It's an old video lol. Never played an atari 2600. I have played some Colecovision and Atari arcade games on the PS and PS2. Nothing beats playing arcade games at a movie theater, bowling ally etc.
@lmull3 Yeah I thought it was something like that. I just recently got Defender and Donkey Kong for it. I'm sure you've played DK before but you might want to check Defender out if you haven't played it before.
@lmull3 haha could be worth finding. Although it is pretty damn hard. Way too fast. Oh yeah & I saw the DK in the other reviews. I personally like the DK on NES a lot more.
@lmull3 The 6 switch model with the woodgrain is the oldest. In 1981 they changed to 4 switches, took off the woodgrain, and began officially calling it the 2600. It was originally intended to have 2 built-in speakers, but instead they made the sound go through the TV output. Early games have "stereo" sound for the intended built-in speakers. Some later games use the TV Type switch as a pause (move it to B/W to pause the game). And on the difficulty switches, A = Advanced and B = Beginner.
its a heavy sixer

Interesting, I got mine on Ebay in '03 too. And I ended up getting the exact same Game RF Switch. My Atari's the 4 switch version though.

i think that one was one of the 70's models. the one i got i'm pretty sure was a revision done in the early 80's.
