    Atari 2600 turns 30!

    The Atari VCS (2600) turns 30 this month


    Released in October of 1977, the Atari VCS eventually went on enjoy a 14-year run of unparalleled success before officially being discontinued in December of 1991. Since then, dozens of amateur programmers have continued to create new software for it, and today the system is still very much the center of the 'retrogaming' world.

    14 years of success? Dunno about that.

    NES established itself in the mid to late 80s and easily had the market by the early 90s.

    It did sale fairly well over a 14 year span though. No ther system (desides Gameboy) has ever done that.

    Here's Britney Spears' private jet... The gulf stream 3 doesn't even have a remote control for its surround sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free isn't a big deal?

    The news artical is not my doing, check the website, its all there
    ...... SO I dont know what youre talking about.

    No ther system
    Okay, No other, Hmmmm Thats a new low? I left out an o! Oh no! Sale! Gosh! Wow! desides Okay fucking shoot me! FUCK! You must set your standards really high or you just want to pick on someone.


    I do crap like that al the time. It so weird too. Most of the time I do double check my posts but sometimes I do not. When I type I look at the keyboard and for some reason what I want to type doesnt happen. Often I add more letters or leave some out but the strange part is I add words that shouldnt be there. I have no idea how I do it either.


    I should download a spellchecker I guess but I do not like to depend on spell check. If I dont know how to spell something I like to look it up and learn. Oh well, I didnt think it was all that bad!!!!! Now go fuck yourself! Just kidding! lol

    Mels, I swear what you had done was deliberate, hence my comment. I normally don't call out people on it (anymore) as it might hurt their feelers.

    Thanks for not taking it with a whole bag of salt.
