Which system do you like to play good ol' 2600 on?

[Cyber Bishop]

I mostly play via emulator, but once in a while I hook the coleco with the expansion port up and play on that.

 

Nice sig but not allowed here..........

 

Crap. Alrighty then.

I've had my 6-switch hooked-up at all times for a little while now.

Built like a tank, extremely reliable, and nostalgic as hell, that thing will outlive all CD-based gaming machines combined.

It's the best

Light 6er!

Well I chose even thought it was hard to do so.

I voted for the Stella emulator because it allows me to try out the new homebrews and that is something my Vader cannot do right now (I don't own a Krokocart or anything). It also allows me to play really rare games like Air Raid.

I have had my Vader since '82 and I love it so it comes in second.

Yikes! When I read the topic title, I figured "so that's maybe 2 2600s and the 7800?". Guess I forgot the numerous 2600 add-ons for various other systems.

 

That thing really was popular back in the day... >.>

The Good Old 4 Switch Woody is my favorite, like the difficulty switches in the back, and the board inside is more compact than its earlier model.

Mine is a Vader system, has treated me well for over 15 years...so that is my favorite.

Vader is my 1st choice,

 

Sears Video Arcade II 2nd.

 

My 4 Switch Woodgrain has stopped working,

 

while the Flashback II sits in the closet, and the

 

PC emulator works well, but no proper joysticks at this time.

 

I'd like another 4 switch woodgrain model. It reminds me of the original days

 

spent sitting on the floor with Adventure, Combat, Pitfall!, Defender,

 

Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

I've got a 4-switch Woody.

This thread is tough I would probably have to vote 7800 right now, but within a week or 2 it could be vader, jr, light sixer, etc. I have the 7800 as my main system right now because I've been playing some 7800 games, but once I(finally, I can be a procrastinator) modify my 6 switch for composite or s-video, that will be the main system. Not sure about others, but i have a tendency to do a bit of rotation every 6 months to a year.

 

The 7800 is a great machine to be the 'main' machine, though, as it's very versatile. There's a lot to be said, though, for having an Atari with some woodgrain on it (I would LOVE to have a heavy sixer, but unfortunately do not. I do have a light sixer and a 4 switch woody at least though..)

7800

Under emulation on my PSP

 

...in that order. Nothing beats the real hardware, well, except that it doesn't fit in a backpack so it's emulation for on the go gaming.
