Like the title says, I don't like Atari. Beyond the popular, but not 100% correct theory that Atari caused the original Video Game Crash, I have zero love for Atari beyond the historical impact the brand had. Yeah sure, it was quaint and mind-blowing for the time, but beyond the nostalgia, the Atari systems suck. I didn't grow up with it, but I grew up in the 90s, which might as well have been 1980s Part 2: Electric Boogaloo for me since I was surrounded with 70s and 80s tech and entertainment. Hell I played my mom's old Sears Telegames 4 Pong clone that her dad got her and her brothers, so I do have an appreciation for pre-NES systems. But I've never cared for Atari, and every time they die, get revived, and die again, I feel nothing for them, not even when I see a 2600 completely wrecked at the garbage dump(which has happened a few times). If this came off as a ramble, my bad, but I need to know if anyone else avoids or hates Atari games and systems.
