I am so lucky to live so close to this masterpiece. It is truly amazing!

Thanks for your help! I appreciate the info, and will probably track one down.

So even if I get one of the rollerballs available, I won't be able to use it with Centipede? Why would anyone purchase it, then? I'm slightly confused!

Hi everyone! Quick question - at the risk of sounding very dumb - do they make rollerball controllers for the 2600??? Thanks to moycon, I am now once again the proud owner of a 2600 Darth Vadar! Yes, I am a happy little girl. One of my favs was always Centipede, and I could kick some serious butt on it! But with just the joystick, and not the rollerball as on the arcade game, I stink! Do they make a rollerball controller?

Wow, everyone so far has been so helpful, especially Moycon - thank you so much! I'll definitely continue to check out this forum, and I'm sure it will become very helpful when I receive my new system! This is the first place I'll turn to for advice. Jen

Famicoman and Room 34 - does this look good? I'm confused about that whole connection coaxial (whatever!) bit. Is this similar to what I should be looking for? http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/au...50?aucview=0x23

Thanks AGAIN - y'all have been extremely helpful. I think I'm going to peruse the marketplace here tomorrow. Everybody was such a big help - I can't thank you enough.

Thanks for the link, Room 34. But now I have a migraine knowing there are that many consoles to choose from! Oy. When I buy one, what do I need to make sure it comes with???? I don't want to be hunting down some obscure part!

That's true - I didn't think about that. Either I'll wait till after Christmas, or buy one from one of the members here. Y'all are great!

And I have NO idea what the heavy, sixth, or Darth Vadar is! Boy, do I sound dumb or what??? Thanks to everyone who's replied with advice!

Moycon, what would be the advantage of the 7200 over the 2600? I didn't realize it played both games - that's awesome. But is it a better system than the 2600?

Hello all! My brother recommended this site to me, saying it was great. It looks like he's right! I hope someone can help me - I decided (today!) that I want another Atari 2600 system like the one I had growing up (loved SI and Night Driver, especially). My question - is the 2600 the best to buy? And is ebay the easiest way to go? And if so, what do I need to look out for? I'm scared of buying one, only to have it not work. ANY advice you could offer is appreciated!
