Atari 2600 is jus great and nostalgic system ever made for me and my days. i grew up in early 80's era and that was the main system i owned and played. til Nintendo came along then my mom made me throw out my Atari 2600 and at least 25 games. but see, i was a youngen then and that system wasn't as stunning or streaming with action as Nintendo was. cuz when your young and when new and better things come along, you're like, wicked, i like this better. and kick aside what was there before longer.
so, not til 3 years ago i became nostalgic about Atari 2600 and how i wish i could find one and play it like i did back in the old days. when 2-4 bits of gaming technology was what it was all about. couple moves up and down, left, right; a button press here. remembering all those classic games i used to play on a Saturday morning almos all afternoon. it was so very entertaining back then. so, i searched high and low in my area for an original, STILL WORKING, Atari 2600 system. but so as it seems, i found some but without controllers, without cables, without all those adapters needed and so on. good cheap prices for the system. some for 5-10 dollars. so, i managed to save up 60 dollars and was told i should check out E-bay for Atari systems. and of course they had a wide array of what i wanted. so after a 3 long year wait for a perfect working order system, i managed to win a classic system with 12 games. also i am bidding on some rare games that i want to own for their nostalgic purposes of owning them. titles such as Gremlins, Master of the Universe, Ghostbusters, and all those other things of the 80's i dug so much.
but anyway, thankx to E-bay and some honest and good ppl that still own the system and keepin hope alive all across this country and further for those who want to reinvent the nostalgia. so that's a bit of my story. how i was was wicked glad that i finally came across and got an Atari back in my hands once and for all.
