Who had an Atari?

Oh ya! Atari 2600. My favorite game was Defender! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] Jees, that was like 1982 or so... man.

We had our first programming class in school on those Timex Sinclairs (wow, I really am dating myself).

Kakero, where did you see a 500-in-1? All I've seen is 80-in-1 (only runs about $20 American).

Try Ebay, they always have auctions there for those old computers...

Does anyone who had a C-64 also have a cassetteplayer for it to load in the games...? Oh my, the wait meant you could read a book or do your homework, then play.
Actually my tapeplayer broke down and in the end it was about 90% chance that the game I was waiting to load would crash... and I had to rewind to start again... [img]smile.gif[/img]
What a great wonderful invention the Floppy disk was to me when I got the Atari... [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL...I had that thing, and man was it a pain! Used to always have problems with it. I was so glad when I updated to that big old 5.4" floppy drive (big old heavy clunky thing, but was so much more reliable).
