I played a WHAT?

So, I was taking a Flash game making class, and on the last day, I was finished with my level (we were supposed to make 2 levels, but I was just finishing up my first level on the second to last day, so I didn't make a 2nd level.) and the guy that was teaching us had an Atari 2600 in his office, and he said we could play it once we were done and had our games burned onto disks so...
Yeah. I played it. The game in there is Pitfall, if you couldn't tell. I would've shown myself holding the joystick and all, but I was busy holding my laptop to make sure it wouldn't fall off the table.
Fun Fact: That TV is from K-Mart. It had a thing that said K-Mart in the place between the dials.
Fun fact #2: I found I was quite good with the joystick. I made it through a lot of screens before dying to the fourth set of crocodiles.
I played quite a few games, such as: Pitfall, E.T., Donkey Kong (kinda, sorta, not really, it was in there, and I had the joystick in my hand.), Adventure, and a few other titles whose names escape me.
And yes, the Atari worked quite well.

I am so jealous! I had one once. My dad gave it away. I cried. :(
