Atari 2600 Programming is a NIGHTMARE

Have you ever wanted to program games for an old console? Hopefully the answer is no because, if the Atari 2600 is anything to go off of, it's really difficult. In the Atari's case, it's because it has a very crappy video adapter, almost like it was made in the 70s or something...
