Donkey Kong was on Atari, so Mario was indeed on Atari.

I had an Atari 2600 and almost every one of the games they showed there.

Wow. I remember DK being an arcade game, but never made the connection although I know that Atari made a lot of arcade games. Cool!

I still do!

BTW, best game of the platform, by far, is Pong Sports.
Bet none of you remember that the 2600 was a 4-player system, huh?

Since we're on topic of reviews of old school (and sometimes hilariously bad) games, one can't have a thread without some classic AVGN reviews.

They forgot Haunted House:

I remember back then we used to go in the woods and play Pitfall IRL.

 

[Aratus]

i actually bought the two buck priced E.T Atari cartridge and played that there game several years after
the infamous crash, i got quite a few of the classic Atari games very cheaply when NINTENDO ruled all!!!!

 

[Aratus]

my favorite ATARI game was POLE POSITION the race car game! i'd play it for hours!

 

[jkr]

I paid $60 USD for PITFALL II when it was released...most expensive game at the time

That guy is hysterical... and I never even got to play these games when I was a kid... still fun to watch

Why am I not surprised to find fans of that game on a board full of virgins living in their parents' basements? lolz

tmnt is so fucking hard. ninja gaiden was the worst. so many automatic hits and shitty respawns in the worst of places.
