So I placed an order just a week ago for an electrical switchbox that goes for the equipment you see below

Yep, I inherited an Atari 2600 with two stick controllers, two paddle controllers, and four games, all with their original boxes and manuals. Not a speck of dust has graced a single part of the console, controllers, and games. After plugging in the TV/game switchbox(the only piece that actually was missing when I got the stuff), the thing worked like a charm.

I think I'm due to inherit a ye olde Pong console from the early 70s. It seemed to be in reasonably good condition 10+ years ago and I doubt it's been used since.

Anyway no Atari 2600 is complete without Yar's Revenge. And Adventure. And Pepsi Invaders.

Pretty much every game on the 2600 has aged badly, and the system did lead to the American video game crash of 1983, but it certianly has a huge library of games, so if you don't mind all that you could be entertained for hours.

The problem is, all of Atari's games for the 2600 have been released on compilation packs on other platforms, and those compilations have a habit of costing less than all the cartridges.
