We still have it! My kids are playing it now. It's amazing how many games you can find at the thrift stores. My Hubby can fix them too, so he'll buy them at yard sales, thrift stores, etc and re-sell on ebay with a couple of thrift store game cartridges! People still buy them.
I have an Atari game system that my cousin gave me for Christmas a few years ago. I would play Centipede on it.
My neighbors got this game i think around 77 or 78.They had the game Pong,i cant remember the others,it was cool to see something on the screen you can control,cool times.
Pong was good, Janice. I would win 1/2 the time and lose 1/2 the time.
There were many games that Atari made that were very popular in the 70s..a couple of them were: "Asteroids", "Asteroids Deluxe", "Battlezone", "Centipede", "Crystal Castles", "Gravitar", "Millipede", "Missile Command", "Pong", "Super Breakout", "Tempest", and "Warlords".. Although Atari no longer make their game consules and cartridges; they still make old and new games for the CD Rom, which now can be played on the PC.
@Chomper01 I love Pong. You can also play Atari online :)
I seen it at Stop & shop during the holidays it comes with 100 games. People do buy them
In probably the last ten years, at holiday time, these game systems are sold in mall kiosks. Up to 150 different games are compressed into a single cartridge or disc. Some have Atari games, others with early Nintendo or Sega. One kiosk in this area sold game systems with fifty pre-1990 Nintendo games compressed for $40. Not sure of the legality of it, but there is a market. The game units are off-brand, and usually, the price paid is not refundable, should the system "crash." I wouldn't trust them. After the holidays are over, the vendors are outta town!
