Atari 5200 Guy

I bought Circus Atari on the VCS and the Atari 50 without knowing it already had it. I also have the original cartridge, too. 

Well. There’s a LOT of reasons why I haven’t been very active on here lately. My life has done a complete 180 on me.
In short, my wife passed in January. It’s alright, we were expecting it.
Since then it has been a struggle getting back on track. Last month I found a decent paying job, made an assistant manager position, bought a truck, and buying my first home. So, everyday since April I have had nothing but good things happen to me. 

I did have to sell off stuff to make ends meet before I found a job, but I am now well off and living within my means. 
 
I have to fix up a few things in my new home before I move in but I’m not homeless. Once that is done, I move in complete, and get settled in, I will return to play more games with you guys. For now I’m returning to a more simple way of living.
I’ll see you in the games soon.

That’s what it’s supposed to look like.
This is what it looks like now. Previous tenants buying it destroyed it. This is going to be a fun little project.

While it is a cool mini computer, I feel it would be nice if it did receive more VCS exclusive content. I think it would benefit and be better remembered for games that were made just for it and not on every other platform in the galaxy. Just like XBOX has Halo, Nintendo has Mario, Sony has Gran Turismo, it needs its own games.

I just did a livestream last night showcasing the VCS playing ATS using Debian and Steam.

I absolutely love the kitchen area!
It’s a 1985 model. 60 x 14. It gave good vibes every time I came to look it over before buying it. My last visit I didn’t want to leave. 
 
The central air/heat is only 2 years old. The floor is not perfectly level but I’ll manage. It gives a cabin vibe that way.
I already have new carpet and vinyl to lay. I’m just waiting for the power to be turned on.

@Atari 5200 Guy glad to hear that life is on the up and up. I am sorry to hear of your wife's passing.

I actually wish that was the case but it made it easy for me to obtain. The landlord just wanted it off his hands.
The previous tenant was buying it but never moved in. She let a homeless person stay here and he had five dogs. It wasn’t renovation, they destroyed it. There is not a single wall without holes in it. 
 
I figured it would give me something to do when I’m off work. I can do a little here and there. I don’t think it’s a bad purchase for $5k.

I'll try to join in this tonight!! BOTH of them! I really like the VCS. Pretty neat little console.

Can the VCS use MAME?

Some of the camera a bit more pricey that this one shown are not that good.

It's amazing how cheap you can find things. Where I live is a Five Below store near the area. They have all kinds of neat gadgets for cheap! Check out this robot vacuum cleaner.

I'd buy it in print form.  I'd love to have something like this to go along side the VCS.
