I had the 2600, biznatch. Intellivision too.​
I had the 2600, too. I remember spending like 6 hours one day playing Pacman to make the score roll over at 100,000 (I think). There was a pattern that you could run that you would never get you caught by those pesky ghosts.

I had the Intellivision. Only gaming console I had growing up. My cousins had an Atari, so got to play that some.

My mom bought my brother a super nintendo after I had graduated and moved out. The spoiled little bastard...

I went Atari, Coleco, Commodore 64, PC. My brother had a Sega, PlayStation, then Xbox so I played those a bunch too.

As I noted before I have a Sega emulator right now but it's made by a 3rd party I think. Still pretty cool just for Sonic and street fighter alone.

Okay, for you guys that had an Atari or got to play one, what was your favorite game on the Atari?

I have to go with Asteroids.

I could never get into it. I was all about Pong and Pole Position.

Pitfall. I played the shit out of that.

Honorable mention to a game called Adventure that no one seems to remember.

Just to name a few. :art

I don't remember Adventure. I may not have had that game.

Oooooooo, I had forgotten about Space Invaders and Q-Bert. Dig Dug was another one that was in my regular rotation.

Paper Boy was another good one. I never had the game, but played it at the arcades a lot.

Yeah nobody seems to. It was like you had to go around slaying dragons and getting to a castle or something. I really liked it.
I remember it and liked that one as well.
