Atari 2600

Hi everyone.

Look at my "new" toy!

Back in the day,,, 1978... (AD)

The Atari 2600 was THE best video game console. I prayed for one the first year for Christmas, and did not get one.

Next year, Got one for Christmas!

(Thanks Dad).

Recently I dug it out, and tried to get it working but it was dead.

So e-bay to the rescue...

$30 + $12 shipping and 7 days later... Wala!!! A brand new looking a +20 year old console for trin.

I know there are emulators for the pc,

But I just had to have the hardware again.

So, Any old school'ers out there still have one of these in the closet? They are getting quite valuable! I got a "deal" on mine for $30 usd.

A lil' 6507.

MOS Technology 6507 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The (big brother) 6502's were in all the computers (in the day).
