Doom 2600 does something that is technically impossible. It brings id Software’s Doom to the classic gaming console. The Atari 2600 was obviously not designed to do 3D games so seeing something like Doom 2600 is impressive. 99% of the game is lost in translation, what is here is still spiritually “Doom”.

Bandit Gaming – Aventura Updates Classic Adventure for Sega Genesis
October 24th, 2016 Carl Williams The classic Adventure on the Atari 2600 was one of those games that you either loved or hated. For many they loved it.
