[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 In other words, am I the only person who uses the FB2 as an FB2 excusively? I know a bunch of you bought extras to keep them in the box(I would have, but didn't have the cash), and some of you bought seconds/thirds so you'd have one to modify. I now have a working 2600, 5200, and 7800. I didn't need to modify my FB2(although I did entertain the idea before I knew my 2600 wasn't shot... and I didn't have the 7800 yet). I'm glad it was made "chopable", since many of us may have needed to do it, or just wanted to for the sake of "doing it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 We have one set up at a TV for visiting kids to play since it's dummy-proof. But if legacyengineer.com makes a new Atari 2600 clone within the next year or two, I'll be buying a few of those and a few Chimera cartridges and the FB2 will get packed up.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I use mine as originally intended! I had it before any way to play Atari classics, now I have a SEARS VIDEO ARCADE II though it it may start getting dusty (though I may use the joysticks LOL!)

mimo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Still boxed, with security seal intact Maybe I'll open it in 20 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorisabouttodie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have one and I take it out now and then. I have real bad luck with 2600's (been through about 3 of them) so the only working original 2600 I have is a heavy sixer and I keep it stored because I am afraid to wear it out!!! When I get a 2600 urge, I pull out the FB2, unfortunately many of the games I yearn for aren't on it... :-( I know Curt actually tried, but I wished he succeeded in getting Bezerk on the FB2, man would that be awesome, also the original Asteroids instead of the ugly one would of been nice, but I am not complaining the FB2 is awesome and well worth what I paid at QVC when it came out. It's also the best thing from Atari since the Jaguar, although I do like N+ for the Nintendo DS. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 At Legacy we have so many of them we use them as doorstops, parking spot markers, balls for pickup soccer games, frisbees, and even the occasional fort. The best is when Curt and I stand on highway overpasses and chuck them over at unsuspecting cars screaming "Have you played Atari today f***ers?!?!?!"

keilbaca Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have an opened, unmodded FB2! But, I normally use just the joysticks on my Atari. I should hook up the FB2 to my setup in the living room... it'll fit nicely in there ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, if you are tossing free FB2's, I'm all OVER that! (Sure, I'll use them.... give some to friends, get them interested(read: hooked on Atari games, and soon enough, collecting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to convince them that games are worthless, and you would be glad to take them off their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nah... this is a young guy. I'm preparing someone to take over collecting from us older folks. (besides, I can sell him my duplicates.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
