Atari 2600 Halo Bundle

[Atari 2600 Halo Bundle]

OK, last one for a while. I figured I'd throw E.T. some love, since next year is the 30th anniversary of the movie.

Edit: Just realized I didn't fix the color of spine on game box on the front of bundle box in first image. Oops.

 

This one is my personal favorite.

[How do you organize your 2600 Collection?]

From best to worst. Activision, Imagic, and M-Network games separated into their own groups.

 

Mystique/Playaround games stored in a dirty shoe box hidden under my bed.

Time of your life man. Time of your life.

[Atari 2600 Halo Bundle]

Completely awesome. I'll take two.

[dead island]

I played this game at E3 and the swaying camera made me want to hurl. But then I didn't hurl, so everything was ok.

 

I'm still intrigued by this game. Hopefully we'll get a demo and I can give it a second shot.

All of my money.

 

Just take it now.

[Official Press Release for Flashback 3]

Official Press Release for Flashback 3

 

Via Blaze UK.

 

The Official UK Price = £50. So I guess this means the $60 price being quoted by US retailers is correct. There is also a final list for all the games included on the FB3.

Well, I guess this finally proves the device is real.

[1UP's Top 10 Worst Consoles]

Consoles are like women. Each one is beautiful in its own way.

 

1up.com you are too negative.

[Compact 5200 System]

New user, comes out of nowhere, creates something totally amazing.

 

I love this place.

[Atari Jaguar Console Video Review + Games]

Great review! Even though I've owned the Jaguar for years, I always enjoy hearing people talk about one my favorite underdog consoles.

[AtariAge 3.2 Forum Preview Video]

Looking good!

[What Plug and Play games do you own?]

Activision 10 in 1 black

Activision yellow

 

Is there any difference between the two aside from the color? I didn't know there was a color variant until now. I only saw the black model at my local K-mart.

Anyway I own dozens of P&P systems.

[Flashback 3 at E3? Is it real?]

I sent my email. I was ready to buy this thing with SD support, but without it no thanks.

 

Totally agree.

 

With SD support this thing would have been a slam dunk. I don't even think the manufacturers realize how many sales they lost by not including this feature.

[Arcade Nano Atari]

Design wise its identical to the Sega nano keychains which are already on the market.

[Is Kasumi Ninja the Biggest Mortal Kombat Rip Off?]

Every year my friends and I get together for a 3 day, retro gaming marathon. We do lots of competitions. The winners get prizes, the loser is forced to wear the "Kasumi Ninja headband of shame."

[It’s okay to be you.]

I was actually pretty surprised to see this topic. No one has ever given me crap for being a retro enthusiast. In fact, where I come from its quite the contrary. You have all these hipsters in my area collecting Atari now. These people are like "screw xbox and nintendo, we'll buy a 2600 instead. Its like a piece of retro digital art!"

 

And then when you go over to their homes its displayed in the living room like a piece of art (which it is). Usually its hooked up to an old school, wooden cabinet TV. Seriously, the hipsters and the art crowd in my city really love Atari. And it seems like retro is about to jump off in a very big way.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[5200 Redemption *MUST* be re-issued!]

For those of you who still want a redemption adapter might I suggest a PC controller adapter instead?

 

It doesn't look like the 5200 Redemption will ever see the light of day again, even though there is a ton of built up demand. So I settled for the next best thing. I bought a 15 Pin PC controller adapter from a user on this forum. Let me just say this, ITS AMAZING! I'm using a standard "original playstation" style control pad (no analog sticks). Its perfect for many games, including Pitfall and Pac-Man. I feel these two games suffer the most when using the standard 5200 pad, playing with this adapter is like night and day.

 

The whole investment cost me around $20. It was the best money I have ever spent on my 5200 collection.
