well i talked it over with my brother tonight, and he actually remembered what the controllers looked like. so it turns out what we had was a 5200, and the memories of the 2600 actually came from grandma having one. at least my memories of the games themselves were intact. :-)

wow... i didn't realize there was so much to this. i left a message with my brother... so hopefully his memery will help shed some light on my situation.

well it definately wasn't amidar... and after looking at lots of screenshots i'm about 97% sure we had a 2600...

har har :-/ My memory must have really gone then.

My brother and I had an old [what I think was] a 2600 many, many years ago, which my parents eventually sold at a garage sale, as I'm sure is the case with many of these things. Anyway, I've been feeling nostalgic and wanting to buy a 2600, and I know my memory isn't too good sometimes so I've been looking at box art and screenshots to see what sparks my memory to make sure I didn't buy the wrong thing. I've decided what we had was definately a 2600, but I also distinctly remember playing Qix on that system. Now... have I just completely flipped, or could it have been called something else? I can't seem to find info on a Qix for the 2600. Please help me become sane again.
