Why do you choose the Atari 2600 console over clones and emulators or vice versa?

Do you feel like the Atari 2600 games should only be played like Bushnell and Dabeny meant them to be played?

Or... Do you enjoy the thrill of playing games with graphics so basic, they make Minecraft look like a Pixar film? Is it the charming simplicity of titles like "Pong" and "Combat"!

@xchido I play both; emulation and original hardware. With the Uno Cart I can play any game I desire on my 2600s or with emulation I can even play 2600 games on the go.

I don’t choose one over the other. I choose whichever one is best at the time, at home I might choose the tactile and nostalgic experience of the light sixer, but on the move I might emulate. It all depends.

@gpowerf I see, to me I rather stick to the OG camp! Purely for nostalgic reasons!
