Atari is one of the greatest systems around.  Sure the graphics sucked, but the gameplay was one of the best.  Any of you new gamers who only play your XBox 360 definitely need to check this system out.  Get an emulator and download the 2 meg zip file of ROMS.

Many of my first memories occured while playing the Atari.  Sure nothing really happened but that was really significant, but kids just like having fun.

I remember playing with my neighbor Jason a bit.  I can even remember watching my mom play her favorite game, Mega Mania.  I also remember going over my uncle pauls and playing superman and spiderman in his basement.  In elementary school I remember going over to Chris Wade's house and playing Haunted House.  Riddle of the Sphinx is a game that my Dad used to play with us.  

I also remember shopping for them when the Atari was going out of style at KB Stores.

Here is a list my brother and I compiled of all the games we used to have:

Worm War	Haunted House	Riddle Of The Shinx
Barnstorming	Bermuda Triangle	Berzerk
Mouse Trap	Centipede	Combat
Commando	Superman	Demon Attack
Kaboom	Pitfall	QBert
ET (THE WORST GAME EVER!)	Frogger	Megamania!!!!! MY Moms fav
	Lock N Chase

 
Sadly my mom just gave our atari away without even asking us in Elemntary School to my cousins Drew and Sean and they didnt even use it and ended up giving it to a hospital.  I was so mad that day when I found out.  Dan and I had so much fun playing atari too.
