People Magazine Plugs Atari, Snubs Nintendo in “Celebrate the ‘80s!”

Published on January 01, 0001 by Chef Mia

The latest special issue of People celebrates the Atari 2600 as the console that “ruled [[link]] the interactive gaming world” in the 1980s – no mention of the original Nintendo, Sega all yono app

Master System or even go rummy

Coleco Vision. I’m not sure why People Magazine is even celebrating holy rummy

the 80s in the first weeks of 2009, but if they’re going to trumpet everything that ever mattered [[link]] between 1980 and 1989, why isn’t the NES on the there? According to this exhaustively researched article by GamesRadar, the NES sold way better than the Atari 2600.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In fact, aside from a joke about the 2600 [[link]] being the son of Pong, there’s no mention of video games in the 80s at all. Shame on you, People! People Magazine’s “Celebrate the ‘80s!” special issue is on shelves now. P.S. I think People actually meant to call out the Atari 2600 Junior. The original 2600 came out in 1977 and therefore hardly deserves to share page space with the Rubik’s Cube and a Cabbage Patch Kid.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.

I absolutely love the game selection here, especially the slot games. The graphics are amazing and the animations are super smooth, making every spin feel exciting and immersive. I've spent hours playing without getting bored!
