Retro Gaming

I forgot how addictive Space Invaders was lol

I also have an intellivision, but can't find the games yet (recently moved you see)

Edited to say it's a 2600

lock n chase- now you're talking!

like the game bank panic from the arcades.

Do the weird looking gold disc controllers still work!

I bet you find after an hour the whole lot will be back in the loft.

I still have a colecovision sat around somewhere with zaxxon and the smurfs game (hangs head in shame)

LOL @ Nacro

Haven't tried the intellivision yet, but i'm due to take a tea break lol - ah the merits of working from home.

Cheers

You can buy what just looks like the old Atari joystick however it is a mini-cnsole with 10 great old Atari Games. It just plugs into the AV or SCART socket of your tv and off you go! Its about 24 quid from Argos!

2600 is a wooden classic. Personal favourite game was good ole Combat in the 2 player invisible mode. Brilliant
