Well, today at a garage sale, I saw something I just had to have. An Atari with some games and controllers and all the hook ups. So I paid the whole $10 and took it home, all ready to play some Donkey Kong and Pac-man. It doesn't work. I guess I could always find another one to play my awesome games on.

Should of figured, it was on sale for a reason. If you see an electronic in a yard sale, the chances are it wont work. You can always open the case and tinker with some wires and possibly fix it. I havent layed hands on an Atari in many a year.

Want mine? Probably wont bother trying to fix it. I also got a set of golf clubs and a golf bag (genuine leather) for another $10. I guess maybe I broke even?

Well it's not a great loss .. 10$, but yeah that would kill the moment.

*plug in the cords, slap in the game, turn on TV, turn on the system.*

Blue screen of death? What is this, the Microsoft Atari? Or just a beta version of Windows 78?

I wish I could find my old Atari 2600 again...last I saw it was in 2001.

Did you know that Atari 2600 joysticks are compatible with Commodore 64 joysticks? I knew that because we had both systems and often used the same joysticks for each...
