superhero1219 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I found a box full of atari games in my basement, but they are smaller than the games for the 2600. Does anyone know what console they would work with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I put my money on Intellivision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Do you have a pic or can you give us some of the game names? It could be several different systems from your description. Possibly the Atari 8bit computers, they have smaller cartridges as well. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Could also be C64. C64 and Intellivision use similar size boards, but most Intellivision carts are the familiar chisel shape. Atari-8 carts have a narrower board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhero1219 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 I remember there being Pole Position, Frogger, some 007 game, Chicken, among others... I don't have them in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Atari 8 bit computers? They are also pretty small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Most likely Intellivision. They're thinner and narrower than 2600 or Colecovision carts. 8-Bit Atari are similar, but are the same thickness, though they're somewhat shorter and narrower in dimension.

I think the Atari 8bit computers are the only ones all of those games came out for. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhero1219 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 I was trying to find pictures of the 8bit computers in hopes of jogging my memory. The only ones I found had Keyboards. It'S been a looong time, but I don't remember my old console having a keyboard. Anyway, thanks for the responses. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeguard Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Maybe you had an Atari XE / XEGS Game System that you had. It was an Atari 8bit computer that came out as a game system that played these carts. Do you remember big round pastel buttons by any chance? It had an optional keyboard available for it.
