Does any one have an Atari set up for on the road play? I thougt of mounting one and a small TV under the dash and on top of the tranny tunnel of the ole Dodge pickup to play at work during lunch and such. I'm not much into portables, I always lose em'.

Used to. When I was in high school (back in 1986) I had my 2600 operating in my car. I had a little B&W television that ran on 12v, and the VCS also worked fine on 12v. I was popular in the parking lot after school... Even the non-geeky folks thought it was cool

I've pondered doing something like that one of these days, one of my goals in life is to build an Atari-themed Kustom car

 

I've got some ideals in my head, one of these days I'd like to start putting them together.

...anybody remember that old episode of Knight Rider where Michael was playing Pac Man in K.I.T.T., and used that cheesy little red-voice box as the screen?...the car's driving itself (of course*) and Michael's holding the old CX-40 and playing a game!...I thought it would be a dream come true...I think that may have been the same episode where the computer nerd hacker "took over" KITT and used an Atari joystick to drive it!!!...that was a joke!...

 

..anybody remember that?

To atarilovesyou: yes, I do remember that episode. Michael Knight was playing Atari 5200/8-bit computer Pac-Man, and then K.I.T.T. gets hacked, and his guts end up being inside a portable TV for the duration of the episode.

If I had a car, I guarentee you one would be in there. But, I don't, so I have one inside of my computer.

I often thought of putting one in my Suburban. I wanted to do it all nice now, with a 7800 or Sixer all pristine and such mounted in the lower console or in the dash as there is alot of room in there arond the AC-Heat lines. And maybe put a flip down Alpine screen, but that would require mods or adapters, and I don't have time for many projects and throwing money into toys has already proved to be very costly even though I don't spend that much on classic stuff anymore.

 

Great idea though, good luck to anyone who wants to try it.

78' Scirocco, rad. A friend in H.S. had one, it was real fun.
