I'm new here. Just looking for friends in the Atari community.

 

For the longest time I've only ever had the Jaguar. A great system but it was getting lonely, so I decided to get a 7800. Found one on ebay with Xevious. The one game I wasn't able to get from my cousin when he sold his old NES games. Also found the 2600 version of Pacman for 50 cents with box and manual at a thrift store. Actually my wife found it, great woman.

 

Well her family was over. I was playing Xevious upstairs and both her younger brother and cousin begged to play. Her brother tried to beat my high score while her cousin just kept begging. Both are in there early teens. I never had this with my newer consoles.

 

It's strange how Atari has the effect.

Cool!, older Atari systems are still fun, even in this pretty advanced state that the video game world is in right now. The old games do hold appeal still, they put everything into gameplay skill not cool graphics so it makes you want to play again to beat your old scores. There's some cool arcade quality conversions for the 7800. I think younger gamers can like vintage games with simpler graphics, even though the old ones are not easy to beat.
