editor Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I was feeling nostalgic this week and found myself on eBay. Bad combination. Now I really want to get my hands on some old Atari machines like the ones from my youth. Specifically, I'm looking for a 2600, a 5200, a 7800, or a 400. An 800 was my dream machine, so maybe one of you has one gathering dust and can make my dreams come true 25 years later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnu Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 about 5 years ago, I drug out atari out of the basement with all the old games and brought it to work...someone ended up stealing it an all the old games! it was so much fun! the little tank game, and pitfall and oh so many others. Circus Atari one of the few games that used the "paddles" and then later - Activision's River Raid...stayed up late many nights with that one. Mine still works...well at least it did a few years ago...gotta jiggle the levers though to get it to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, Yar's Revenge, and Haunted House were my favorites. All of my friends were into Adventure, but I just didn't have the patience for it.

Thanks, but that's a little rich for my blood. But my wife bought me one of those TV Games joysticks that plug right into the TV, so I'm getting my fix anyway!

Wait, hold up, I will have to back up here. I could have sworn I saw this NEW machine out. But, I cannot locate it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
