This is completely nerd chic right here - a WW2 Enigma encoding machine, recreated in Atari 2600 by Mark VandeWettering. He's a programmer by trade in the film industry, with a soft spot for silly coding challenges like this.
Mark sits with his Atari, and his custom 2600 cartridge featuring his recreation of a WW2 German Enigma machine.
Atari is selling new stuff for their old 2600 game console. The 2600+, pictured here, is the update to their 2600 and 7800 systems. The original 2600 was introduced in 1977 and discontinued in 1992, a rather long life for a game system. This update is actually a modern 32-bit computer that runs the games with an emulator, but loads the games from a cartridge first.
New cartridges are also being sold. Both blue ones contain multiple games and use dip switches to select the game. The green one is Berzerk, and includes voice taunts from the robots. The orange one is Mr. Run and Jump, a new game for the old system.

Found my first console the other night. Decided to shoot it.
