Quoted from Rarehero:I grew up with Atari, and most retro collectors I know don't give a shit about Atari. Even when I was a kid I didn't like it that much, since the arcade ports were so terrible. NES and onward still holds up. Atari doesn't.
I was part of the Atari generation as well, but have zero interest in the consoles. Those just kept me busy until I could get back to the arcade. The garage full of arcade games fill that need. I have recently started getting the Nintendo consoles, and you are right, they still hold up well. I played through the original Zelda recently, and I enjoyed it just as much as I did 30 years ago.
