    There are a fair number of retro streamers who routinely talk about Atari games as if they're all a joke, as if the entire endeavor of making games in the Atari era was an exercise in comic futility. It's the same kind of ironic superiority some audiences view older films with.

        The "Racing the Beam" book really gave me a new appreciation of what Atari programmers had to deal with to get anything more than rudimentary to show up on screen.

        My first system is the 2600 when I was super tiny. I appreciate the ingenuity it took, I really do, but that's one of the few systems I just can't go back to... Though I Adventure is still amazing for the time, as is Raiders of the lost Ark... I even appreciate ET for what it is.

        I mean I get not wanting to go back to it, but to completely ignore what sprouted from that period, how entirely new the entire practice of making games was, and how entirely experimental it all was is just short sighted and silly.

        Are there really people who can watch the final scene of the 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still, or the President Lyman vs. Gen. Scott scene of Seven Days in May and not get chills?

        I’ve literally never even heard of those movies gramps. The only old timey movie star whose classic flix are still worth watching is Bruce Willis

        Atari games did all suck. The only good retro gaming period to venerate is the Super NES/Genesis->PSX/N64 era, and the fact that that was the era during which I was a child is probably just a coincidence

        My brain sometimes unconsciously calls these types of peole the "don't get it crowd". You know, because they just don't get stuff in general... Like, about everything.

        Many of them didn’t grow up with those as their first games. For me the NES was the third system I owned, after the 2600 and 7800. This was back when Activision wasn’t the scum of the gaming world and actually did memorable games.
