Games Gotta Go!

We spent some time going through our spare room yesterday. Lots of things for the garage sale in there! Mikey has finally decided to let go of his old gaming systems - an Atari and a Sega Genesis - that he hasn't used for years. We hooked them both up this morning and found that the Genesis works very well (we played each of the games for a few minutes) and that the Atari would probably work if we had the right connector cable. Using the Genesis cable we could see that the game was running, but we couldn't really see well enough to play anything.


Here's the Atari. The controllers cover a variety of gaming options, but are in no way guaranteed to work. The games include: Breakout, Q-Bert, Video Olympics, Street Racer, Jungle Hunt, and several others.


This is the Genesis collection. There is one controller (shown) that works reasonably well. The games include: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Target Earth, Thunder Force III, Musha, Mortal Kombat, Speedball, and a few others. All games (except Eternal Champions) include case, game and manual.

Anyway - these gaming dinosaurs will soon be e-Bay material. If anyone here is interested, I might be able to put in a good word to the boss on your behalf. He wants them to go to a good home, you know. Contact me if you have questions or are actually interested in purchasing (for a nominal fee) either of these machines.
