This is a fantastic, US only, Atari VCS / 2600 console and you can grab via this handily linked Atari 2600 auction. The seller is offering a complete, boxed 1977 Atari VCS in apparently great condition, that comes with joysticks, paddles, manuals, registration and other cards, power supply and a copy of Combat. Oh, and should you win the thing and feel like making Retro Treasures a happier place do not hesitate to mail it over. No, really, I'll put the thing on a pedestal.

Very nice. I still have my old sixer but no box and that one is in great condition - the ones I see are usually pretty beat up.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record - Combat is an excellent 2-player game even today!
That was a awesome Christmas!!...aaww memories!! Thanks sir.
ReplyDelete@ MadPlanet: You are indeed correct dear friend! Combat is excellent and still highly playable. Mind you, I do generally find box a bit of a problem to store.
ReplyDelete@ Blase: You are most welcome kind sire. Gaming memories eh?
Combat was awesome. One of the truly great 2600 titles that came out of Atari in those days. Many a day off from uni was spent playing it on my friend's heavy sixer on days off from Uni. Mind you, his whole decor was a 70s timewarp, so the sheer retro goodness of the Atari 2600 fitted in nicely with his woodgrain TV, betamax vcr and hi-fi seperates (complete with 8-track). It was like 1978 all over again.
ReplyDeleteWooow. That does sound pretty brilliant, you know. Technology encased in wood, betamax, and combat. Ah, yes, could spend an afternoon there. Or back in uni.
