Classic Games and Systems

[Ryo of Inferno]

Hmmm Atari... let me think.. oh, you mean the 130 XE and the 520 STFM computers? Oh yeah, we got a couple of those stored away... both played games btw... along with a lot of other nice software.. the XE had cartridges you just plugged in... man I remember going from a tape drive to a disk drive... what an improvement... other than when transfering all those games I typed in to disk from tape, I couldn't remember the filenames... well duhhhh... on the tape drives you just loaded it from the counter... lol.. there were no filenames!!

Oh yeah, also got a 7800 Atari game system that played the 2600 carts as well and 80 game cartridges (about 20 are 7800 games, the others are 2600) for it plus a ton of joy sticks including the track ball ones... you think anybody would be interested in it? lol..

We had a pong game, it also had bowling on it... if I remember correctly... it didn't last too long and we didn't get back into game systems until just last year when we purchased a Game Cube... course my son on the other hand has a PS & PS2 and then Game Boys... probably should of just hooked up the Atari... laugh..

Yeah probably, I remember switching from tapes to CDs as well. Heck I vaguely

remember 8-tracks I think they were called? Anyway I miss the Atari because I inherited

that from my oldest sibling along withthe original NES. You know how it seems that its the

youngest sibling that seems to damage stuff like this? Well didn't happen that way this

time. I let her take it because it had been awhile since I played it. Well she took it with her

and accidentally broke it. Now I don't know anywhere to get it reapired as it ssort of like

my cube and won't play games anymore. Ah well still having fun with other systems such

as Genesis. Oh well theres always room for the classics in my book.
