No thank you. We had the infinitely superior Coleco Vision. I don't have the system anymore but I DO play the games every once in awhile. Thank heavens for emulators... Atari? No thank you. We had the infinitely superior Coleco Vision. I don’t have the system anymore but I DO play the games every once in awhile. Thank heavens for emulators…

I, uh, don't remember these <i>particular</i> games, however. :) Yeah, I bought a like-new 2600 and multiple games off a friend fifteen years ago.

The first easter egg I ever found: Adventure. And I still know all the maze shortcuts. The first game I could literally play endlessly: Pinball. I could keep that dot bouncing up and down through the bonus channel for as long as I wanted. The game I never got as good at as I wanted: Pitfall.
