Atari 2600 Jr.

I bought this boxed Atari 2600 last year cheap at a flea market and only recently checked out if it still works and it does. :D

The original Atari 2600 was released in the US in 1977 and one year later in Europe. This version I have here is inofficially named Atari 2600 Jr. It was released in 1985 as a slimer, much smaller and much cheaper (about 50$ / 100DM) version in an attempt to lure in buyers with the low prize. But still, it was the end of the systems life-span and the Nintendo Entertainment System was on the rise.

The box game comeplete with instructin booklet and guaranty leaflet.

 'RFI suppressed'

 Guaranty leaflet.

Instructions.

 The console as such is really small and light.

I guess I have no more guaranty because teh seal has been moved :P

The controller that came with it.

All set up. There is just one cable with an AC adapter which is long, which is great. I hate it when cables are to short. And of course a cable to connect it to the TV.

The controller is pretty bad und very unresponsive, but there is an easy solution.... Just plug in an Sega Mega Drive /Genesis controller. They fit as well and work perfectly :)

Now I just need to get some good games!
