Carl Williams writes, "Doom 2600 does something that is technically impossible. It brings id Software’s Doom to the classic gaming console. The Atari 2600 was obviously not designed to do 3D games so seeing something like Doom 2600 is impressive. 99% of the game is lost in translation, what is here is still spiritually “Doom”. That is the point of a demake."
“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
Cool
Just when you thought a first person shooter couldn't look or play any worse than on a ZX Spectrum..
I want this just to collect it I have Halo for the 2600 this might not be worth anything but it would be neat to have.
"The Atari 2600 was obviously not designed to do 3D games so seeing something like Doom 2600 is impressive."
It really isn't... This looks like crap. Just because someone decided to make this flickery mess and slap the name "Doom" in it doesn't make it praiseworthy.
.... i dont get it
