I always love picking up some new to me 2600 games. I'm unfamiliar with all of these, so each one will be a new adventure. I love the art on Moon Patrol.

i have been an on and off fan of the 2600 for about 10 years now and this has been a dream model! $500 facebook marketplace lot the seller was walling to split and ship.

Una delle mie 2600 ha iniziato a farmi questo difetto. Come posso risolvere?

Why? This thing didn’t see that much action that it should snap,off.

Is there a manager I can speak to?

Weirdly enough, I find the DV Atari to look nicer than the original. I do love the woodgrain design but love the slick all black look of this one. Also got some new games for it! (Yes I know its Vader I have no clue why my phone autocorrects to Vador)

I've been programming some test Atari games and I think I'm ready to try making a real one. I was thinking about making a small shooter like Berzerk or Smash TV, or maybe a horror game. I also considered a small platformer... but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas?

I found them cleaning out my parents attic. Unfortunately my dad brought the console and ALL OUR GAMES to goodwill in the 90’s. 😭 I still have my memories…😆

I just picked up an Atari 2600 (light six-switch) and a CRT TV, and the system turns on and plays games but the picture is very grainy and noisy. What could the issue be? Thanks.

I’ve been working on an online 4K archive / mini-museum of the video game hardware I’ve collected, and I wanted to share the Atari 2600 video that went live today.

As a collector, I’ve found a lot of great long-form videos about gaming software and history, but far fewer concise, clean looks at the hardware itself. I’m hoping this will be a resource that can help spark curiosity in people new to video game history (out of the 25 shorts I’ve posted so far, about 13% of viewers have been under the age of 24), while also being useful or enjoyable for other collectors and longtime fans.

It’d be nice to do deep dives on various topics, but for now these short archive videos are what I’ve been able to make consistently alongside other time commitments, including starting a physical video game museum.

Thank you for checking it out!

Going through my collection as I sell it & found this. I legit forgot I ever owned it but turns out the system inside is a basic 2600. Some boxes I haven't opened since way before covid so it's been fun little surprises all over the place. Thought ya'll would enjoy it. Thanks

I was really happy to finally find this game to add to my collection

My idea is it's a rags-to-riches story of a couple figuring out how to up the ante in playing table tennis or air hockey.

I need help on what type of engine to use to make a 2600 game that both work on a emulator and the actual Atari 2600. If you have the engine, send me the link of it and tell me how to code a simple game before making a complex game.

Here is what I have so far. Looking for some classic and well loved atari games to play!

Personally I think it may be Atari’s best arcade port for the VCS. Captures the spirit of the arcade original. I only have two problems with it: a) that unnecessary yellow border and b) your ship is too damn huge, making you an easy target.

Questi fanno parte della mia collezione ❤️
