I was playing one of these at a museum the other day, I am jealous.

Yes we have a museum with tons of playable classic games and some newer stuff like the oculus rift, which made me feel sick.

Some of the classic games are still fun to play.

I had an Intellivision as well, many years ago. I really wish I hadn’t lost that one during a move, I enjoyed playing it.

Needs more paddle controller. Those things are awesome.

Still have my 2600 from when I was a kid. Still works. I'm on my 3rd 360...

I wasn’t buying it to become rich one day. I had one as a kid and wanted another one.

Paid $80 bucks (cad) and for me it was worth every penny.

Working on getting other games for it. Frogger was one of my favorites.

There is nothing that bring a smile to your face quite like a classic game. The new stuff is great and all but it is easily forgettable.

Is the console unusually heavy? If it is, it’s an early model with lots of lead :D

I don’t know what would classify as unusually heavy but it’s probably 5lbs or so.

I could of got the paddle controllers for another $20 bucks but I only ever remember using them for Pong so I passed on it.

It’s the lighter version. Heavy ones are more rare and valuable for some reason. People like lead I guess :P

You are holding the source of my wasted childhood. You’re going to have a lot of fun with that. Also if you like retro gaming, you may want to look into one of these:

I’d much rather have the real thing.

I currently have:

Atari,NES,SNES,N64,Sega Genesis & PS1.

I have pretty much all of my retro needs met. The stuff I never played as a kid I have no real interest in.

I working on setting up a scaled down version of this:

you mean 80 loonies? =P congrats, even though I have tons of games emulated on my phone, they’re fun but they don’t compare to actually playing on a console.

I agree. This hooked up to my 60” with the original controller makes it a much better experience. Especially since the last time I played Atari was on a 13” tube tv.

Nice bro!

I’ve currently got:

original NES, which requires an old tube TV for duck hunt guns :-(

sega genesis

N64

xbox 360

Would totally do an atari. I remember some tank game I use to play that was f-ing awesome.

I bought a NES at a garage sale in 2004 for $10. I sold it in 2012 for $100. I don’t miss it; I’ve got emulators.

You don’t see them in garage sales anymore. I’ve been looking here and there and have never seen anything.

Luckily I still have mine from when I was a kid.
