bluejay Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Oh, and by the way, the 2600's BASIC Programming and Compumate must have had cassette support, right? Or did nobody ever get to the point where they have to actually save something using the keyboard controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xabin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 DIdn't know there was a keyboard and Basic program for the 2600, I thought it was strictly a gaming console. Anyway, I have fond memories of my Atari 2600, but if you have more than one that works, best to give it to someone that can give it a good home and trade for a system you don't have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked cool. I always wanted one when they first came out and in a way somewhat rare. So picked this one up 2 years ago. Checked that it worked and then put it back in box and display it.

I didn't even know if they released any more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
