+pboland Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 This is easy. For a console I would go with the 7800 (two in one). For the computer, again easy, the XEGS because it has the best stock composite video out of all the Atari computers and because I like my upgraded detachable keyboard (extra long cord). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicViper Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 7800 + 800XL Same here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengwin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Like most, I would choose a 7800 and 800XL (probably upgraded to 128K though). I thought about the ST/Falcon range, but I prefer the down and dirty approach afforded by the 8-bits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8th lutz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Console - Atari 7800 Computer - nothing. I picked Atari 7800 due to the fact you can play Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 games on a game console. I never owned or used an Atari computer due to the fact I didn't have a computer at home before July 1994 as I were entering my sophomore year in High school. The 2nd thing is Atari computers were not in any of the school I went to at all. Edited October 4, 2011 by 8th lutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hmm. For the computer it would be an original Atari 800. I'd go with the 5200 for the console but since that's so close to the 8-bit computers I'd take my second choice, the Sears Cartridge Telegames System Video Arcade. You know, because it rolls off the tongue so easily. I always preferred the Sears versions of the Atari 2600 carts and packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
