    Definitely the 2600. I may be biased, as it was the first true console I had as a kid. But you’re right, in terms of impact, it has to be. It totally smoked the Intellivision and Coleco in sales. It also gave us Brian Cranston and Jack Black

    If Atari hadn’t been responsible for the video game crash and had been a little more realistic about the Jaguar, they may still be around as a fourth contender in the console wars today. It just seems like toward the end, everyone kinda lost their minds when marketing the Jaguar. It was just way too overhyped and way too underpowered, but they all acted like it was the hottest shit on the market.
