tradyblix Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Did you get that directly from atari? Because it's still sold out on amazon and has been the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Atari website has them available. It seems a little awkward trying to find items specific to 2600+. On the website click Atari 2600+ then at the top red bar click shop, scroll down and you should see all the items available. Amazon appears to be out of stock.

Bitsized Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Now I'm waiting for my Butcher Billy XP box set: (2600: Fatal Run, Dark Chambers, Save Mary, and OUTLAW) to arrive and all will be alright in my Atari Universe. Well then it's the next Atari 50 update, maybe some homebrews, etc... laugh emoji 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 My 7800 loot came in! The packaging is top notch. It's way better than the OG 7800 packaging. The CX78+ is also way better than the OG CX78, with a better feel, d-pad and buttons. Thank to Atari, Plaion and everyone involved in bringing these back. 😎👍 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I ordered a controller grip from Retro Game Boyz. It'll be nice to have that. I already have one of his gamepads that I got last year. It's the preferred method I use for playing 2600 games on the Plus. I've also used it on my 7800 as well. This is what the grip looks like. https://retrogameboyz.com/products/rubberized-grips-for-nintendo-nes-004-and-retrogameboyz-control-pads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well and looks great next to the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that they do comunícate with you during the build process. I don’t know about whether they ship to the UK, but you can contact them here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetmanUK Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) 16 hours ago, shane857 said: How quickly do they ship and do they deliver to the UK? 🤔 I am in the UK and purchased the Robotron controller (slightly customised) from them. Looking through my emails I ordered it on the 26th Feb and received it on the 25th March. Before I ordered though I had to register to wait for the 'slot' so I could actually place the order, this was very short for me, I think a day or two, but I assume if he is busy it could be longer than I experienced. Regardless it wasn't a bad wait and the controller is great. Edited July 1 by JetmanUK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the Champ Games website, you can see which games work on the 2600+ by reviewing each game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Anybody still got one of these? Think they came with the original VCS console back in the day. More importantly, is the £1 offer still valid and can I redeem it on Atariage store? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
