I have a working Atari 2600 with two joysticks. I picked it up at a yard sale for two dollars with the intention of gutting it and installing a motherboard in it and making a very cool MAME box. I was actually surprised when I plugged it in and it worked. Only game is Asteroids.

As with most of my project ideas, it never got off the ground. I want it to stay in geek hands, so rather than sell it at a yard sale, I'm offering it here.

All I ask is that the buyer reimburse me for actual shipping costs via paypal. Only available to members of this forum who have made at least one post before this was posted. First one to PM me gets it.

Made me think of something Wil Wheaton said during his PAX keynote.

"I have every Atari 2600 game ever made...

... on a USB key in my pocket."

If he wanted to, he could have every NES game, Atari, Genesis, SNES, Arcade (pre drive based), Commadore 64, etc ad nauseum. Crazy huh?

Playing NES on my iPhone is really strange when I step back and look at it in perspective. It really does feel like living "in the future" sometimes doesn't it?
