Edit_5 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Xmas 1980 was when I first got a taste for the ATARI, when I got a woody (not what you think )/heavy sixer/big sexy but out of all the models I still have a special place in my heart for my Darth Vader. I remember getting one for Christmas back in '82, as the original machine I had, had to go, we moved back to the UK and NTSC to PAL converters where non existent. I still have my Darth Vader, it still looks as good today as it did when I first got it, it's my favourite model, it just looks the dogs bollox I'm gonna have to borrow a digital camera and take some snapshots. I love my Darth Vader and I'm not scared to admit it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paralistalon Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 My first Atari was a 7800, so the 7800 is my favorite model. I got my first 2600 a month ago; it is the standard 4-switch model. I hand washed it, and seeing as how it's my first 2600, I'd say it's my favorite model. The wood grain adds a level of sophistication, and 6 switches are too much. The only thing I don't like about it is that the controller plug-in spot is on the back side of the machine. What kind of crack was the designer on, and what kind of crack was the person who OK'ed it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smile_walle Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I remembered, I got my first Atari 2600 Jr. at Christmas time in 1985. I still have Atari 2600 Jr. still works great. But later about weeks ago, I finally got Darth Vader, I like this alots than my Atari 2600 Jr.! I will find motherboard for my Darth vader, beacuse motherboard is dead. I love Darth Vader console!

Brad2600 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I have 3 Woodgrain models and a 2600jr model. First model I got in 1986 was a woody with the older RF connecting tips that connect to the older style switchboxes. Last time I used it, it worked like a dream. Now I have the 2600jr connected to my 13" TV along with a 5200 and 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 It's a tie between the Darth Vader model and the 6-switch woodgrain as my favorite model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptik76 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I have a Sears Telegames Video Arcade (or whatever the proper name is for it), with the six switches. I think it's the Rev. A. I'll have to dig it out of the closet sometime and find out exactly which model it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I currently have two heavy sixers. One's up for trade if anyone wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 ...and my favorite overall Atari system: the 5200 2 port. Aesthetically, it's the nicest looking of all Atari systems and the largest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorlaxnut Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I had a six-switch woodgrain model in the '80s. Now I just have a 4-switch woodgrain one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
