Which console do you prefer?

[Starhopper]

Morbid curiosity time. If you could only choose to buy/keep one 2600 console, which would it be?

 

My Sears light-sixer is my choice, since it was my original console, back in the early days

[Hoodoo]

Easy...the same one I've had for 24 years! The ONLY one I ever had....If "Bertha" died, I'd be one sad 2600 widower,that's for sure, followed by a month or so of longing, then the...."other woman"....hehe, I'd get me a new (old) one!

For some reason I'm partial towards the 4-switch woody.

[PressureCooker2600]

For some reason I'm partial towards the 4-switch woody.

 

Same here.

 

It has a sleek, bad-ass look to it.

[Lord Helmet]

I grew up with the 4 switch woody, so I'd pick that one

[galaxy warrior]

i enjoy my gemini the best. but jr is probably next.

[Atari2600Lives]

How about Sears Video Arcade II ?

 

That is the only one that works 100% perfect on my 42 inch Flat panel.

[ovalbugmann]

I first had an Atari heavy sixer as my first 2600, and I wouldn't choose anything else. Nostolgia I guess.

[Foxsolo2000]

Light sixer by Atari as it was the first system I ever owned

[Impaler_26]

The Jr. because it was the first Console i got.

[ATARIPITBULL]

I use the Heavy Sixer as my main Atari playing system, but the first one I ever had as a kid was the 4 switch woody.

That is the only one that works 100% perfect on my 42 inch Flat panel.

To date, I still haven't seen one of these in person. I apologize for the oversight, however.

[Fighter17]

The Vader model.

 

I just don't know why really...

[BassGuitari]

How about the Sears 4-switch?

 

Honestly, I like all of them just about equally. I couldn't pick just one. But if I had to, I might go with a Sears system, just to be a little different.

[Prodos8]

I prefer, only slightly, the 4-switch (atari or sears) since the cartridge slot seems less picky than the 6-switcher's.

 

Not really a big deal, as long as it works well.

<-- 4-switch woody. My original from back in the day.

Gotta be a sixer - difficulty switches are best when visible

Amen

[candiru]

I almost chose the Vader because that was my first system, and the all black just looks cool, but over all I have to choose the Light Sixer by Atari. It has all six switches on the front without the cartridge slot issues the Heavy Sixer has.

[Ghost Soldier]

My trusty vader is my weapon of choice. Followed by my light sixer and my jr.

[+Propane13]

My 7800. Too bad it's not an option.

[Gabriel]

I've always kind of wanted one of the 7800-looking Sears Video Arcade II units.

[oldric]

PAL 2600 Jr because it's the only one with a scart connexion (excepted the RGB 7800 - i have both -).

[shadow460]

Gotta be a sixer - difficulty switches are best when visible

 

I heard that. They are clearly visible on my first choice of console--my third run, modded 7800.

If I had to choose a 2600 console specifically, though, I'd choose a Sears Heavy Sixer. Let's hear it for the "off" brand!

Yep, me too. 7800.
