RECOMMENDED EMULATORS
  1. Stella (v1.0 / 6 OS(s))
    Stella is the Virtual Gameboy of the Atari 2600 emulation community. With a good level of compatibility and versions available for many operating systems, Stella is naturally one of the most popular 2600 emulators.

  2. PC Atari (v2.0b / MS-DOS)
    PC Atari is the only Atari 2600 emulator to emulate the special chip needed to play Pitfall 2! Compatibility is terrific, speed is great, an easy to use GUI is included... PC Atari is official 'damned good'.

  3. z26 (v1.30 / MS-DOS)
    Paul Robson's A26 has been picked up by John Saeger and updated regularly with new bug fixes and enhancements. Development is quite fast and new versions come out often. This is definately an emulator to watch closely!
