Yesterday we went to check out a few garage sales. We got to this one where my dad went looking for a new hard drive and monitor, etc.... The I saw this box and it said "Atari console w/ joystick and paddles." I went and looked in and there it was, an Atari. There was a big box of (27) games beside it that said "2$ each or 5$ for 3". I asked my dad if we could get it and he said "No, you already have enough of that stuff." So we left.... When we were in the car I kept bothering him to get it ('cause thats what I do). So FINALLY we went back and got he Atari with the joystick, paddles and all 27 games for a total of 35$ (Atari for 10$ and games for 25$). I will post a few pics later of my winnings. The games we got include:

Spoiler Alert:    
Demon Attack
Warlords
Video olmpics (pretty much just "pong")
Defender
Pac-Man
Donkey-Kong junior
Space invaders
Chopper command
Centipede
Dig dug
Missle command
Battle zone
Laser blast
Berzerk
Jungle hunt
Moon patrol
Adventure
Haunted house
Star wars: The empire strikes back
Casino
Pole position
Yars' revenge

The games that don't work (yet):
Star master
Crack pots
Video pinball

Then there are 2 other games that the label was riped off, but one of them is something spider-man.

If you have any questions just ask.

Don't play Pac-Man for Atari it's one of the worst games ever made and like E.T. they made more copies of the game then Atari's.

I thought Pac-Man was good, its pretty challenging, but I like a challenge .

I have both, but no power cord. I too like the retro stuff. (I also have a Sega Genesis and a PS1.)

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU DO WANT
The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man isn't bad, it's just not true to the original.
And also, I wouldn't call the PlayStation 'retro' yet.

........Have you played Atari today? *shot*

Anyway, nice find. I do have a bunch of games and controllers for the 2600, yet I don't have the system (yet).

Yes, I have played it (all day) today. I really like most of those games I got, especially the Centipede.

Hah, I didn't bother to read all of them. I was too busy being jealous. Plus they weren't alphabetized like they should've been. >w<
