Atari 2600 enters Strong National Museum of Play’s Hall of Fame
November 12, 2007 – 9:46 amFiled under: Gaming
We know that the Atari 2600 doesn’t really need more accolades, but it’s always nice to see the system get propers from the man upstairs. In this particular case, the man upstairs happens to be the Strong National Museum of Play’s Toy Hall of Fame (that’s a mouthful). To date, the museum has only added 38 toys to its list, so Atari’s old pixel pusher joins the ranks of luminaries such as G.I. Joe, Barbie, the Slinky, Hula Hoops, and the Kite. In addition to being the newest entry, the console also has the distinction of being the most recently invented toy in the Hall of Fame, though we understand that claim was nearly edged out by Silly Putty. Congratulations, 2600, you’ve come a long way.
