I would have been a sad little child anyways even if my parents liked the idea of me playing videogames back then.
I don't remember the price but my parents bought me one, I was only young, maybe 5. £200 for that, my microwave can do more! This was the version I had and my friend had this version
Pics are not showing. Spoiler This was yours correct? Spoiler ...and this was your friends? I owned both of those as well at one time think the Jr released in the '85 it was like the "slimline" of the 2600. I had one of these as well. Spoiler games were a bit better on it.
The pics are showing here??? HAHAHA look at that thing in the last pic! First time i saw one of those. What is it?
Oh gawd. I remember being in china and I was in someones house. They had an interesting game system with a monitor a keyboard very similar to the ones from 1995 except that you plugged games into the top of the keyboard. There were all sorts of games. like a donkey kong styled Shrek game and various fighting games.
Mine had this joystick, it also worked on the commodore amiga! seriously I had it for over 10 years and it never let me down.
Its an Atari 400 sorta a computer but played cartridges as well the games were more arcade quality than the 2600 by a long shot. almost NES quality especially with Pac-Man, Centipede, and Space Invaders. Ah, that goes to the Atari 7800! Spoiler
Damn this thing's pretty lame, yes it has 99% compatibility but look at some of the games left off: Kirby Super Star Kirby's Dream Land 3 Dungeon Master SD Gundam GX Top Gear 3000 Metal Combat Dragon Ball Z - Hyper Dimension Power Rangers Zeo - Battle Racers Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W - FAIL Super Mario RPG - FAIL Super Robot Wars Gaiden - FAIL Star Ocean Street Fighter Alpha 2 (USA/Europe) / Street Fighter Zero 2 (Japan) - FAIL I like these games & they're part of my SNES ROMs library, & this device doesn't support them? For $120USD this thing's a piece of crap And I'm guessing it also doesn't support the SuFami Turbo cartridges then eh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufami_Turbo
