I believe it's less than 10,000 transistors. When I get to editing Stella
at 20, I'll go over the technical stuff again and be able to give a more
specific number :)
In a lot of ways, the 2600 is like one of the pre-Warner analog Atari
arcade games with a CPU driving it. The style of the electronics, the use
of poly counters and delays and strobes and such all came from coin-op.
That's why it's so vastly different from a computer-style archetecture such
as the Bally Astrocade.
