Atarikid96 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 What's your favorite 2600 model? Mine would be a tie between the Vader model and the Jr. They are both so sleek and awesome looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 4-switch woodgrain because it's the most common model that is what I use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjameslv Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 As much as i love my heavy sixer, the vader is definitely my favorite! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have all the console variations for the 2600 but this is a no brainer. Heavy Sixer for the win!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain King Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I like the look of the Vader, but the color and picture on my six switch is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I like the look of the Vader, but the color and picture on my six switch is so much better. There is a resistor mod to fix that on the four switch models... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Anything with six switches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Light sixer. It's what I grew up with. Heavy sixers look deformed and light sixers look mutilated. Juniors are just cheap knockoffs. Don't get me started on those bastard 7800s...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have a soft spot for the 4-switch woody, since that was my first Atari, and I have a soft spot for the heavy sixer, since that was the first Atari. But I think my favorite design has to be the Vader. It's a perfectly '80s design without any of the decade's more embarrassing styles.

spacecadet Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sears heavy sixer. 2600 has to have six switches. It looks like they forgot something on the four switch models. Jr. is pretty cool too, and Sears Video Arcade II isn't bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Well, some I have never had or likely WILL have so going by what I have in order of preference - 4 Switch Woody / VADER MODEL (Love Woodgrain but there is something about that black model) / Sears Video Arcade II. For models I do not have well of course Original Heavy Sixer followed by the Sears Heavy than 4 Switch. It is funny because I distinctly recall back in the day if you had a SEARS version as opposed to a Atari Labelled model you were an outcast of sorts Today I LOVE the SEARS variants of Atari and Intellivision consoles!

+sramirez2008 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Its the Heavy for me. I'm a sucker for those curves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I go with the Jr. I just like the sleekness of the design and the fact that it matches the style of the 5200 and 7800 consoles. They look like a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like a family. Except the 5200 was an order of magnitude larger than the 2600 Jr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonie Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Any love for the prototype? Thats a Beast! Never seen that. Thanks for sharing it. I have my original Heavy Sixer, but I kinda like the Vader. Anyone ever made a Vader out of a light sixer? That would be ideal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The very first Atari I ever laid eyes on (and played) was my uncle's Sears Heavy Sixer. The first Atari I ever owned was the Atari Heavy Sixer, so it's a tie between those 2 for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
