Basketball is an Atari 2600 game based on the sport of the same name. The game features a simple game of one-on-one basketball, playable by one or two players.
At the start of the game, both players are at the center of the court. A jump ball is thrown between them, at which point play begins. The offensive player (the one with the ball) always faces the goal he's shooting at, and the defensive player always faces his opponent. Each player can move in eight directions with the joystick; the player with the ball constantly dribbles it. The defensive player may steal the ball when it leaves the opponent's hands (either in mid-dribble or mid-shot).
After either player scores, the shooter is reset to the center of the court, and the defender is set under the net to rebound the ball. The player with the highest score after four minutes is the winner.

This was our team for Parsons School Of Design's Retro Redux, which challenged participants to design an Atari 2600 game completely from concept to completion in less than 24 hours. We all brainstormed the concept then my duties were to create the sound and music as well as level design. I also photoshopped a concept cartridge for our game.
The game was titled Lugsy and was about a car who ate luggage. The goal was to eat so much luggage that you would grow heavy and fall through the earth all the way to the other side and then continue falling till you reached Australia Heaven. It was beautiful.
We all wore significantly different colors to represent flavors... Fruit Punch, Grape, Strawberry & Cherry.
The Arcadia Supercharger (Later called the Starpath Supercharger, after Emerson threatened to sue because the original name was too similar to the name of their terrible Arcadia 2001 console) is an interesting little device for the Atari 2600. It lets you hook your Atari up to a standard tape player and load up games from a cassette tape. Some Supercharger games had detailed graphics and even multiple loading segments which allowed the games to be very large when compared to their cartridge based counterparts. Some games used the extra space to have demos of other Supercharger games.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to note is that with a few tweaks, the Supercharger allows you to turn your MP3 player into a near complete library of Atari 2600 games.

When Charley's Mom told me she was going to send his Atari 2600 my way after it being in the closet for 25+ years, I had no idea she had the original box to the console, which looks to be in good condition.

Sealed, but with a plastic tear in the front - all things considered, it's still in great shape given its age...
Acquired in Bellevue
Thrilled to finally have a sealed version of Atari's Basic.
Note: Heavy thick plastic encases both the sealed box and the Atari basic book that's behind it.
Amazed to find a this artifact in great condition at a used book store...
Unfortunately, the price stick had to remain on as it would damage the artifact if removed.
Surprise find...sealed. The box is a little banged up on the bottom which made it difficult to get a good 1200 DPI from it. A digital camera was used instead...
Joystick from the 80th. Every C64, Amiga and AtariST- Nerd knows thiz peace of stick! Sometimes we had so fix the microswitches inside, while playing Galaga a.k.a. Warblade ... But I am sure, you remember :-)
Der Kult-Joystick aus den Achtzigern: Competition Pro! Damals mit Trapez-Stecker, und seit ein paar Jahren wieder erhältlich als USB-Version, um Retro-Games zu spielen. Leider hat die Montage eine geringe Auflösung, da ich den Joystick schon vor etlichen Jahren mit einer Kompaktkamera geknipst habe.

The city of Ukiah has absolutely no idea what old video games are worth. I got the Atari 2600, official carrying case and a ton of different controllers (not pictured) for, I think, $20. The games, in their boxes, were a buck each.
Mike Bison playing a set on the stage. Their instruments consisted of a tiny drumset that looked almost like a toy drumset, and an Atari 2600 with SynthCart. They even had the TV doing the "light show" mode. It was mesmerising. And quite strange.
They also plugged in their equipment and played a lot from the Roundhouse/Fire Shrine area.
There was ONE sample that they repeatedly played, and that we heard a good 50 times throughout our time at X-Day. It consisted of a voice saying: "Tonight I'm gonna get so fucking drunk, and smoke so much dope and cigarettes... It's gonna be awesome." Now I want that sample for my own!
And thanks to the Mike BisonMySpace page, I finally found out "Rev. Madlib's" real name is Nick Perry. :P He kept giving a different answer everytime anyone talked to him. He even claimed to be from Alaska at one point.
BACKSTORY: After 20 years of interest in the Church Of The SubGenius, I finally got to go to X-Day! Praise "Bob"! A SubGenius MUST have SLACK -- and I was finally getting it when needed the most.
Nick, Phil.

Although sealed, the box is pretty banged up. Unfortunately, the 1200DPI scan was unsuccessful and reverted to the digital camera
