Chubbz Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Which ATARI consoles do you own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 All except Jag CD but I did at one time long ago. I also have XEGS and a 1040 STe. I know those are computers but still Atari. I love 'em all. Atari stuff makes up most of my physical library of consoles and games combined. Chubbz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Well, I'm not sure if the computer 8-bit line counts but I would think the XEGs would count as a console since it was marketed as a games console that also happened to have a keyboard that attached to it. Hence why it came with the light gun and the two games upon release. Having said that, I own all the consoles listed but do not own a XEGs and only own an 800xl and 130xe for the computer 8-bit line.

CrossBow Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Should the VCS be considered? I mean yes... it is a console and yes it was released by Atari, but it isn't the same Atari.

I would suggest that the modern VCS should be considered in the same way that products developed and/or released under Tramiel's Atari Corporation should be considered.

Chubbz Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I should have been more specific with the header. These are what I consider to be ATARI's retro consoles, as in they were specifically marketed as such. The XEG was considered a computer in the U.K because of the way it was marketed. I do consider the VCS to be an ATARI console, but it's current. It's interesting to see the most popular outside of the 2600. The 7800 for example always has decent numbers in polls. Post whatever you consider relevant if the option is unavailable. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
