blainelocklair Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 https://charleston.craigslist.org/vgm/6761728877.html Seems like a unique travel case / storage case for the 2600. Can't say I've ever seen one before like this with the Atari logo molded in. Neat. Not my for sale ad, just happened to be in my local area. If only I needed a 2600... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I would go grab it. You'll never see another one again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 They are pretty common, but it is hard to find a boxed one. I have an actual unusual carrying case, I know nothing about it. I think I probably posted a pic in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I have the same case, without a box. They pop up from time to time and eBay. Like CPUWIZ said, they are hard to find with a box. http://www.atariage.com/forums/gallery_ips/gallery/album_1475/gallery_21941_1475_7121.jpg http://www.atariage.com/forums/gallery_ips/gallery/album_1475/gallery_21941_1475_31072.jpg Edited December 1, 2018 by sramirez2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 This one isn't boxed, but still pretty cool. I am so often amazed that after playing these things since the days of home Pong consoles and black & white rabbit ear TVs that I see stuff like this I've never seen before. I guess everyone's journey through the gaming culture is unique. That just adds to the fun. If we all knew exactly the same things, we'd never grow. How did we all find this stuff before the internet? Yard sales, attics, and abandoned storage sheds, plus the occasional thrift store find for me. One of my colleagues used to tell me, "Blaine, everything old is new again." He was right. He told me lots of other smart things, but they're for another thread.

Supergun Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I have an actual unusual carrying case, I know nothing about it. I think I probably posted a pic in the past. Interesting. I have two as well. The standard Atari one, which I have had since I was a child. And another unusual one as well, which I picked up later in life. Perhaps we have the same one?

It is pretty unique, as it comes apart completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I cannot confirm if it was a rental case. In fact, I was never aware of any rental stores ever renting a 2600 (or any of the older consoles back in the day) let alone if they did so through the use of any cases back then. What I was saying “yes” to in my post, was that my unit was the same as the one pictured, not “yes” it was a rental case. I have no idea what it was used for.

Atari_Bill Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Ok gotcha. ? The 2600 was rented out BITD. My in-laws owned a video store for over 30 years and they used to rent them early on. They can’t recall however what they stored the rentals in. They were long gone by the time I met my wife. All I ended up with were multiple Sega Genesis rental units in cases.

Supergun Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 A bunch of rental cases turned up & are still bought & sold today on the market that originated from the Blockbuster days. But that era was really the 90’s and the rental cases I have from them are for the Jaguar & Virtual Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
