So, I have an Atari system in the basement... actually, I have two, whatever that's about...
The sad part? I have a PS2 and a Game Cube and a GBA SP... yet I still play the Atari. I love playing all the goofy games with the funky sound clips... and I hate always falling off the cliff in Indiana Jones...
Hmmm...
Any of you have the same, well, not problem, but situation as I do?
Almost. I still have my original NES, my Genesis, an original gameboy and a Gameboy pocket, as well as my Game Gear.
Most of them are currently under my bed, and dont see much play, but occasionally I bust one out and have a blast reliving old memories.
I still have (and use) my Commodore 64.
SiD chip for the WIN. So many games of Gianna Sisters...
I really want both a Commodore 64 and an Atari 2600........I even bought a few Atari games recently, but haven't found a working system yet. I really love classic video games, especially my Sega Mastersystem. I think I'm gonna go looking for both systems this weekend. I'm kinda excited, because I bought PacMan, Ms PacMan, Frogger, and River Raid, so I really need a system.
What are some good games for the Commodore 64??? I really liked Spy vs Spy when I was younger.
Atari brought me many hours of Frogger as a child.

Supremacy, Last Ninja 2, Populous, The Great Gianna Sisters, Attack of the Mutant Camels.
All you'll ever need.
I would like to play my Atari, but I can never seem to get the picture right. When I do though, I play "Freeway".
I own an Atari 400, but unfortunately my dad never got around to buying any games for it, so I'm stuck with a few (but still classic) games. I have Pacman, Missile Command and Basic. It did come with a tape storage device, but I could never get it to work. I haven't played it in years, but I used to have endless fun when I was a kid (and the most advanced games was Zoombinies, and I wanted some actual action).
y'know I still had a working atari up until about 2 years ago when I gave it to my best friend James when he moved to California. I talk to him every once in a while. Although I managed to keep a few games by accident like Donkey Kong/Mario. Haha I wonder what thats worth.
Yup still cot a Speccy with tape deck and still love it. though I am considering running an emulator cos me tape deck messin up what a t**t.
"Football" >>>> Madden :)
Atari 2600 was my first experience with gaming.
It was all about Space Invaders, Pit-fall, The Smurf's, Vanguard, and Maze Craze!
I Just recently I found out about gems like 'Keystone Kapers' and 'Private Eye' too.
And much love to "HSW".
Heaven yeah! I have two Atari's; one doesn't work due to the fried microprocessor. I also have (regretably), Intellivision, Atari plug 'n play, Flashback, NES, SNES, and a great PS2. I'll only play my Atari. I love Vanguard and Dig Dug, my favorite single game. I don't need my Atari Joystick and NES. Do you want to buy them?
Yea, i got an atari a while back for $30, it didnt work real well and was all dusty. That weekend my parents brought home an atari with 2 joysticks, 2 paddles, original box, and worked perfectly...they got it for $5.
And he gave the crappy one to me. I still play it. I got all the classics... except the most classicy classic to ever be a classic. Pong. I'm trying to get it before EvilDead does. Just can't seem to find it.
Anyway, I got Asteriods, Mrs. Pacman, Pacman, Pitfall, Warlords<--(Best game ever). Some of them are Evil Deads but he's never getting them back. Anyway, trying to get some more but most of the time when I find Atari games I already have them, don't want them, or there sports games. Why would I buy a football atari game?
...hey..dude, Atari is a sport game, lol. the cartrage is accualy called Pong Sports. thats funny.
Man, I used to play the Atari a lot as a kid.
I remember this retarded-*** game called 'sneak and peek'... it was a multiplayer hide and seek game. You had, like, three rooms to hide in. The person you were playing with had to close their eyes while you hid.
