Test poll, please vote for your favorite Atari 2600 console!

[Albert]

This is a test poll so I can do some testing for testing purposes.  I know I didn't list everything, I'm in a hurry at the moment.  If you can take the time to vote, I'd greatly appreciate it!  Thanks!

 

I can add additional items if you want to list ones I didn't include and I can add them later today.

Atari 2600 Light Sixer. Alas the heavy one is ntsc only...

[lucifershalo]

Rétron 77

7800 has been my "daily driver" for years (2600 side used for practicality), but the Heavy Sixer is my all time favorite VCS.  

[scrummy]

Nice one.  It seemed to work well for me. 

[+Karl G]

If I could have only one, then the 7800 would be a no-brainer.

P.S. I'm assuming that this testing is for the Atari Awards voting. The secret ballot is working, but I'm hoping that, like last year, running totals will NOT be visible until the end.  ?

That's the plan. I had to pay someone to write a new plugin to support this functionality with the current version of the forum software.

Here's my test response for your testing purposes using your test poll.

I use a Sears light 4 switch but my favorite is the Vader 4 switch from my childhood.

[roadrunner]

PS2

[Guest]

Atari 2600 4-Switch. My favorite. Got it Christmas 1980. 

[Dan Iacovelli]

7800 for me, yeah kind of figured it was for testing  for the 2019 AHA (Atari Homebrew Awards)

[The Usotsuki]

I would *kill* for a Sears Sixer.

[Shawn]

7800

[chavert]

The Atari 2600 Light Sixer and second choice Atari 2600 Darth Vader. ?

[Albert]

I added Retron 77 and Intellivision System Changer.

I have to go with light sixer because I haven't played on a heavy sixer.  I assume the heavy sixer would have the better picture, but I have yet to find one for a good price.

Hey Albert,  after I voted it said the results would become visible when the poll closed.    I checked out some other stuff on the site and when I came back

it showed the results.  Was this supposed to happen?

No, it's not supposed to behave that way, the results should still be hidden.  The plugin author is investigating.  This is why I'm testing before putting this into play for the Atari Awards.

[Atarian7]

It's hidden again.

Yes, not to see if it reverts back to visible by itself again...

My test seemed to work.
