BuzzTron451 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yeah, I was wondering if there was ever a black version of the Atari 2600 consoles. I know there was a wood-framed model of the Atari 2600, but I was wondering if there was a black one. My long-time friend had one that was black. Is it rare, or is the wood-framed one rare? Thanx!
