Got a head start on games! Now alls I need is the actual console.

With hookups. Anyone got one they're willing to sell? Inbox me.

Just bought 12 2600 games from guitarmas over on the marketplace. Anyone have experience with this user? Trustworthy seller?

Looking at lot #1. Those titles still available? Looking to get Pitfall!, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Defender, Space Invaders, Berzerk, Missile Command, Warlords, Demon Attack, Combat (pic label), and Haunted House. If so PM me and we'll work something out.

Does the composite replace the original RF type output, or is that still an option? Also, does console only include the hookups or any controllers? Or just the bare system?

So even though it's composite modded, is RF still an option, or did the mod replace the original feature?

Posted in Marketplace. If anyone sees a good heavy sixer listing on eBay link me here please.

Looking to get a 2600 Heavy Sixer in good looking condition with 2 original controllers, and all original hookups (Power/RF..or whatever I need to plug it directly into my TV's coaxial port) and possibly some starter games. Get at me.

So indecisive. I will have disposable income in mere hours. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161850945499?ul_noapp=true Yay or nay? The aftermarket controller/power adapter is turning me off. Or is that actually a good thing? (No idea how OG 2600 controllers hold up these days).

Is that the light sixer, Meneer?

Watching a guy review each variation on YouTube. The Jr. looks great in pictures, but getting a better look at every version has me leaning towards the Darth Vader.

Thanks for the all the helpful feedback, everyone. Went to my local Game XChange and they had a lot of the games on my list, but the labels were mostly in horrible condition so I ended up leaving with 7 more NES titles lol. I'm really anal when it comes to trying to get games in decent condition with pretty good labels and such. Anyone else suffer from this horrible condition? Looks like I might have to stick with ebay so I can track down carts in good physical condition.

Also, an ignorant question, but excuse me because I'm a noob... What are the six switches for? Resetting the game and I know some carts have different game modes, so do you lose some of that functionality with the JR since it has 4 switches instead of 6?

Not a fan of flash carts. I guess I'm a purist when it comes to collecting physical media. The only time I'd buy a flash cart is after I've bought all the games I want that I can afford. Then I'd use the flash cart for the crazy expensive titles I'll never be able to buy a real copy of. But seeing as there's probably roughly only 50 2600 games I'm interested in owning physical copies of, the harmony cart might be in my not so distant future. Will probably stop by the local game store today to see what they have and get a head start on buying games. Will wait until the weekend before I get a console. The flea market here is open on weekends and I'm gonna see if they have one I'd want before I order from eBay. So, do you guys collect for any other consoles?

What's a harmony cart, an Atari flash cart? Also, are there any quality 1st gen platformers like Pitfall, Pitfall 2, Jungle Hunt, and Frankensteins Monster? Those are the types of games I'll enjoy the most.

After some research these are the games I have decided to target.. Asteroids Berzerk Breakout Combat Defender Demon Attack Dig Dug Dodge 'Em Donkey Kong E.T. Frankenstein's Monster Frogger Haunted House Jr. Pac-Man Jungle Hunt Mario Bros. Missile Command Ms. Pac-Man Pac-Man Pitfall! Pitfall II Pong Sports Q*bert River Raid Space Invaders Star Fox Worm War I Yars' Revenge

I've been collecting retro games and systems off and on the past 10 years or so. My main focus is NES games and I also own a SNES, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64 with a small collection of games for each. So since I'm new to Atari completely, I was hoping some people here could help me out. What's the best model of 2600 to get? I'm considering the 2600 Junior myself just because I like that it takes up less space and has a nice sleek design and logo on the front of it. Are there any downsides to this version of the console I should be aware about? Does the console just connect straight to your TV with an RF connector? Or will I need to buy some sort of converter to get the system hooked up to the television? And lastly, GAMES. What are the best/must-own Atari 2600 games? Thanks!
