Oldest of the companies is Atari, so it's on the top shelf.
Atari was formed in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, with Al Alcorn soon coming on as chief design engineer. Although the first location was in an industrial park at 2962 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, Atari later had both corporate offices and manufacturing in Sunnyvale. Most Atari equipment was produced in various locations in Asia, but the Pong consoles, the paddle controllers and some early console systems were produced in Sunnyvale.
My last pair of headphone broke, again... So this time I took some time to look for a pair that will last. I saw these and just fell straight away! The sound quality is brilliant, and well it's Atari! duh!

painted from the inside of the previously transparent case, after scouring with a brillo pad - smooth dusty bakelite appearance that is scratch-resistant. Knobs are output control (with shorting output jack next to it), and tone range. The only other thing is power toggle, far right.
Considering putting has an input on the back, so it can be driven by a CV sequencer.
*Also - converting this to play tritones. Actually that's probably totally the wrong term I'm looking for. A 3 note squarewave chord is probably more accurate. It's also fiendishly difficult for some reason.
From an art installation using my collection: sixteen different brands of Atari cartridges.
The ten-degree tilt clockwise you see when you look at the full image? That's an optical ilusion!
Atari later introduced an at home version of Pong in 1975. Found at: www.icheg.org/icheg-game-history/timeline/
An ebay-purchase in quite good condition. Consistent yellowing of course. But a good base for a Gotek floppy-emulator. ;-)

Didn't actually intend to upload this close-up of Mario on the 'pow' box from Atari 7800 Mario Brothers but it came out okay so what the hell.
Wee bit of trivia: Coleco was the one that put out the two Donkey Kong games for the 2600 under license from Nintendo, but in time the licensing changed; Atari itself released Mario Bros and re-released the DK titles for the 2600 under their name, and all Nintendo titles for the 5200 and 7800 only came out through Atari.

Atari 5200. Aside from the standard controls, there is also an Wico Command Control joystick and a Atari Trak-Ball Controller.

We took one of these posters home :) It is on our wall, under our autographed Atari Teenage Riot poster.
First time I've seen Slayer in 12 years (2 total). Second time I've seen Megadeth this year (2 total). First time I've seen Anthrax. These 3 bands were some of the first albums (and metal shirts) that I ever owned! What an amazing lineup!
