Was not pleased with the shipping experience and reached out to the shop as well sent pictures to show them what it looked like once it arrived here. As I do not have the material to hook up to my tv I had to wait till my daughter arrived to see if it actually worked. In the end my tv is not compatable with the Atari 2600 but my other daughters tv is and it worked perfectly.

This is a great system to get. These systems have been around for awhile and are still fun today. There are many versions of this system like the heavy sixer, Sears heavy sixer, light sixer, Sears light sixer, the 4 switch, the Sears 4 switch, the darth vader black 4 switcher, 2600 jr., and the Coleco gemini. There are also ways to play games for this system on other system like the 5200, 7800, and colecovision. The older ones have a built in rf cable so you will have to have a manual switch-box or something else. Most of the games are very cheap and games like pac-man are dirt cheap. Try to get a system with a lot of games so you do not have to get them seperately and you will pay less for shiping. Besides Atari joysticks and paddles other controllers will work too like the Sega Genesis controller or Colecovision controller. They work well and have many fun games like Pitfall!, Video Olympics, Defender, Missile Comand, Asteroids, Berzerk, Spiderman, Q-bert, Pitfall 2 lost caverns, Pole Postion, and so many more. If you want to relive moments from your childhood or want to experiance your parents joy then buy an Atari 2600 VCS and get ready to travel back to 1977 and later. Have fun!

I loved it it, came faster than i expected and everything the shop said in his description was true, Before I became loyal to the Playstation Family, I was loyal to the Atari Family and now i have both.

I would recommend the Atari 2600 because,1. There are so many games they made for this system to be exact they made 516(not including homebrews, which are games made by fans). Most of the games are affordable and easy to find all you have to do is either buy from the internet, buy from a local non chain video game store(Gamestop does not sell old games), or go to flea markets/conventions. While there are some duds like, (E.T Firefly Starship 3-D Tic Tac Toe) , you will find games that are truly fun like, (Asteroids, Defender, Pac-Man Jr., Phoenix, Beamrider, Yars Revenge, Pitfall-Pitfall 2, Galaxian, Adventure, Breakout-Super Breakout, Warlords, and many more.)2. While the Atari 2600 does not have 500GB of data, come with internet connection, or have 128bit graphics this thing really does show the difference between vintage and outdated. Vintage for example is like a 1973 Gibson Les Paul, while it is old technology it is still a amazing instrument. Outdated for example is like a slide rule, which is old technology, and you can buy a calculator cheaper. I think the Atari 2600 is vintage because, it is still a fun video game system, and does its job passing time.3. Comes in many different styles. The Atari 2600 is one of the few systems that comes in many different styles, colors, weights, and countries. For example the Atari 2600 comes in, 6 switch Tele-games, 4 switch Tele-Games, Tele-game Heavy Sixer(original model), 6 switch Woodgrain, 4 switch Woodgrain, Woodgrain Heavy Si.
