Unbeliever Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just wanted to know if you ladies and gentleman out there are having an "Atari" Christmas. As in getting Atari-related gifts, giving Atari-related gifts, decorating with some Atari themes for Christmas, playing holiday Atari games, or whatever makes the holiday more "Atari" for you. Post your stories here, or what you're up to with Christmas fast approaching and Atari at your fingertips. Me? I'm just making sure to lovingly play my light sixer every day for an hour or so with a variety of games. My new tradition is playing Asteroids and Space Invaders on Christmas morning, as those were two games I got from my parents one particularly "Atari" Christmas (still have the original Atari my Dad got me all those years ago and it works like brand new). Post pictures if you got them, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I have a morning (and night before) "schedule" of Atari gaming layed out. It won't be a long session, but just enough to enjoy the memories and good times. 400/800 - Star Raiders & Defender VCS - Asteroids, Missile Command, Combat, Slot Racers, Air-Sea Battle, Canyon Bomber, Video Pinball, Video Chess. These are games I felt, at the time, were magic. Especially Video Chess. Video Chess was cool because me and my buddies would gang up against the VCS. Once I got good enough I could (and still do) whip the computer's ass on any level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic George 2K3 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 No Atari Christmas here. Just glad that Doomsday didn't come like people thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sega_SHARK Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just ordered Pac-man 4k and Berzerk voice enhanced! Atari christmas will be late, but worth it. You're gonna love a Yurkie system. I just won Video Chess CIB on eBay for less than $10 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari5200dude82 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I am going to play the Atari 5200 games on Christmas Day. Just bought a few nice games for the system. Can't wait for Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I can't decide if I should open up a sealed Flashback 4. Of course I assume that playing Polaris will lead to too much thinking and sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Would it be sacrelige if I threw in some Apple II gaming and general computing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 been awhile since I got anything atari related about two xmases ago I believe I got some pajamas with atari all over them.

Unbeliever Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Would it be sacrelige if I threw in some Apple II gaming and general computing? Naw. Gaming is gaming, especially retro gaming! It's Christmas after all. And the Apple II has some great gaming on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I *watched* E.T. today. Damn, that's a harsh movie for kids. And sentimental 43 year old drunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I planned on it, but instead got all the Judge Dredd Case Files books (1-16). I've spent all day reading about MEGA CITY-1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I got three of the Atari Hot Wheels! Very cool and completely unexpected. Having never seen those in my life, I think I just wet my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
