But one of the problems with playing on your computer is the screen
size...
Playing on a 31" TV or projection TV is *much*
nicer. :) Plus it is
easier to use a *real* joystick to paddle. (No adapter required).
There is also the CuttleCart, which allows you to play downloaded ROMs on
a real 2600. :)

Nothing beats playing the original games on the real hardware (wether its a
2600, amiga, c64, arcade game etc).
I have an original 2600 with maybe 20 original carts, I also have the atari
2600 emu with every cart made on my dreamcast console. I like the real 2600
better because of the joystick and paddle control, but use the dreamcast for
the games I dont have. >>
ah, there's nothing like cursing out a flaky joystick in the heat of battle.
ha ha. I've got several joysticks with much better action than the Atari ones.
