25+ years, and they still haven't figured out that brittle plastic hitting chicklet buttons inside a joystick doesn't hold up?

Actually, these joysticks are redesigned with modern components - the handle actually unscrews off the unit, and is supposed to be more reliable.  They just look the same, and will work on the 2600's...

That is so hilarious and so absolutely true.  A few months after Christmas everyone was playing their 2600s with hard, white joysticks.

And if there was ever a console system that was best left as a fond memory, it is the 2600.  Actually enjoying a 2600 game in today's world is a difficult task.

I was going to say that the only thing worse than the 2600 joysticks were the games, but skadar beat me to it.   ;)
