Intellivision, Colecovision, or Atari 2600?

[_joshuaTurbo]

I say 2600.  It has the most shovel ware, but also the largest library, and games can be found pretty much anywhere.  (Thrift shops, retro game stores)  The 2600 was also badass strong, you could throw it against a wall and it would still work.  I heard InTV's just stop working for no reason.  What a pile of piss.

Or just go for the 7800, not only do you get the entire 2600 library but you also get 7800 games, that are better versions of 2600 arcade ports.  AND you also can own and play the immortal Ninja Golf.

Ninja Golf was the greatest video game concept in the history of all video games.  It puts Ys I&II to shame. 

lol

The Atari 7800 is a lesson in what not to do when your competition is already kicking your ass.

the 7800 was a great system that got screwed by circumstances. Those circumstances being a) it's being put on hold for almost 3 years, b) having cheapskate first and 3rd party support, and c) Atari's inability to modernize stylistically (until it was too late).

I grew up with the Intelli as my first console.  One (two?) word(s)...  Shark!Shark!  Balls to the f*cking walls fun! What about Snafu and Armor Battle.  That SOB had good games.  Your Atari aint got nothing!  Congo Bongo was awesome, but I think was ported to every console.

Just sayin.
