This Is Pretty Cool

This is pretty cool, but maybe olny if you are old enough

 

Yep I'm old enough. Got my ATARI when i was 14. Ahhh the good old days LOL.
I remember when my son was 10, i dragged it out of the cupboard and fired it up, He looked at me and said are you serious, this looks like crap.
No respect.

 

Still have my original 2600 (yes it works, plus a spare) and 100+ games. ;-)

 

I setup our commodore 64 a while back and played some games. Pittfall and lode runner were my favorites back than. Kids have it easy these days, checkpoints and saves have made them soft lol

 

it can't be true, wait, it is ?

Good job, that's why I posted that one. I actually have like 5 copies but not from the landfill. ;-)

 

One game I used to play a lot on the 2600 was Star Raiders with the additional video touch pad
Found a picture of it here

Among other games... yes Pitfall was good I remember passing that threshold score, was it 100,000 points? Sending a photo of the score to the publisher and received something back, I think it was a badge of some sort. I think it was something like this
