I have an old Atari 2600 in my bedroom. It's a fun system.

Please, Lavenderrose73, nostalgia is great...but better than Nintendo? I'd rather play Nintendo 64's Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time than anything on my old Atari system.

You're right, though, the memories are nice. I just prefer to keep them as memories! :)

I hope the Powerhouse Museum gets to hold the Game On! exhibition that has spent summer in Brisbane, after the successful run in Melbourne last year, with more retro consoles than you can poke a stick at! The exhibition also has all these old arcade machines, like Space Invaders...

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! That SOOO brings back some childhood memories! I STILL prefer Atari to ANYTHING that came after it, even Nintendo. I may be stuck in a time warp or something, but as far as I'm concerned, if it isn't Atari, it isn't... !
