While the name Atari is familiar to me, the 2600 was not - turns out it was before even <i>my</i> time :D. The <a href="http://stella.sourceforge.net/">Stella emulator</a> actually runs on a whole slew of platforms, so if you're game for a trip down memory lane, here's your chance.

That comment sure dates you - as extremely young... and perhaps a little naïve when it comes to history of console gaming.

TBH honest, I've never been comfortable with consoles - my gaming started on a PC (actually microcomputers) back in 1976. Graduated to an Apple II in 1978, and IBM PC in 1982. I'm certainly no expert on consoles :wink:

I'd like to find Super Mario Brothers for Windows Mobile, the official version, not a clone. I'd also like to find Donkey Kong.

I just dug out my old Atari 2600, 7800 and original NES a few days ago. It'd be cool to hook them back up if I could find TV adapters. The memories. Lol

I have a drawer full of 2600 games. I've been playing 2600 games on my PPC's for a few years now thanks to the emulators. It amazes me how I have over 100 of my personal atari roms on my device and it uses less than 64 megs of space.

Cool video... very well done.

That's cute. I used to have an Atari 2600 when I was a kid... It was THE greatest! Hours and hours of fun...

Has anyone been able to get this to work on a Treo 750?
