I don't currently have a TV that is compatible with the RF output of a stock 2600, so I am obliged to use emulation -- mostly Stella, but also the PS 2 Atari and Activision collections.

 

Some years ago, before emulation was really viable, I mainly used my Gemini. It's greatest virtue was its small size (even smaler than the Jr.). I used stock joysticks, however, as it was years later until I found the special Gemini controllers.

They make TVs without coax input?

Sears Video Arcade II :D

 

I have a jr sitting on display, but generally I have most recently used the INTV system changer just to test it out, and the 7800 because I recently picked up some new games for it. But when I want the full nostalgic experience, I use my 4 switch woody.

Atari Jr. Why is everyone hating on my buddy, the jr?

They dont want to accept him. You and me both know he is awesome!

(Hence, how do I say this... LED LIGHT! I always leave my Top loader NES on with no power led on it. Thank you Atari!)

i got a light sixer and a jr.

 

the sixer stays in my room, hooked up to a shitty little tv from the 80's/early 70's, my preferred way to play, because that's how it was when it launched, and the junior is in the living room hooked up to 28 inch more modern tv in the corner, because my dad forbid me to hook it to our 48 inch hd because he was afraid of burn in, but i think it would look ridiculous on it anyway lol

I play on the wii emulator when I am capturing video for on youtube, because I don't have an s-vid modded Atari yet. XD

 

In the gameroom I play on one of my various models, which lately has been the sears video arcade II because its easier on me wiring wise, because I can use my Sega Genesis adapter on it.
