This Hall of Strange presentation highlights the return of a once super-popular 8 bit video game system known as the Atari 2600. It came with two paddles/game controllers, and hooked to your television set. It, along with so many other game systems, provided hours and hours of fun manipulating barely recognizable blocky shapes across the screen.
This game is a 2005 re-issue of that popular system. It looks and acts very much like the original that was first released nearly 30 years before (1977). Unlike it’s predecessor, this console comes with 40 games built inside it’s cabinet.
The original Atari offered games in a bewildering array of titles that came in cartridge form which you plugged in to the slot on top.
This re-issue includes such titles as: Asteroids, Pitfall, Centipede, Yar’s Revenge, Maze Craze, Adventure, Lunar Lander, Missle Command, Outlaw, Combat, River Raid, Pong, Haunted House, Space Duel, Millipede, Hangman, Atari Climber, Fatal Run, Yar’s Return, Radar Lock, Secret Quest, Aquaventure and more.
