Above: Atari 7800, the real thing, and its CrampLine ProLine joystick.
Below: Atari Flashback model one, which looks like a 7800 and plays 5 games from it (Asteroids, Centipede, Desert Falcon, Food Fight, Planet Smashers) plus 15 more (including HSW's unreleased Saboteur). Lacking paddle controllers, Warlords and Breakout were modified for joystick use.
I've seen the question bantered about: if the plug of the detachable Flashback controllers is a D-9 like the original Atari stick, does it function in the place of an Atari stick? Answer: I don't think so. I tried Adventure and the only thing I could get to happen was that the block moved down when the left button was pushed -- the stick part didn't do anything. What is said in Wikipedia about purists not liking the ports on the Flashback is true, they're close but not the true versions. Like in Adventure, they used samples of the original for some parts (like the peww! when slaying a dragon) but others were brand new sound schemes... the one I dislike is in Asteroids, where moving the joystick moves you to a point like you were driving on the ground, rather than continuing endlessly in zero-gravity/zero-resistance space, and I'm not liking this port of Food Fight because of how little motion control you have.

My first real computer, my Atari 400. Still works perfectly. Upgraded to 48K and B-Key full stroke keyboard. An 800XL I picked up a few years ago at a thrift store is to the left.
The Atari 8-bit family is a series of 8-bit home computers manufactured from 1979 to 1992. All are based on the MOS Technology 6502 CPU and were the first home computers designed with custom coprocessor chips.
Designed to look like a friendly typewriter, the Atari 800 is an expandable system with two easily accessable cartridge ports under a front cover, and a removable top with four expansion slots inside.
Please take a look at www.retrocomputers.eu for more info about my retro computer collection.
This was 1983, when everyone had an Atari 2600, you knew someone with an Atari 1200XL home computer, some folks were pondering getting an Atari 5200 console, and these products cost over a hundred dollars so you'd want them repaired if they went wonky.
Photo of an Atari 2600 Video Computer System. This particular unit was from their second run of manufacture. According to the serial number, it was made in Taiwan circa 1979. This unit spent a lot of time with its original dust cover over it (also emblazoned with the Atari logo), so it's in nearly perfect condition.
One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
I came along my Atari Falcon on Sweden's biggest online flea-market "Blocket" in 2011. Someone was selling an Atari Falcon with a 1 GB SCSI-harddrive, Cubase Audio and the Steinberg FDI, a unit that allows you to record sound directly to hard disk with the Falcon. Not many computers could do this back in the beginning of the 1990ies when the Falcon came, and those that could costed a fortune compared to the Falcon. I got all this for a real bargain price.
Before I bought this one I had put away my other Ataris in a storage room, and I guess I never really thought I'd ever own any of the computers I had dreamt of back in the 1990ies when I was a die-hard Atari fan. But buying this computer I realised that I now could buy all these computers that I dreamt of back then. So it is in reality the foundation of my current collection of retro computers.
It was in really excellent condition when I bought it. It even has the protecting plastic film over the logotype still. Since the guy I bought it from had used it for running Cubase Audio it had the internal hard disk removed, so I got a IDE-CF adapter for it. The clock battery was dead and the original fan was noisy so I also replaced these parts, and I also got a memory upgrade for it, a whopping 14 MB.
Atari ST tillverkades mellan 1985 och 1993, och var en hemdator som främst konkurrerade med Amiga 500 från Commodore. Den fanns i ett par olika modeller där den största skillnaden var mängden minne som datorn levererades med. Exempelvis fanns 520ST och STe och 1040ST och STe bestyckade med 512 respektive 1024kb minne vardera. I vissa modeller kunde man köpa till extra minne och montera själv. STe-modellerna utmärkte sig främst genom att dom var utrustade med "Blitter"-chip, större färgpalett och ljudchip med stöd för "DMA".

Atari 2600, check! Impossibly white jeans, check! Seizure inducing BMX wallpaper, check! A photo from my joyous youth. Proof indeed that I grew up in the 1980s.

I bought my Atari Jaguar in 2003, they were hard to find even back then. This one was brand new, and never unpacked, the console itself was still in its sealed bag. The box had seen better days though. The unique thing about this one is that it came with a SCART-cable and had no RF-modulator. Usually they came with the RF-modulator and antenna cable, you had to buy the SCART-cable separately.
I got it with 7 games, all in shrink wrapped boxes.

I keep it ready to use, but haven't used it for some time, as I am taking a bread from gaming. Taken on 20 April 2014, taken with Elikon 35c.
Found a handful of Atari 2600 cart manuals while cleaning out the backroom, they were all in pristine condition thanks to putting them in an old schoolbook.
