How many of you remember Atari?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

I went into Electronics Boutique the other day, and was suprised to find an Atari game console that was the size of a remote. It has the controls on the console, and you hook it up to the front or rear of your TV with RCA cords. It has Breakout, Super Breakout, Arcade Warlords, Warlords, Arcade Pong, Steeple Race, Demons to Diamonds, Casino, Circus Breakout, Street Racer, Night Racer, Canyon Bomber, and Trivia Olympics. It's very addictive, and a lot of fun.

I remember when we first got ours....it came with one game. PONG. We played it for hours and hours!!

It's pretty neat. You put 4AAA batteries in the back of it and just plug it in and turn it on. It's like the Atari controller, only it has all of these games built into it. I played Breakout for hours today, and could never beat it. I left it with only one brick the last time I tried.....:(

yea, didnt have anything interesting to put.

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

i have an atari, its great. you cant really beat old school, unless of your talking about nintendo, snes, playstation, sega xbox, gamecube, but atari is still great. and no one really has an advandtage since there is only the one button and the joy stick. also did you do powerlifting rhino? those are some pretty good number for someone your age/size.

I don't remember how much the newer version was, I saw it in there and didn't pay too much attention to it, but my brother bought one for us. If I recall correctly it was in the neighborhood of about $20, but I won't swear to it.

Oh yea I remember when I was a kid they were the coolest thing to buy back in the 80's. Now thay gives me flashback of the 80's with the trends music and movies. If you really want to remember the 80's on Vh1 they have I Love the 80's show and they mention about the atari. The other night I saw the I Love the 90's show. I thought it was cool. It took me back to growing up in my 20's when we were first mention the new generation x.
