RockLobster Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of George eating his candy bar with a knife and fork. "George, what are you doing?" "Why, I'm eating my desert. How do you eat it? With your hands?" atari2600-rga-video-game-brain.mp4 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye68 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 For such a "luxury" item, these were pretty widely available. I found a K-Mart ad from my local paper from Oct 1984. Post-crash, it was going for $8.97. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Some serious false advertising in there; as they describe the Atari 5200 as a “compact” game system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's compact if you get rid of 1/4 of the volume with those stupid controller holders in the back But I guess your controllers being neatly stowed was the popular thing in during that era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
