corrick Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 what do i need to hook up my atari 2600? i dug my atari 2600 out of my basement and want to play it again. i think i am missing a cable of some sort. i have the cable that is attached to the backside and ends in an rca tip. do i need some sort of converter? i tried plugging that in to the video-in on my tv but had no luck. i'm sure y'all know.... thanks for reading my newbie-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candiru Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Welcome to AtariAge! Here you go. The adapter, available here at AtariAge or at Radio Shack, will give you the best picture because it goes straight into your TV but an old school switchbox can be handy because it allows you to switch easily between game/TV. Stick around, AA is a fun website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 No, THIS is the stupidest question ever asked on Atari Age. "Can I nail fried eggs to my forehead, then hit myself over the head with the pan I fried 'em in, or is that gonna hurt a little?"

AtariDude Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 No, THIS is the stupidest question ever asked on Atari Age. "Can I nail fried eggs to my forehead, then hit myself over the head with the pan I fried 'em in, or is that gonna hurt a little?" JR Just like the question of how many licks does it take to reach the center of a tootsie roll pop, the world may never know the answer to that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
