Adventures In Retro Computing - Unboxing A Cwap Load of Atari Computer Stuff - Part I

[surg23]

Good lord, this brought back some very fond memories from my childhood. Me and my bro used to play one of the old Atari XE models, not sure which model it was, but it looked very similar to that 65-XE you have.

Choplifter and Mario bros i will never forget. great stuff.

Did atari ever make tape drives specifically for the XE computers, or were the ones everyone used just XL drives. I like it when all my computer peripherals look similar.

@TeamRocketReviews Yep, they released the XC12 (in the same style and color as the XE line). I picked one up, brand-new in the original box, via Polish ebay, believe it or not! Works great!

Ogma01 can you please please tell me where I can get Atari 130XE I used to have that model as a kid I'm 28yrs old and I used to play and have all those consoles when my dad used to buy and play it too. So please tell me where I can buy them.

Wow! I remember those small brown Atari cartridges. I spent countless hours playing Missle Command & Centipede. I used the Basic cartridge to write computer programs. My computer Atari only lasted 3 years, it overheated & died! That was a sad day for me.

if you think the US post service isn't any good, look at the royal mail in the UK.

Now that's what I call "Good mail!" I have lot's of great memories with Atari. My first system was a TI-99/4A, but the one that will always remind me of good gaming is the Atari (2600/800/1040ST). Nice video!

Damn... I'm so sorry to give away my Atari 65XE with a Daisy Printer and Cassete Recorder, I used to do my scholl homework with Atari Writer... :-(

I can't wait for part 2.

[Ogma01]

Part II is slightly delayed... Rendering keeps locking up at 52% and I have NO idea why...  I'll have it sorted soon. Thanks for your comment!
