The Atari 2600 is an old video game system and a running gag on HomestarRunner.com, with Atari characters, games and controllers appearing often. Quite possibly the simplest video game system ever, the Atari 2600's single button, single joystick controller conveys the feeling of a simpler, easier time. It featured games like Asteroids, Pong, Missle Command and the like.
