Difficult but definitely doable.  Darek Mihocka made an absolutely wonderful
Atari 800 emulator for the Atari ST.  Since then, he has made an impressive
ST emulator for the IBM PC.  I'll bet you could take the 800 emulator and
cut out a lot to make it into a 2600 emulator, buy his ST emulator, and
voila, almost instant 2600 emulation.  Is there anything about the 2600
that is more difficult to emulate than the 800?  I mean he got the
Display list interrupts, player missile graphics and just about everything
else working...  If I were going to go to that much trouble, I'd probably
go for making a 7800 emulator...

I'll bet it would be even more doable on the amiga...  Hell, you could
probably write a lynx emulator and cause all sorts of trouble heh heh...
Maybe I will buy an amiga after all...

Since IBM PC's have forsaken elegance for brute force computational power,
it's going to be harder to do it directly on the PC, but sheesh, 50 Mhz ought
to be enough to emulate a 2 Mhz video game or those things really rot...

Of course they do really rot but that's another issue entirely...
