The 2600 could not do those legs on the mushroom guys. Resolution was only 192 x 160.

Yeah - I don't think people remember just how underpowered a 2600 was. There's no way you'd get smooth scrolling, tons of objects on-screen, and great sound like you see in this demo. Look at Pac-man on the 2600 - way fewer objects and level detail, and still a miracle that it ran.
