CGRHD reviews ATARI 2600 CARTRIDGE DESIGNS

Classic Game Room HD reviews the various cartridge designs for videos games on the ATARI 2600 video computer system VCS. Games on the Atari came in many shapes and sizes like Combat, Berzerk, Yars’ Revenge, Demon Attack and Q*Bert. Atari games are highly collectible today and many can be quite rare like Actionauts and SwordQuest Waterworld. They came in hard plastic shells like games for the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES, Sega Genesis and SNES, but these Atari games stand out because of the variety in physical styles from manufacturing. Do you want to start a collection of Atari 2600 games to have for years to come and enjoy? Do you playing old school retro games that are better than the newest games on the market? Then you NEED to learn to collect original Atari games, emulators will not do them justice. To actually hold the physical Atari game in your hand, plug it into your Atari 2600 and play it with an Atari controller is the real deal.

they should make one that looks like a sword so it looks like a sword is in your atari and you can pull it out and fight with it when lord karnage and his army of wind squids come knocking at your door

The ones made by …
The ones made by Matel look like an Intellivision cart with an adapter on them to work on the Atari. They do suck. I never knew activision games locked together. There was a game i found with a really funky design, Planet Patrol. Xonox double sided games were unique as well. Nice review

@SpeedyRaven2000 Hm, you’re right. Spelled just sounds wrong to me.

@alece1382 You …
@alece1382 You SPELLED “spelt” right, but spelt is a type of wheat.

Don’t take this seriously, I just wanted to make that joke.

things you only …
things you only find in 80 years: @ 05:22 is written in the cartridge warning “to be used ONLY with the joystick controls”

you guys YT generation born in the second half of 1990 will not ever understand what was exchange of cartridges in the house of people who have never seen in life and make new friends will not know the feeling of nostalgia I’m going through now almost made me cry of miss those times

Your cheap oddball …
Your cheap oddball skinny carts are manufactured by M Network(Blue Label)/INTV(White) and are usually ports of Mattel Intellivision games. The cart design is exactly the same as the carts for the Intellivision but has an extra plastic lip around the base to adapt them to the 2600.

Honestly, while some of the games where quite good, I always hated them because, while every other Atari game is easily stackable, INTV games just had to @#$% everyone up. Maybe that’s their master plan.

@deadline27 I don’t believe I did. “Spelt” is past tense.

Not to sound like a jerk… But you left out 20th Century Fox cartridges.

And no doubt ALL because we’re so into eye candy that we HAAAAAAD to have ultra high graphics and HD content. Doesn’t matter how long the game is nowadays. If it doesn’t like like it’s out of real life, we won’t touch it. :\

You think 50 gigs …
You think 50 gigs is too big? Soon they’ll introduce 200 Gig Blu-ray discs….because PS3 games will need them. MGS4 Used an entire dual layer Blu-ray disc (50 gig) and they still had to stifle the game.

Cartrages are much more expensive to manufacture, even flash based ones like a thumb drive.

MarNieCo July 21st, 2010 at 6:35 pm

i think the …
i think the difference in looks of cartridges of 2600 games is due to the unlicensed games made for the console in other words, Official Atari licensed Games were all put in the same cartridge shells by Atari, but manufacturers that ignored atari and manufactured unlicensed games had to be creative and create their own shells…

2 month old comment …
2 month old comment and whatnot, but an xbox 360 game is somewhere around 6-10 gigs.. a normal xbox game still is like 1.2gigs or somewhere around there, and the biggest external usb flash drives out there right now are 64gig, although a couple months ago i saw some 120gig ones that were leaked, but those are thumb drives.. you can probably fit an external flash HDD in an atari cartridge and clock in about 220-320 gigs of flash memory

The PS3 uses overly high capacity Blu-Ray discs… Like we really NEED them…
