The Atari 2600 is one of the earliest gaming consoles owned by Randy Charles Johnson. He has discussed it in multiple videos, including comparisons with the 3DO ("Colecovision VS. Atari 5200") and reviews of individual games.
Randy owned an Atari 2600 as a child. A childhood friend, envious of Randy's console, begged his mother to buy him one after seeing Randy's — she did. Randy has reviewed the Atari 2600 joystick, noting its distinctive design, and has made videos about specific 2600 games including Pac-Man ("Pac-Man For The Atari 2600"), Combat, Space Jockey, and Demon Attack.
He recalls the console fondly as part of the early 1980s gaming landscape that included the Video gaming crash of 1983.
