Some of you may not know, but I LOVE the Atari 2600. I grew up with the console and still own one to this day. Today I visited an awesome game store called "Video Games New York." I was looking for an Atari 2600 cart as a gag on my co-worker. While digging through the treasures of the store I found E.T.- the worst game ever made. I always thought that thousands of unsold cartridges were buried in a New Mexican landfill. I guess that Urban legend is false. I may just keep the cart for myself and give it a whirl.

In ages past, before Al Gore invented the Internet in 1995, people had to go out to these buildings called "Stores" to shop for video games. One of these "Stores" was called Sears, and while you could buy riding lawnmowers and ladies undergarments there, you couldn't buy Atari games. Why not? Because they didn't sell Atari games. They sold "Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade" games. They looked like Atari games. They felt like Atari games. They ran on a system that looked an awful lot like an Atari. In fact, they even ran on a system that WAS an Atari, yet they weren't Atari games, they were Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade games.

You see, for reasons known only to licensing and branding attorneys in the 1970's, Sears and Atari decided that it would be a good idea to brand all of the Atari stuff (Systems, games, the works) as "Tele-Games Video Arcade" for sale in Sears. The games are identical to the Atari versions, but have different packaging and labeling. In some cases, even the titles have been changed. There were even a handful of Atari produced games that were released exclusively on the Sears Tele-Games label.

Not content to simply confuse the masses by rebranding Atari games, Sears later released the "Tele-Games Super Video Arcade" system and games for it. The Super Video Arcade was actually an Intellivision clone.

Atari 2600 - Air Sea Battle

Explore: May 31, 2008 (#422)

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 add this to the collection, even with a minor seal breach

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.

Asterix is a video game, launched in 1982 for the Atari 2600 video game console.

The game was essentially a European adaptation of the Taz platform game, made by replacing the Taz sprite with a sprite which vaguely resembles Asterix's head.
