Marked down on clearance to $40 @ K Mart North Lakes (QLD), may be other stores. They had about 6 to 8 boxes on display behind the photo counter. You have to ask attendant to get them. Not listed on their web site, just at the photo counter.

Currently on Amazon for $82.99 USD

Perfect for the 80's kid like me who still has an original 2600 stored under the house but can't be buggered digging it out, then replacing the caps, cleaning all the contacts, wiggling the cartridges back and forth, giving it a few thumps, and then sourcing a RF to HDMI converter just to play the original beast. Seriously, save yourself the headache and just buy this one for 40 bucks and be happy! Oh, and did i mention its seriously cute. Like baby Yoda cute!

      I use to spend hours playing Space invaders. I use to go to the arcade with my 20c pieces to play destroyer, SI, and Galigular. Then Atari came along and I could play it at home. Frogger. Pitfall. Still have the Console, but for some reason my mum through out the controllers. What the. Still have some of the cartridges somewhere. Wonder what they would be worth.

        Megadrive controllers work on Atari 2600.

          Commodore 64 and Amiga used the same controllers, too, if anybody has any old sticks left around from those :D

        Galigular

        Was that meant to read Galaxian or Galaga? :)

          Galigular is actually Caligular's long lost twin brother, a fact. Look it up.

      Worth it to own a part of history. The games are great & I loved ours.

    I called KMART at Knox City, they don't have it.
    I can't also see this on KMART website.
    Anyone has information on which Vic shops have this item?
    Thank you.

      Footscray has 10 in stock. You can call any store and they can tell you stock of other stores.

        IIRC Mario Bros was a game similar to Donkey Kong that was on Atari. The one on the NES was Super Mario Bros.

        I played it on my 2600 until the score counter went past 999,999 only to discover that the score then goes back to 0 🤔

        • [Deactivated] on 08/01/2020 - 08:09

          There you go. Nintendo on Atari. Learn something new every day.

          Any chance of Breath of the Wild on PS4?!

        there's this wonderful thing called the internet and it allows you to search for anything you want to download…

    • PinzVidz on 08/01/2020 - 02:14

      Or a RPi running RetroPie.

  • DEvok on 07/01/2020 - 22:15

    Wow isn’t this the brown wooden Atari?

    • guidedlight on 07/01/2020 - 22:26

      Yes. But the original Atari 2600 had 6 buttons on top, known as the Heavy 6-er.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/01/2020 - 14:46

        I've got a Vader (the original "2600") and a Jr

    For anybody who is interested this unit can be slightly modified with a cheap Y cable so that it can access a usb drive and load additional Atari rom images - see https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2019/10/21/atari-fla…

    This is even endorsed by the manufacturer who have the same information on their support website though I think you have to sign up to their site to see it hence why I use the above link instead.

    What? No Pac man or Ms Pac Man? One of the greatest games ever devised…

    • gizmomelb on 08/01/2020 - 04:01

      licencing them probably cost too much

  • Jackson on 08/01/2020 - 00:34

    Unlike the Nintendo and Sega consoles, the Atari is probably worth about 30 minutes of your time in all seriousness. I don't think I could find someone who wasn't completely put off by the extremely rudimentary graphics, sound and game play. Yes there's a couple of games that you can play, but even the NES and the C64 were leaps an bounds ahead of this

    • AngusD on 08/01/2020 - 08:22
      +1

      Yeah, these games have not aged well. Of interest for historical / nostalgia purposes only, I think. I guess if you've got some spoiled kids (grandkids?) and you want to show em what you had to play with back when YOU were a lad, you can sit them in front of that for however long their attention span will stand (probably closer to 30 seconds than 30 minutes).

      Interestingly, according to Wikipedia the original 2600 cost US$199 when it launched in 1977, which is the equivalent of US$839 today. Quite extraordinary how much more bang for your buck you get these days - makes the PS3 launch price look reasonable!

        America had a middle class back then though, so everyone could actually afford it.

  • AMLagonda on 08/01/2020 - 02:57

    I still have all my original games :)

  • kapone on 08/01/2020 - 10:28

    If only it came with spinner controllers as well!

  • browser on 08/01/2020 - 13:02

    Can it rewind to any point in time (i.e. 5 seconds before the stuff up and have another go)? Or just to pre-defined check points?

    • pauliau on 08/01/2020 - 14:10
      +1

      Yeah, actually thats an awesome feature. It rewinds just like a video for as long as you hold down the button. Wish the original had this!!

  • tukangbakso on 08/01/2020 - 14:16

    Just saw a couple of boxes in Kmart Lidcombe

  • Phoebus on 08/01/2020 - 15:02

    I never thunk Atari 2600 was a HD console

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 08/01/2020 - 17:34

    There is a really good book on the history of the industry from the 60s to the 90s. Its called The history of Video Games by Steven l kent, though i have been reading volume 1. Volume 2 looks like it is just an updated version.

  • graceyym on 09/01/2020 - 21:09

    Just picked up 2 in store! They hidwe them behind the customer service counter.

  • PapaX on 10/01/2020 - 23:41

    Picked one up at Kmart Midland today. Still had 4-5 behind the counter.

  • deecasey22 on 12/01/2020 - 11:01
