Atari 7800 since it plays Atari 7800 and 2600 games. And my Atari 1200 XL since it's awesome.

Anyone who knows, knows you need an original Atari 800 (plays the most old-school games) and I'll take a Heavy Sixer because I hate the cartridge slot and looks of the 7800.

This question pits my logical side against my emotional side! On one hand, it seems easy, the 7800 for its games and 2600 compatibility, and then a 130XE for all the 8-bit stuff with a little extra RAM for the things that use it. But then I think....I really am fond of the Jaguar! And I always dreamed of having a TT030 or a Falcon.
But in the end, since I will be stuck with just my choices for all eternity, I will say 7800 and 130XE. They just cover so many bases!

Hi MaximumRD, my choice of Atari for me is the Atari STE 1040 4MB Upgraded =)
-
2600 Jr & 800XL :)
-
@MN12BIRD Heck if you have an 800XL, you don't even need any other Atari's. :)
-
7800 and 130XE for me :-)
-
I'm quite a big fan of the heavy sixer myself (though the darth vader is quite nice too ;) and as for the computer, I'd have to go with the 600XL as it was the first Atari computer I ever got :D
-
Atari 800 and the Atari Jaguar, people crap on the Jaguar but I love that system!
-
Cool tag, i'll sleep on it and get back to ya with either a comment or video.
Yeah I wanna say 7800 because it plays 2600 games but truth is I only have like 2 7800 games so I kinda wanna say an original woody like my 6 switch VCS because it's so much more classic looking! VCS and an 800XL I guess. Gotta have the 800XL but then again you can say most of the better ports on are the 800XL so why have the VCS? Why not have a 16 bit Atari too? Well I don't have any of those or any games! So yeah VCS and 800XL it is!

Hey Rob, Here's a puzzler. What would you consider the Atari XEGS? It's could be considered a game system or a computer!

@Croooow111 Hmmm good point. I'll say console 1st but with computer capability. I'll take it with either a console or computer in addition.

Dude... can I say for me that ultimately if I could have a mint, original Atari 800 and an Atari Falcon (with a copy of Jeff Minter's 'Llama Zap') then I would be a truly happy camper. Now, you could argue that the 800 wasn't a console but it did take game cartridges... Yeah, I didn't think you'd buy it... still, worth a try. ;-) Okay for the console then I'd have to go with the 7800 just cause I could play all the 2600 stuff too I suppose.

@Martroid hA ha GOOD REASONING! Man I forgot about the FALCON all together, definitely a brag worthy computer.
