Get a CompuMate keyboard and 20 games for your Atari 2600!

One lovely, boxed CompuMate home computer expansion/keyboard thingy by Spectravideo and 20 sealed games (mostly copies of Berzerk, admittedly) for the venerable Atari 2600 console can be your via this eBay auction. Provided you have a US address, that is.

Oh, and did you know that the CompuMate, besides offering a membrane keyboard, also allows you to connect a tape recorder to your console in order to store and read data? Well, it does, and even comes with a built-in version of BASIC, a music synthesizer app and a drawing program.

  1. Well, it was a really good port of Berzerk for the 2600. Guess he figured it would become a collector's item so he stocked up for retirement.

    1. One can only speculate good sir, but, well, I do suppose that's exactly what happened. Also love 2600's Berzerk to death myself.

      I believe it was the very first video game I ever played!
