Classic Games and Systems

[Amethyst]

Hmmm Atari... let me think.. oh, you mean the 130 XE and the 520 STFM computers? Oh yeah, we got a couple of those stored away... both played games btw... along with a lot of other nice software.. the XE had cartridges you just plugged in... man I remember going from a tape drive to a disk drive... what an improvement... other than when transfering all those games I typed in to disk from tape, I couldn't remember the filenames... well duhhhh... on the tape drives you just loaded it from the counter... lol.. there were no filenames!!

Oh yeah, also got a 7800 Atari game system that played the 2600 carts as well and 80 game cartridges (about 20 are 7800 games, the others are 2600) for it plus a ton of joy sticks including the track ball ones... you think anybody would be interested in it? lol..

We had a pong game, it also had bowling on it... if I remember correctly... it didn't last too long and we didn't get back into game systems until just last year when we purchased a Game Cube... course my son on the other hand has a PS & PS2 and then Game Boys... probably should of just hooked up the Atari... laugh..
