Jason85 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Recently found my childhood Atari 2600 with 128 games built-in I don't know if this console is common or not but I haven't been able to find much out about it. Still have the owners manual warranty card and games list in the box. Also a few other games I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 What's the date on the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHart Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It looks like one listed in the AA archives : https://atariage.com/2600/archives/consoles.html It's the 128-in-1 System. It reads "This is a 128-in-1 system from Australia. This may be an officially licensed product." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, my guess is that it is a real Junior but a pirate company added in 128 games and the sticker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's entertaining that some of the names are straight up actual titles of games... And then there's "Reystone Kappers", "Thiek", and "Gopher Catture" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolleMan Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi all, sorry to revive such an old thread. A friend of mine is moving overseas and selling just about everything she owns. Amongst the things that are going on the market is one of these 2600s with built in games. I assume it's genuine as the PCB has Atari printed on it. It's slightly worse for wear but it seems to work fine. Before this gets flogged off for cheap I just wanted to make sure she didn't have some rarity. Are these worth anything?

Keatah Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Don't know about them being worth anything beyond ebay prices or such. But I would say sentimentality is going to be the winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolleMan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks for the response. It's a pretty cool console having games built in, I already have a 4 switch Vader but I think i may keep it. I've been charged with selling her entire collection, she will accept anything I can get but i wouldn't want to take advantage. How much do you think I should give her for it?

Keatah Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 A guess would be $50. But I know nothing about the 7800. You can do like thrift stores do. Look up the price on ebay. Look up the ones that have actually sold and not what's currently for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like mine, only dirty and faded. That VCS needs a lot of TLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolleMan Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yep, 128 games. There's a 4 position switch on the back and the black and white / colour switch cycles through the games on each switch setting. I'm guessing there's 4 roms each with 32 games. Yours is in much better condition, this one has spent a portion of its life out in the elements. Works just fine though. Apart from the decal its cleaned up quite nicely. Still not sure if I'll keep it. 128 games is cool, but I've already got a Vader and my retro collection is already quite large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 $50 seems about right. A couple have sold recently on eBay for more, but then you have the cuts eBay and PayPal take, plus the hassle of mailing it and then praying both the post office and the buyer treats you right. I'm curious what country you're in and whether this is an NTSC or PAL system. I'd assume PAL, as I don't think the 128-in-1 was released in any NTSC countries, but the screen-shot for Pac-Man doesn't match PAL or NTSC. Someone must have played with the game's color palette.

StolleMan Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Yep, it's PAL (I'm in Australia). Sounds like $50 may be the going rate. I'll finish cleaning it up and see if I'm still infatuated with it before I decide whether to buy it for myself or on-sell it. Thanks everyone for the responses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
