    who had em and what were your fav games?
    on the 800/130 i loved "ally cat","spellbound" and lots more.
    on the 520 ftfm it has to be "carrier command"


    any old atari heads on here?

    Tong Po....I knew I knew you from somewhere:D



    My first ever console was a 2600 Junior, dodge 'em, pinball & jungle hunt were the games of choice for me :)

    o1s1n donated an old 2600 6 Switch Woody to me (non-working...for now), so hopefully I'll be able to get it up & running. I actually had NO Atari's up to now in my collection.

    I've a an 800xl (my first proper computer) , a 520 stfm and a 6 switcher vcs myself(have to try and find the psu off it though)
    I've about 50 vcs games and have the 800 hooked up to a PC running A.P.E. (a 1050 DD emulator)
    .Loves the atari stuff.(used to go on holidays to mosney when I was a nipper and I pretty much spent most of my time in the atari centre there (basically a room with 30 or so 800xls and a rake of games, plus a few 2600s thrown in))
    Probably my favorite game was the port of montezuma's revenge on the 800, that or zybex or Boulderdash.

    yeah, where i grew up it was either the vic 20- com 64-amiga route, the atari ladder of the 800,800xl,130 xe and the 520 stfm

    this is of course after coming up on the zx81 and the spectrum.

    rich buggers had the bbc micro and the amstrad cp464.
    the odd dude had an arcon electron.
