A lovely Atari 400

The Atari 400, just like the Atari 800, appeared in 1979, but unlike its bigger and more powerful brother, it was actually designed as a child-friendly and child-resistant machine. It is thus one of the sturdiest 8-bit computers ever and you can bid on it via this Atari 400 auction. The computer seems to be in excellent condition and comes with its manual, a BASIC cartridge and the much needed power supply. Seller ships only within the US.

  5. Nice; Also, Atari Greatest Hits Vol 2 for the DS has an Atari 400 virtual computer. It's cool, I'm just not sure on exactly what its Basic can do, etc.
