Atari XE Video Game System

Based on the Atari 8-bit computers range, the Atari XE Video Game System (Atari XEGS) was released in 1987 and tried to merge micros and consoles under a cute, pal coloured hood. Despite being pleasing to the eye, decently priced, interesting and backwards compatible it never set the world on fire.

Still, owning one is definitely worth the effort and price and any interested parties should have a look at this Atari XEGS eBay auction. The fully working console comes complete with keyboard, lightgun and four games: One-On-One Basketball, Fight Night, Bug Hunt and Flight Simulator II. Seller ships worldwide.

One big box of Atari XE GS gaming

The Atari XE Video Game System (a.k.a. Atari XEGS) is a console/home-computer hybrid that was compatible with Atari's 8-bit micro range and a direct,consolized descendant of the Atari 65XE. It was also a pretty versatile system that could be sold as either a stand-alone console or, in its deluxe version, as a complete, gaming-focused computer. It is said, keyboard empowered deluxe version you can grab via this Atari XEGS eBay auction.

What's more, the system comes in its original, complete box; a box from which it has allegedly never been removed. Yes, it's an essentially new Atari XEGS, complete with two games, all the manuals, main console, keyboard, joystick and light-gun. All that's missing is the Missile Command cartridge.
