Does Anybody Have a Portable 2600?

[MrAtari2600]

I was quite curious looking at the genius Ben Hacks website, I noticed that he made a portable Atari 2600 system. I therefore went into further research and found it numerous times, I was curious if there was an actual portable system in production currently or somebody would have them for sale, My father enjoys shopping ahead * YES THIS FAR AHEAD * for christmas presents. YES I KNOW ITS OCTOBER!. but i get a few things early, In and around November, and I want a portable Atari 2600 if i can find one at a decent price, that will play the North American 2600 Carts.

 

if you are unsure what i said *cough the other post *

ill re explain, i apologize for my grammer its getting better though.

.....I will ask my father!!!

i know all of my christmas presents but one or two, its to early to shop i think, but i guess its easy to get anything,

But also i think its stupid,

Why don't you just buy one of the portables Ben Heck himself makes?

 

You give him a 4-switch Atari 2600 and $300 and he gives you the portable Atari 2600 that features:

 

* Runs off 4 AA batteries, also has DC power input.

* Second player controller port.

* Large 3.5″ LCD color screen.

* Built-in paddle controller.

* Both difficulty switches built-in.

* Tint control.

 

Just check his forsale page:

If you can do some of the work yourself you can get just the circuit boards for $35 or $80.

Ben makes some of the best portables around. He was the one who inspired me to start making portables and hacking Ataris. If you are looking for a portable atari he is your go to man. I wouldn't go as far as saying his portables are better than mine tho

 

Sure do.

 

 

piece of art right there

I like the wood NESp you did.

 

I'd like to get a portable NES again, but I want one that runs off a larger screen than 3.5".
