Hi Jim,
Yeah, there were actually quite a number of Atari games that were pretty
lame. Especially, in hindsight. Between the fact that the onscreen
graphics were pretty poor to begin with, and then poor game play some of
those games were pretty bad. Especially, for the Atari 2600 series.
Now, the Atari 7800 was actually a lot better. It had much better
graphics and as I recall there were a lot better selection of games.
However, it seems it was a little too late as Atari didn't last long
after putting out the 7800 which was arguably their best console.
However, by the time the 7800came on the seen Nintendo had entered the
console market with the NES which was blowing Atari, Colleco, and Sega
out of the water.

Hi Thomas,
Not sure if I ever played the Atari 2600 E T game, might have, seems
it was not very good. Also had an Atari 2600 game of chicken crossing
the road game that was pretty bad. Just one or two chickens at the
bottom of the screen and you tried to move them up the screen to cross
6 lanes of traffic. Just pretty bad. I also did not care much for
the Atari 2600 game of Star Trek. Think that the screen was split
into 3 sections. One was just a picture of the Star Ship Enterprise.
And one was tactile with I think dots representing the ships in
battle. Just didn't feel that it was up to Star Trek quality.
