Does anyone own an Atari gamesystem anymore?

[tsquared]

Just wondering if any of these are around any more?

[Jackie_Blu]

I think my son still has the one I bought him when he was young.Last I knew he had it packed away somewhere. (Unless his nasty ex threw it away...she was good at that:()

[ElleGee]

My son's grandmother has one put away somewhere.

Mine is at my moms... boy I remember how excited I was when we got one! LOL

[tsquared]

I still have the Atari 2600 I bought for my son when he was young. I had forgotten all about it.

They tried to make a come back with the Atari 2600 a couple years ago. They were selling them with preloaded games at Target for $19.99 on Black Friday. And yeah, the nightrider is embarassed to admit that she bought one.

Our son had the original. At one point, he told me he loved it when I got interested in his toys. He had a ton of games because of my addiction to his toy.

i still have my original 2600....the kids play it once in awhile then they go back to the wii and xbox360 when the novelty wears off again

We still have the original system. My MIL was going to sell it a few years back at a garage sale, and I had hubby confiscate it.

The problem is.....where do you get replacement joysticks?? For serious gamers, those things wear out pretty fast!

We have 2., the original & the Sears rip-off brand that played the games.

[dinosmom]

I have the original Atari system and a TON of games. We actually have it hooked up and it gets played whenever people come over. LOL

That gives me a great idea. It would be so fun to have an old school game night! I don't have Atari, but have Sega.

[hotwheelstx]

Brother still has his. Still plays with it I think. Won't give it up....still has the original Nintendo too.....with Mario Brothers, Zelda and all those games.
