    How many of you remember Atari 2600?

    I just bought one off of Ebay. What was your favorite game?

    Adventure, Jungle Hunt, Ms-Pac Man were some of my favorites

    This is a pretty cool Atari site with roms and info:

              Spiderman, or E.T.. what was the one where you were either a helicopter and a tank and you battled another person? Was it called just "Tank" ?

                  I had E.T. Are you thinking of Combat?

                          Ah ya beat me to it.. yep that was it! As far as ET is concerned, I don't know if the cartridge was bad or what, but it always errored after about 2 minutes.. I was real young when I had it though, and loved to pop it in almost daily to see if maybe it would work lol

                                          Must have been the cartridge. Mine worked fine. I was pretty young then too.

                                                  I picked up a Namco Museum for my Sony PSP so I could play some of the old games. I had an Atari 2600, and my friend had an Intellivision.

                                                      I had one of those too, after Atari. I should buy one sometime for a collectible. I wish I hadn't given away all my Atari and NES stuff.

                                                          Both were before my time ;) NES was released in the US the year I was born, but by the time I was 5 or so my dad had pulled out his old Atari for me. Got NES 5 years later, and to this day still play Super Mario Brothers 1 & 3 or Contra

I think the IIc might have had more ram too(I think it was 128k). Ha, I remember downloading porn via a modem(the graphics sucked) and racking up big long distance charges on it lol. So, I had to sell it then There seemed to be a lack of games for it though compared to Commodore 64. I had Might and Magic 3, Wizardry, and like the 1st version of John Madden Football on it.

I think it was 249 because I remember it was priced high enough that I didn't even ask for it.

Lol those 20 minutes loading times were really annoying. After that I got Amiga 600 on christmas, that was best game system I would think about now and of course because I was young in those times

                                                                                                                                                              Maybe I will buy again Amiga 600 and refresh some memories from the childhood.
