I was still in high school. It was so great because it was novel and fun enough to play with family or alone for a little while, but not like the games today that suck people in for hours or even days. When the technology got better, I refused to buy a sega or xbox because I knew I would waste too much of my time playing.

I've tried playing modern day Xbox and Playstation games, but the controllers have something like 186 buttons on them. The 2600 had the joystick and the one button, sometimes simpler is better.
