On September 11, 1977, 46 years ago, Atari revolutionised the gaming world by releasing the Atari 2600, originally known as the Atari VCS (Video Computer System).
What set it apart was its use of ROM cartridges for storing game code. Instead of having games built into the gaming system, players could now switch cartridges to access different games

Holy hell this is impressive for an #Atari2600 / #AtariVCS game. If you aren't familiar with the console it may not be obvious, but everything about this game is impressive for this hardware. #WizardofWor #retrogaming https://youtu.be/xIkkq2udZwI

Little something for the #Atari2600 tonight. Came up at a really good price and you know... snail (although tbh the snail looks like a hippo crossed with a moomin 😆)

I just packed up my #Intellivision and re-hooked up my #ColecoVision. (space issues) I couldn’t find my Atarimax flash cart, so I had to go on a dig. Here’s a shoebox full of old #atarivcs /#Atari2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision games. That’s not all. I have a lot more, but that’s what you get for now. #retrogaming

Just made some replacement panels for my #Atari Game Center. Not perfect, but do the job, and don't look too bad. Will upload the .stl file to thingiverse if/when it ever lets me log in again 😡

Well time to see how the #atarivcs does as a Linux gaming machine. I did try to be fair with the game selection and kept them from at least spec requirement wise around the PS3 era of gaming.
Cheapo smartwatch from eBay = hours of fun making watch faces 😄 Have turned the 'you need to move' notifications off though, they were getting annoying 🤣🤣
