R36S Atari 2600 Games

How well does Atari 2600 run on the R36S?

Runs effortlessly on every R36 model. Many titles expect a single-button joystick, so the extra buttons go unused.

The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
