I think people forget that there has to be a progression of technology and competition drives that. Without Pong machines, there would not have been machines with carts. Simplistic graphics give way to more advanced graphics as competition drives the creation of something better. And it just continues. It's almost like saying that I wish there had never been those big, bulky cellular phones first. They were crap, why bother? LOL
I did. But a part of me wishes the Atari 2600 was not invented. I might be playing the Odyssey 12. :21:
I do joke but reading your latest batch of 2600 reviews makes me even more grateful for the 2600 release.Some great gems that sometimes get overlooked and need to be played.
