+Gemintronic Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 With this crowd a better question is: how many 2600's are in the room right now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Where do you all get all of these? I feel so under funded with just the one 2600 now... There was a time when nobody wanted them and you could get them at garage sales, flea markets, etc for very little, even for free at the end of the day.

syn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have a light sixer and a flashback 2 with a cart slot. I also have a 7800 and a 2600 expansion module for a Colecovision. I'm hopefully getting my modded Colecovision back soon. My 7800 is also out being modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Where do you all get all of these? I feel so under funded with just the one 2600 now... Most of mine I got from big lots on eBay that at the time I figured that after I took out what I wanted, buying it all in bulk, and then selling what I don't need later that in the long run it would be cheaper than buying everything individually. I also look for stuff that the seller and/or other bidders don't notice or know is in the lots. For an example, I got one in a lot that had two prototype carts that apparently only I noticed because I was the only one that bid on it. So, now I have doubles of doubles of doubles that someday I'll sort through and then sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRedPlumber Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I own my Dad's Light Sixer (which had seen better days) & a 2600 Jr. which I bought myself this year. The latter of which being my go-to for playing Atari games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ive actually been considering getting a 7800 in place of my 2600 but the compatibility issues on certain models makes me nervous. And man, I'd want a 2800 for the controllers alone! Now that I've thought about it, would those controllers work on a 2600/7800? I'm sure I tried it with my Sears VA II. I don't remember if they worked or not but I don't *think* they did. I could be entirely wrong about that, though. If you just want the controllers, just go buy a Sears VA II like I did. I only care about an actual 2800 because it's rare and collectible. It's probably my "most irrational want". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
