Ohhh, I used to rent Atari 2700 too.*
Never Heard of it?! :blink:

Thought I'd owned all of the Atari's at one point or another too? [/b][/quote]
Atari 2600 would be correct. But it was not regular Atari, as it had many games programmed in to it, and there was a switch to change them. I believe it was not very legal, but when you rent the console, you like to play as many games as you can.

Sort of like the new "old-atari" joysticks they sell in ToysRUs. 50/60 games on them that you plug straight into your TV. Donkey Kong at the touch of a button

The temptation has nearly got the better of me a few times, but I still own the originals

Yes, somthing like that, just instead of nice cover, it had some ugly cover with some really old and odd switches. :blink:

Speaking of DTV (Direct to TV) systems, this one looks nice: C64 DTV

Yeah, I was the same... I remember my dad going down to Dixons and buying an Atari 520stFM on credit. He paid a fortune for that thing, but it was worth it. But then the 1040STe came out not long after.

Whatever happened to the Atari Falcon? I remember seeing it on "Bad Influence" with Andy Crane and Violet Berlin gabbing onabout how great it was?! (Sorry anyone not from the UK (or under 20ish) who doesn't know what I'm talking about)

I'm 16 now (17 in a few weeks), but started playing games around the age of about 3. First game I remember playing was probably Space Quest I, King's Quest II or Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures. Heh, I learned how to read with DOS commands
