Year: 1981
Model Number: ORG 400
For: Atari 2600 Game Cartridges
This is an unopened bookshelf storage case for Atari 2600 game cartridges. It holds 8 games. Charley never used it.
This is the back (previous photo is the front), which you can find the correct label or labels for your game and peel the sticker off and place it on the game program case.
The CX-40 Joystick for the Atari 2600. Classic. Iconic. Historic. And a little uncomfortable these days. Also, as far as I can tell, this is the only controller that specifically tells you which way is the “Top”.

Console: Atari 2600
Model: CX-2600
Switches: Six Switch
Made In Taiwan
Supplies: Cloth, 91% rubbing alcohol, craft foam sheet, and scissors (not pictured)
The previous photo shows what I use to dust the motherboard and cartridge connector. This photo shows how (and what I use) to clean the cartridge connector on the motherboard of the Atari 2600.
I soak 91% rubbing alcohol on the edge (your top) of the craft foam sheet, which you'll have to cut down in order to fit it inside the cartridge connector.
I then place the craft foam sheet into the cartridge connector and go back and forth with a bit of pressure on the plated contacts.
If you're afraid to take your Atari apart (like I have) you don't have to in order to clean the cartridge connector. Just follow the same steps with your Atari intact.
Wait 5 minutes for the cartridge connector to dry and put your Atari 2600 back together.
NOTE: The cartridge connector is nailed/built onto the motherboard.
The Atari 2600 - release October 1977
The Sony Playstation 3 - released November 2006
That's almost 3 decades of video game console development.
Bought this from a Sarasota/Bradenton retro game store... there's nothing more annoying when stores place stickers directly to the box, thus ruining them!
Goes without saying that this image was HEAVILY altered to fix the sticker tears and general damage...
Bit-based abstract design I made on hardboard featuring Scott Pilgrim posed with his Love Blade.
The question remains however, can he defeat....HIMSELF?
