Wow, I had one of these, the Atari 2600! My first every owned IT-related stuff. I remembered playing Space Invaders, Pacman, Battlezone and Haunted Mansion on this. I used to have it plugged to a B&W TV, too! My mom bought this from a neighbour some 20 over years back. I still remembered having to buy new joysticks as these often broke quite easily. I must have been an Atari fan because after that, I bought the 3-in-1 Atari 520ST (PC DOS+ Apple OS + Atari OS in one, though I think it was really a con job because running DOS on it was really, really, really disappointingly slow, not so sure about the Apple OS).Source: Retro Thing "The Atari 2600 celebrates 30 years of low-rez fun" via Engadget
