In 1986, a new version of the 2600 was released (although it was planned for release two years earlier). The new redesigned version of the 2600, unofficially referred to as the 2600 Jr., featured a smaller cost-reduced form factor with a modernized Atari 7800-like appearance.
Don't forget to checkout www.retrocomputers.eu for more info about my retro computer collection.
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.
Atari's 8 bit computer were never really famous in Sweden. As far as I can recall the first time I really heard about Atari and their home computer was probably in 1988 or something, and then it was the Atari ST.
I've might have spotted an 8bit Atari at a computer party around that time, but I never saw one close up or played around with one until the end of 2011, when I got this one from a Swedish auction-site.
This is the Atari 600 XL, a 6502 based 8bit computer from the early eighties with Swedish characters. Unfortunately the keyboard is broken on this one, the circuit board got a crack in it and several of the switches for the keys are broken and would need repairing. Apart from that it seems to work OK, I got it with a cartridge game and that one runs nicely on it.
This one is now sold as I was lucky to get an 800 XL for free. It will have a new life with a new keyboard.
Today's score from a thriftstore for a very tasteful price. Note the Allia Quest (2001) which is still $25 from AtariAge.com's online store.
When I started the series Atari I had no intention of doing anything too elaborate.
The Atari had nothing very elaborate everything was simple and fun.
It was really cool to join the two most fun things of my childhood Lego and Videogame, You will now be forever immortalized here on Flickr.

Thriftstore is closing the local location and they're selling everything for pennies on the dollar. No accessories or games were found nearby, but I have a set already so this will be my spare. :)
This was part of Atari's second series of home computers, following on from the 400, 800 and 1000XL. I still like the futuristic styling.
The Atari 2600 went on to become the first incredibly popular home console system, paving the way for Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft. This prototype is from 1975 and was built by Steve Mayer and Ron Milner.

The Atari XEGS was released in 1987 and is basically an Atari 65XE with detachable keyboard. The main purpose was as a gaming console being able to Atari XL/XE-games.
I got this one mainly because the keyboard of the 600XL was broken and I was a bit curious on Ataris 8-bit computers.
When designing the postcards advertising our 2012 Atari Party, we realized we wanted a picture of a bunch of atari cartridges on end. Unfortunately, all the Creative Commons ones we could find disallowed commercial use.
So we dug out some of our Atari cartridge collection and took some photos.
We intended to do two photo shoots - one to do the general planning, one to get the exact right photo. This was the best alignment photo we had but was annoyingly blurry. Testing on the postcard, we realized that the blur actually helped by making sure the text overlaid on top of it was more readable, so we ended up not doing a second shoot.
Maybe someone else will find it useful as well!

I like how they picked one joystick with an orange ring and another one without.

This is one of my Atari Portfolios, which I acquired in 2010. Well used by it's previous owner, but still works as it should. Have got an parallel-interface, extra memory and some other accessories for it now.
