For a good analogy... the 2600 existing in 1983 is like the PlayStation existing now. If someone were to see the PSX on the shelf and say "wow, ahahaha, games havent progressed a bit since 1996, that PSX is still selling, the game industry blows", you'd say they're a total idiot, right? Well, it's the same thing with the 2600 - the 2600 was being sold in 1982, it was still popular, but it was by no means top of the line gaming. Likewise, the PSX is still around now, it still sells, but its by no means indicative of the current generation of software.
And if you ask me the C64 is the best game machine ever...
I understand what your saying but not why you care to argue that fact with me..
