My Atari collection, small but interesting

[TOSser]

Hi all,

 

thought I'd share my Atari collection. first up, some limited Fossil watches, I think these were a massive flop in their day, acquired them all on ebay for as low as £15 each to £70

 

 

The latest edition, an Atari Lynx, broken on ebay, just had some gunk on the dpad ribbon cable. Now with McWill's excellent LCD mod.

 

 

Finally my favourite ebay acquisition, a Hard Drivin' upright arcade machine! £120 delivered. It needs some tidying up but all in all, everything works very well. It has a bit of screen burn but not very noticable when it gets going. The force feedback is a bit of a monster, incredibly accurate with lift off oversteer.

Nice collection. Those Atari Fossil watches are really cool. Are they from the early 80s or a current retro thing?

Love Hard Drivin and Race Drivin!! I credit these games in teaching me to drive a stick shift.

I think the watches are 2005ish, there is a post about them here http://atariage.com/forums/topic/77844-fossil-asteroids-watch-biggest-pos-ripoff-ever/

 

Hard drivin always has a queue of people waiting to play when I have a BBQ. Everyone stalls it first time.
