Atari 2600 prototype console?

Pics or scan?

You know, instead of being assholes, someone could have offered to have Cody take regular film pictures and send them through the mail. Matter of fact, I'll do just that. If Cody is willing to send me some prints, I'll scan them and upload them.

There is no asshole comments here at all. The guy is full of shit in all regards. Just look at any of he other posts for confirmation.

Nobody here has made any undeserved personal attacks toward Codysgames. He's earned any sarcasm -- apparently you haven't seen the other thread (2600 Heavy-sixer with built-in speakers...) in which he goes on about this supposedly unique console. Post #7 above is somewhat cryptic when taken only in context of this thread, but if you read the other one you'll see that it looks like a misplaced response. If you view all of his posts, you'll notice that #10 in this thread is his second-to-last, from about 2 weeks ago. I think he's too embarrassed to admit his error and has either left AA or created another identity.

DAMN!!! Now who's going to price my Atari games?

[Cheese007]

Cody left? Man, I wish we could have seen him attempt (and fail) to defend himself.

[CPUWIZ]

Cody left?

 

Mr. Franzman is making an assumption and we all know how that usually ends.

Now if I could just get my 7800 to dispense cold beer

 

THAT would be a mod

It would be easier to use a 5200.

Oh, come on. EVERY 2600 ever made has vents in the top, including 4-switchers. My older brother thought they were speaker holes when he first saw them, but I told him they were probably just heat vents or something. Well, guess who was right .

Was it a cost reason why atari didn't go with the built in speaker approach

 

Perhaps atari could have done 2 versions...speaker and non speaker (remembering that warners had deep pockets at the time)

[Osbo]

wow zombie thread... I totally forgot about the A2600 with the speakers...

[Lord Helmet]

I kinda miss Cody. His threads were hilarious.

[potatohead]

Somebody should just put little speakers in one, with an amp and a switch.

 

Hmmm... Thinking about doing mine. That would be a cool mod actually.

He might still be around, he had a few different user names.

No, but you can get banned for not listening to moderators or admins. Especially if it happens multiple times.

I was hoping he found a camera by now

[Animan]

Well, My Game Boy has a speaker in it.

 

Well, all forums have there share of idiots. I wonder if Codygames looks like his avatar.

Originally the Atari 2600 was going to have similar design features to the dedicated consoles (Pong, Super Pong, Stunt Cycle...etc.) and was original planned to have speakers incorporated into the design, Douglas Hardy, one of the Atari 2600 Industrial designers incorporated the speaker openings into the 1977 design.

 

However the final production design brought the audio out through the TV instead and never used any form of internal speakers, there was never a built production system that had accommodations on the PCB for internal speakers and no units were ever made - anyone claiming to have such has either rigged up their own mod/hack or is flat out fibbing.
