Bob brought a modified Atari 1200XL computer with a built-in CompactFlash drive. Here, he tests it out by playing text adventures. We'll have a better picture of that console later.
• CIB
• Console throughly cleaned, minute detail
• Rebuilt controllers - xxx parts used - tested and function 100%, but not used
• Box in great condition, collectors will appreciate
• only flaw (this is nitpicking) faint scratch on smoked plexiglass cover
This was the next to last iteration of the Atari 2600. Commonly called "Vader" because of the black front panel replacing the woodgrain on the earlier models.
In 1981 I got this little box of fun,
From my father to his son: my future had begun.
Gripping joystick in my hand, I knew I was the guy-
Born to save the land from the missiles in the sky!
And in Pitfall? I answered Harry's call-
To help him get away from scorpions & rolling logs.
Now I didn't get the patch... But still I grew attached-
Yes the screen was full of blocks and falling barrels Kong dispatched.
But Donkey Kong met his match when I made it to the top-
And I rocked the highest score with the princess that I got!
Now these memories must endure- so I promise Pac-Man ghosts-
Will have a place forever more in every drawing that I post!
Before the operation.
Atari had a stye on his eyelid for 2 months now. The doctor decided on draining it, but he wanted to sedate Atari. It's Atari's first operation.

My Atari 2600 went missing about ten years ago. Then, on vacation in Ukiah, California, I stumbled upon a whole ton of Atari stuff which I snapped up for a bargain price. Then, right after coming home from that trip, my dad called. He'd been moving into a new house, and while cleaning up a long-forgotten closet, he found my 2600 and the game cartridges. I went without one for a decade, and now I've got two different 2600 models and 78 games.
So I modded my Xbox 360 wireless controller with the 2600 joystick running through it so I can play many of the great XBLA games the way I played similar games while growing up on the Atari 2600.

Every day at sunset as the border-crossing between India and Pakistan is closed there is a ceremony on each side of the border. Indan women ran back and forth with their flag and the border guards marched. The crowed cheered as if it were a sports game. Afterwards these girls rushed to us in order to get pictures of Eva, one of my fellow travellers who has long blond hair and bright skin color.
