Default anyone remember atari?


I wonder if anyone knows of places that still sell used ones.
It used to be my favorite console game! Pac-man. Yes, those were the good ol' days.

I used to have an atari. Used to love it, i vaguely remember some of the games, but not particularly well.

I really want to get my hands on one and relive those good ol' days!

nice!
my parents still have one that works, air sea battle, asteroids, carnival, missle command, centipede all classics, it may be a little rough on graphics, but its still a lot of fun to play whenever i get home.

How can someone forget atari.It was the console that revolutionize everything.There will be no PS3 or Xbox360 without Atari.
I also love Pacman.Until now ofcourse.Once in a while Im still playing Pacman.
One of my alltime favorite games.

I used to have an Atari, and a C64 and an Amiga 600 and a Spectrum ZX.
Ahh listening to tapes loading for 20 minutes before crashing right at the end for no reason.....those were the days!
I still play pong with my browser...and I found a site that still have downloadable copies of Heroquest and Flashback....oh and I have loads of Lesuire Suit Larry games on floppy....might have to dig those out....

Atari according to me was a cool company (except I think they didn't give a lot of credit to the programers), and I've played a few of their games on my teacher's console when he brought it to school to show us about the history of the gaming industry (I think he had them since high school or something), but too bad I don't own one I believe if it wasn't for Atari, we wouldn't have easter eggs (showing the names of who developed the things) as well...

I was the odd kid in my neighbourhood. When everyone got an Atari, my parents bought my Magnavox Odessy 2. I liked it, at least my friends and I had some variety when gaming. The snobby kids had Intellivision.

Default Check out the Atari Flashback 2!


http://www.atari.com/us/games/atari_flashback2/7800

Your wish is granted!!! And it has 40 of the original 80s games built in!!!
And all that for 30 clams!

My local Walmart stocks it, so be sure to pass by one if your itching to play...

I can still remember when PacMan came out... I figured out a way to do it without getting killed and I was going for the world record but after 16 hours of continuous play, I just had to stop.

Back then, there was no pause button...
