Any body got an Atari 2600 and some games? Talk to me, this is for the 70's mancave.

    Don't forget Pong, Calecovision, and Intellivision.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I actually have the 2600 and 7200. I have to dig them out and see if they still work. If they do, they are yours. If they don't and you just want them as nostalgic decorations, they're yours!

    That would be great, I appreciate it. I'll be out of town all next week, so lets hold off until I return. Absolutely no hurry Shawn, I haven't even started the room yet. I'll PM my info, and will definitely pay you shipping and then some.

    My mom threw my 2600 away at some point when she did a spring cleaning about 18+ years ago. I was pissed. Dang man, I was hanging on to that (nostalgic reasons). :(

    Those were much simpler times. :rolleyes:

    It's a new atari that looks like the original, but it already has original atari games stored on it.

    I have one of those. I sold my Atari 2600 a few years ago in a garage sale and have regretted it ever since. My daughter bought me the Flashback for Christmas a couple of years ago. It's the next best thing!

    Because of that remorse I have held on to my Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Playstation, Playstation 2 and all of the various games. Every now and then I'll drag one out and hook it up for a couple of hours. Good times!

    I purchased mine @ Target for $17.00 last X'mas. As a kid, I didn't get a Atari or any other video game. :eek::(:mad:

    Are you sure? I don't think the Atari 2600 was build since 1985 or so. :rolleyes:

    I got a Atari in 1979. It was released in 1977.
