Looks and works like new! The adaptor to avoid a switchbox/twin-lead was a nice touch. There’s nothing like original Atari joysticks, and that’s what came. Great package.

I love my PS2 and XBox and much as anybody, but the Atari 2600 is just as-sometimes even more fun. The games are short and action-packed so that you get as much out of them in a three minute session as you would with an hour session. Plus, most of them are “pick up and play” meaning you don’t have to study a gigantic instruction booklet in order to grasp them or learn the any complicated plots. Here are some of my favorites that I highly recommend playing: Q*Bert Centipede Millipede Frogger Spider Fighter Tapper Kaboom! That is, of course, besides the classics like Space Invaders and Asteroids. There were also some “adult oriented” Atari 2600 games released that you might find amusing or just plain offensive: Beat ‘Em And Eat ‘Em/Philly Flasher Custer’s Revenge Burning Desire/Jungle Fever Cathouse Blues X-Man Lady In Wading Bachelor Party/Bacherlorette Party Some of the rarest and most highly desired 2600 games are: Cubicolor Swordquest Waterworld Crazy Climber Quadron Q*Bert’s Qubes Chase The Chuckwagon WORD OF WARNING: NEVER remove a game without turning off the power. I accidently removed my copy of Q*Bert before switching the power off and it broke the difficulty switch and the game cartridge. The game cartridge is now “frozen” and random events are always the same.

I’am very thrilled to have this item again. I never got to play my brothers game system growing up. This one i purchased for me and the family is terrific. We have no problems with it and it’s been tons of fun. It was certainly worth the buy! I hope we have it for a long time to come.

I had problems with it not working but I contacted him and all that was wrong was the power adapter and he sent me a new one ASP. Great working with this gentleman. It works awesome now. Thank you so much!

I was so excited to receive my Atari 2600. Of course it is used so it doesn’t work perfectly. The game cartridges sometimes get stuck when putting them in. However, all the games play well, and that’s pretty much all I can ask for. I still have several original games from the 80s so I was stoked!

The Atari 2600 was realessed in 1977, and was very popluar at the time. It had tons of great games (like Cosmic Ark and Missle Command) made by several companies.Console : The console is very big. It has a thing on the top with the switches and cartridge slot. On the lower top of it, it has lots of ridges, almost like a mini table. At the front of it, it has plastic wood and the Atari logo.Joystick : The joystick is not a bad for a controller. It’s used for games like Pac-Man and Combat.Paddles : Awesome knobs. There used for games like PONG and Warlords.AC adapter : Good, not much to say.RF Cable : Good, supports great video quality.Overall : Overall it’s a great console. It may not be as good as the NES or Sega Genesis, but its worth it !
