    As a kid I found the gameplay for most Atari 2600 games so shallow I could barely stand to play a game more than a few minutes… except for Combat. Man with two players, that was fun.

    I think that most people who once loved this game moved on from videogames a long time ago. Like almost all games on the Atari, it won't interest the younger generations for more than a few minutes. But I still remember it fondly.

      What is the appropriate age to move on from gaming? Asking for a friend.

      I think it holds up well enough. These older games that implement their controls well have a "feel" distinct to their respective console that's hard to get anywhere else.

      The only reason most people ignore home consoles before the NES is precisely this lack of showcasing of the best.

        I feel like NES is pretty much the dividing line of what you can get younger people interested in.
