of time playing PC games like the OS/2 favorite Galactic Civilizations.
