The Atari 2600 Game Library

The Game Library, an obscure Atari 2600 accessory from 1980, is the fanciest (probably most useless too) game storage solution a retro gamer can get. You can store up to eight Atari cartridges and their instructions in it and then push a lever to have the cartridge of your choice pop out for you. Then again, it's quite a rare thingy.

Anyone interested should really have a look at a certain Game Library ebay auction. Seller ships to Europe and US, but probably could also manage worldwide.

  2. It is, but it's not that well preserved... It's from the 80s you see.
