and Duck hunt came on the NES or the Famicom which is this

The pacman picture you listed was from the arcade game. The pacman from atari 2600 (the console you have above) looks like this

unless you mean the atari 5200 where pacman looks like this

anywhoo I enjoyed the atari.. it was the very first game console i ever played when i was 3-4 years old. The nes was what i grew on though. The only two games i constantly played in atari was seaquest and river raid. my dad loved those two games very much that i managed to find it for him on the internet and got it to him as roms.

Yeah, I remember that old box, & after that there was this small well shaped one.


There was this plane game, you shoot ships & you refuel.

aaaaaaaaaaaah... :( the old wonderful days.. *weeping* I hope we can go back again to the past. Playing with atari was a dream, only on occasions and with great happiness. You just dream of it the night before and you can't even sallow your breakfast in hurry to start playing.

Time used to pass like magic, and satisfaction is just not the right word to describe how it feels.

... Alas!

I don't recall having an Atari but I remember playing it when I was a kid

My first video game was a machine my Dad got me from Sharp, it was a T.V in which you could introduce games, I think it was a console from both Sharp & Nintendo
