So my first Atari as a kid was the all black 2600 (the 'Darth Vader') but I could swear it had 6 switches not 4 ! I guess I could be remembering wrong but until I started looking this stuff up if you asked me how many switches my Atari had I would have said 'six' without thinking twice.
And my cousin swears she had a wood grain 5200 that looked identical to a 2600 heavy sixer. I remember being at her house and playing something that looked like a heavy sixer but they were always complaining that they couldn't find any games for it like we could for the 2600.
So what gives? I guess I could be wrong about the six switch Vader, but what about the wood grain 5200? Was there another version besides the 2600 and 5200? (the number 4800 comes to mind but maybe my brian just made that up, who knows, it was so long ago...)
