About this product

Product Information

This Atari 2600 console features a 128KB RAM that works with all relevant games. That is in addition to the additional 4KB of RAM carried in game controllers. Processing speeds for the computer system provide a smooth flow for any of the available games. Using a CPU that measures just over 1 MHz, this choice offers a steady computer option that ensures gameplay continues through various changes. The entire Atari console also features cables that allow for direct connection to any TV set. On its top, black accents offer a bold contrast that Atari gamers will love. The front-facing design makes it easy to install cartridges. Four distinct switches surround it on either side. For a blast from the past, an added switch gives users the choice of black-and-white or color television sets. Game select and game reset switches improve gameplay control for any Atari title. Each video game console cartridge is made for quick installation and removal. Atari 2600 also features two original console controllers. These traditional accessories help make this system an ideal choice for any video gaming collection. The standard Atari joystick version offers a simple design that is great for beginners as well as experts. Its stick is centered on a base that supports improved movement and video game functionality. On its side, a button makes quick work of changes or additional choices during each game. For sports titles, the console paddle controller enables quick changes and offers movement that is more precise. This is especially helpful with the consoles and games that rely on multiple players. Its center features a circular control that turns in both clockwise and counterclockwise movements during gameplay. A button on its side removes the hassle of grabbing the joystick to make changes in the main menu. Whether you are a collector or just want a console to play your vintage games, this selection from Atari may be just what you’re looking for.

  • COLECO Gemini

    If you are a COLECO fan, or enjoy retrogaming, a Gemini will go great with your collection. This system is an Atari 2600 "clone". The console switches aren't as conveniently placed as on an Atari or Sears/Telegames light or heavy "sixer", but it still works well. The combined joystick/paddle controls that come with a Gemini are "different". You will either love or hate them. They are a bit flimsy if you are accustomed to a Wico, Suncom, Epyx stick, or OEM Atari stick. The Gemini can use any Atari-compatible controller, of course. The video and power cables were long enough to make set-up convenient. Video and sound quality are typical of 80's-era RF hook-ups. I am quite pleased with the unit overall.

  • Always an Atarian!

    I still have my original unit I got as a birthday present in 1979. But it's not working. So I had to recapture the time in my life and I bought one on eBay. It is so awesome to play these games again. Brings back so many memories! Atari will always be the king of home arcade games machines!!

  • Atari with games

    Bought a Atari 2600 with several games. The system worked had no issues with any other components. All the games worked except for one but given the age of the system what you expect. For me being a vintage video game collector this was a perfect addition to my collection. Item was carefully packaged to prevent damage. Would definitely buy from this person again. Thanks for the wonderful eBay experience.

  • Good Product and fun

    Got it to work well after getting an adapter for the Coax on the TV. I love the simplicity of the game but it is still challenging. The joysticks were a little sticky, but workable.

  • Almost everything as expected

    The Atari console is in excellent working condition. The only thing that does not work is the fire button on the controller. Luckily I had a colecovision controller that works well. I did not test all the games yet.

  • Great value foe everything received

    I grew up with Atari. It was my 1st & best video game system. Now buying it 35 years later & playing all the games that were my favs sure do pass the time. I am super happy with this. The only thing I will say is 1 of the games (out of the several that were included) didn't work AT ALL. However, it was a game I had never played, so no big deal. I love the retro feelings & memories this brings me. Thank you.

  • Atari Review

    My 10 year old nephew has been bugging me for 3 years for the Atari. He wanted to play the games I played when I was young. The Atari did not disappoint and if he keeps it in good condition, he'll have a collectors item. P.S. I like it too!

  • Perfect working condition, exactly as advertised.

    Everything was exactly as advertised and worked wonderfully. Had to buy a power cord and adapter separately (Which I understood before purchase) and once they came in it powered up like it was 1987. Space invaders cartridge worked perfectly, unfortunately the game pressure cooker did not function. I can't complain as it was thrown in for free. Overall I was extremely satisfied with my nostalgic piece of memorabilia.

  • Retro gaming fun

    The first console ive ever owned was the Atari 2600 and i remember after coming home from school and always being so excited to play it. It brings back so many good memories. If you grew up or know about the Atari 2600 you know what im talking about. I just love being able to play retro games again. It brings back such great nostalgia for me.
