Due to the glitch factor of Stella that I was unaware of, I shall be going back and reviewing some more Atari games that i was not able to successfully play.  Having said that, there are some good tutorials on how to set up Stella - one of the more popular Atari 2600 emulators.  The key...

It is difficult to locate playable Atari 2600 games, but sometimes modern-day apps have been created that will allow a good nostalgic gameplay.  While I was not able to play all the Atari games from 1977, I was able to see a few, and I would recommend Combat simply because it was one of the...
