PAC-MAN

Tasked with eating all wafers in the maze while avoiding the four ghosts to proceed to the next level, Pac-Man will continuously keep you engaged and chasing that sweet high score.

What can be said that hasn’t been said already and repeated 1000 times? The Atari 2600 defines classic gaming, bringing the classic arcade to the living room. Even today, the console itself looks like it belongs even on modern entertainment systems with it’s retro wood grain paneling. The durability of the Atari 2600 is unbelievable, working consoles are hardly rare and are sold at decent prices. The joysticks are built for longevity and have the same fluid motion controls as they did in the 80’s. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY 2ND HAND CONTROLLER PEDDLERS! They are poorly made atrocities by comparison to the original article. The games also seem to stand the test of time. I have an ever growing library of 36 games at present, some ordered online, some bought at flea markets and local retro stores. Not once have I encountered an inoperable game (not to say they don’t exist, but chances are good that a cartridge in good condition is very likely to work). With over 700 games to collect, and home brews being made to this very day, the Atari 2600 is a collector’s dream. Five Stars, extreme satisfaction.

This Atari 2600 is in awesome condition!!! It was also shipped very quickly. Everything was packaged nicely and very clean. Almost brand new. They also included a game with the console which was great. Luckily my guy friend had heard of the game (Yars Revenge) and showed me how to play it. It is now more fun to play than qbert and frogger. If you’re looking for old school video game stuff this shop will probably have it.
