The original Atari 2600 is my favorite system and #1 on MY list. I reccomend this system to anyone who’s interested in the history of home video gaming or anyone who enjoyed arcades when they were younger, they would love this system with its arcade based like games. Atari 2600 is still the only system that sold millions of consoles in two decades, the longest run of any game system to date. In the early 80s there wasn’t a home that didn’t own at least one Atari 2600. The game library is the largest for any system ever made having well over 1,000 titles because anyone who could put a program together could have it released for the Atari and because of that the game market crashed in 84 due to an over saturation in games and actually all game systems and games appeared to be dead, but Atari 2600 survived and continued sales into the early 90s. Anyone who’s owned one knows how fun these machines really are even though the graphix are nothing like todays games, but that’s also what makes them fun because it gives you the ability to use your imagination. Gradually, but surely todays kids are discovering and really getting into the whole retro gaming experience and they’re finding out about Atari and have started buying up the old sytems and collecting the games that are now quite sought after and could go for a pretty penny when coupled with its instructions still in the factory sealed box. I love my Atari 2600 and play it almost everyday. I really enjoy collecting the games f.

Good classic game console. The joystick controller was design during that era cannot be compare with the newer video game controller. But still a good play for a game console.

This old original Atari came as described. It is old and my husband and I could not wait to get it going. But first you have to have a special piece that connects the Atari to the newer tvs. So that delayed us in being able to us it. But once we got it going it was great. Yes it is a little fuzzy and there are those hiccups but what do you expect with it being 30 plus years old. The shop did in close several games which was awesome. The controllers all work well It was clean and we are happy with it. Can you believe our 13 year old daughter is loving the pacman and frogger games. All the new game systems we have an this is what she is choosing to play. I love it!

The Atari 2600…For those that remember it during it’s heyday, the Atari 2600 was a wonder to behold. The games were diverse, plentiful, and roughly close to their arcade counterparts. Many things about the Atari 2600 resounded within those that played it, making it (still) a viable option amidst all those PS 3’s and Xbox 360’s..You might be saying, “Why would I want to play this old thing with it’s clunky graphics and ho-hum sound effects?”..well, maybe not ALL of you will appreciate it’s retro-gaming goodness. The graphics are subpar, the sounds are perhaps two-channel and certainly not in stereo sound.Ahh…but for a good, classic game of Space Invaders or Asteroids, the system cannot be beat. The joysticks are comfortable and the BEST thing about it is it’s ONE button to use, not 6, not 16…simply ONE to set the action. THIS is an arcade machine, folks. It was the first system to produce arcade equivalents.For all you old-timers, you can collect for the system today fairly cheaply. For you younglings, this might not be graphically up to your personal challenge, but a good game of Phoenix or Ms. Pac-Man will have you shooting for those high scores.Fun for all, even in today’s market.
