r/Atari2600

Mainly stuff I have had for years, but since getting my 2600+ pacman edition I have added a few.

It's amazing how after all this time the games are still fun to play (there are exceptions, I'm looking at YOU freeway...)

I never had any imagic games so this is a great series to collect. Cosmic ark is superb fun. I'm glad I have the manual for Riddle of the Sphinx though!

Recent pickup that move me from casual acquirer into true collector status. Both Space Invaders items replace ones I already had, but are in better condition. And the Alien 8k and Pepsi Invaders are reproductions of games never truly released.

Finally got my Atari 2600 working again! 🕹️

I hooked it up to the big television using an RCA connection, and I’m so excited that it’s working again.

There’s nothing like playing classic Atari games on the big screen! 🎮📺

My latest batch of eBay buys showed up this afternoon.

Found this in a box two years ago when looking for something else. First gen game consoles in full-on war mode~!!!

Went into town and picked up a few, got home and sure enough I already had 2 of them. Got a couple in the mail today too. Othello, choplifter and trick shot were favorites from when I was a kid.

I am not using original hardware. It's on a Retron 77. But my god. This took me 3 days and it's just game mode 1. Aiming to do again on game modes 3 and 5. I just needed to share this with people that would understand the achievement.

I've moved the collection to a different shelf!! Added a few more games and still loving this system more and more! Working through playing the whole library.

After repairing the cable and trying to connect it to a VCR, which failed miserably, I decided to try the video cable on other consoles. I realized it wasn't the same cable, so it was switched directly to an antenna because I couldn't find any workaround or anything wrong with the cable. I thought I could try tuning it on a separate TV I have (just for consoles) because my main TV is set up with other channels. I did this and it worked perfectly, except for the Grand Prix game. There's no image at first, and then it disappears...

I recently found an Atari 2600 outside some containers with 18 games. The problem is that the power cable (European) is broken without a power supply, and I need to know if a 9V 2.1A adjustable power supply will work or if it will damage it...

Just got a thrift store haul of some old games, which there were several atari games. I was wondering if anyone had any information on any of these? Some dont have names, some are in pretty bad shape and I cant confirm what they are, and some are in Japanese so it's been hard trying to source any information.

It's just the box. No console. I really just want to keep the box safe.

Hey everybody. I own a game store in Upstate NY, and while going through storage to prep some 2600’s for sale we found a model we don’t recognize.

It’s clearly an Atari heavy sixer, with Atari coloration and all. However the front says “Video Arcade” instead of Atari, and the sticker on bottom says it was manufactured for Sears. However, as far as I am aways the Sears Tele-games system says Tele-games on it and has a silver coloration to the switch panel.

Is this just a variant of the Telegames unit? Is it a factory refurbished console that may use mixed parts?

Any information is appreciated!

my atari jr has this weird glitch thing that only happens with galaxian where the screen flickers super quickly. idk why it does that, the game works well on my light sixer.

any thoughts? kinda sucks bc im on holydays stuck with my jr and cant play galaxian

Finally modded my Atari 2600 Darth Vader to RCA, next idea is to get a good upscaler from RCA to hdmi and add it internally, any suggestions?
