Which Atari systems do you own?

[Rhindle The Red]

Oooh! Multiple answers!

 

Click all that apply. Any version of each system qualifies. Only caveat: must be Atari branded. No Sears Telegames or Coleco Geminis.

[nathanallan]

whoowee, I got a bunch. 2600, 7800, 2600Jr (new acquisition), 800XL, 520ST, two 520STFMs, 1040STFM. Well, it's a bunch to me.

[Lemmi]

these are the ones i didnt check:

Atari 16 or 32-Bit Computer (ST/Falcon)

Atari 5200 - (i had at one time)

Atari PC Compatible (Portfolio, desktops)

 

[Emehr]

2600, 5200, 7800 and a Lynx II. I'd pick up a Jag if I were to see one at a yard sale for cheap. Otherwise...no interest in that one.

[vdub_bobby]

2600 and 130XE. Plus a Sears-branded 2600, the Video Arcade II or somesuch.

[Rogmeister]

If the question had been "Which Atari systems have you owned?", I would've named all but the PC-compatible ones. I currently own the 2600, 5200, Lynx and Jaguar...but I have also owned at one time or another the 7800, Atari 400 and XL computer and the ST computer.

[Lucky Man]

No Sears Telegames...

That doesn't seem right considering Atari manufactured those units. All of my childhood memories of playing Atari were on a Sears Telegames console.

[ApolloBoy]

I've got 3 2600s (a Heavy Sixer, 4-switch and Jr), a 4-port 5200, 7800, Lynx II, 800XL and a Jag.

[AtariMan1976]

Right now, all i have as far as Atari is 3 2600's one which is in original box, my boxed 4 port 5200 and my 800XL. I'm looking to buy a 7800 and a Jag....maybe even a lynx.

[homerwannabee]

I noticed that the percentages are off and misleading. It really should be for instance with the Atari 2600 16/18 for a total of 88.8%.

[+remowilliams]

Guess I just squeaked in under "all" with the Portfolio.

 

What's funnier would be the total count of systems is far greater than the 8 choices listed (2 STs, a Falcon, three Lynxes, 2 Jags, etc.)

[Gregory DG]

Dang it. I've got them all but the PC computers... I wouldn't mind having a Portfolio or an Atari PC...

[Crazy Climber]

Lynx and 2600, I also have a nice 5200 with a multicart that has been converted to A/V but it's not really my bag so I think I'm going to trade/sell it *shameless plug*

[LYNXGUY]

Atari 8-Bit Computer 800 and an 800XL

 

I wonder why the ST computers were not on that list ???

[Rybags]

1 1040ST/FM (given to me as I'd sold the one I had from new), Megafile 20

1 800XL from new, 2 standard 1050s.

1 130XE ~ 5 yrs ago, 1 XEGS ~ 1 yr ago

1 7800 ~ 3 months ago

 

About 5 2600 carts, 9 8-bit carts.

My two systems are both Atari 2600's:

 

Atari 2600 4 switcher woodgrain model

Atari 2600 6 "light" switcher woodgrain model

 

(Atari Flashback 2 count?? Well, I'll sorta throw it in here)

[+Stephen]

Hmm - in rough chronological order :

 

GAME SYSTEMS

---------------

Touch Me

Super Pong

Stunt Cycle

Atari Video Music (the pride & joy of my collection)

Atari Video Pinball (2 of the beige models)

2600 (heavy sixer, light sixer, and a Jr.)

5200 (2 port and 4 port)

7800

Lynx II

Jaguar + CD (2 of each)

 

COMPUTERS

----------------

400 (48K upgrade)

800 (32K and 48K)

600XL (external 64K)

800XL (2 - one has BASIC C)

1200XL (stock for the moment)

130XE NTSC (320KB, keyboard upgrade, super-video 2.1, 32-in-1 OS)

130XE PAL

520 STfm (stock)

1040 STf (stock)

 

I think that's it - not including all sorts of game controllers, and computer peripherals. Everything works, but unfortunately, most of it lives in boxes. My 130XE is on at least once a day though.

[jaybird3rd]

For me, it's just about everything except a 5200: several 2600 consoles, more than half a dozen 8-bit computers, a couple of ST computers, a Portfolio and a PC-4, a Jag and JagCD, three 7800s, a Lynx II, a Video Pinball dedicated console, and a Pong coin-op.

[AussieAtari]

I didn't check Jag, PC compatible and 5200, I have no intention of getting another PC but am gagging to find a Jag and a 5200.

 

I agree with Remo, a "how many of each" poll would be fun, not just for Atari systems either.

[jboypacman]

I got a Atari 2600,5200,and 7800.

[Starhopper]

Though my first system was a telegames light sixer, the centerpiece of my collection is a Sunnyvale

 

I have a 7800 in our room with a wye cable for quick use of the paddles (my wife has an unnatural addiction to Super Breakout)

 

I admitted to having a Jag in the loosest sense, as I have only played AVP and Pitfall on it. When the gameroom is fully constructed, it will have a place of honor

[Atari~e]

I have 3 Atari 2600's; 1 woodgrain 4 switch, 1 woodgrain 6 switch, & a jr. I also have a Atari 5200 with 2 controller ports, 2 Atari 7800's, an XE PC game system, & finally a Lynx II. My favorite is my Atari 4 switch that I bought off Ebay in Dec. of 2000. That's 6 yrs. & 5 months ago. That was my very first Atari 2600 system. I was 28 yrs. old when I had my first Atari 2600 VCS system. I vaguely remember playing it at friends' houses as a kid but was never interested in having one at 9 or 10 yrs. old. I always thought it was too expensive for my parents to buy. I shared a NES with my sister & brother but it was taken away & put in the attick because we would fight over taking turns with it. I did'nt have my very own video game system until I was 17 yrs. old & it was a Nintendo Game Boy handheld system. I bought my fist home console system when I was 19 yrs. old. I was kind of deprived of video games in the early childhood years because it was kind of new when I was young. I use to play Ms. Pac-Man at Safeway in Davis, Ca. when I was 9 & 10 yrs. old. I aslo use to go to arcades in Santa Cruse, Ca. By the way, my first home console system was a Super Nintendo that I got when I was 19 yrs. old :0)...
