PAC-MAN
An adaptation of the all-time classic hit, the Atari 2600 version of this game was highly anticipated, with 3 million pre-orders placed before launch. Tasked with eating all wafers in the maze while avoiding the four ghosts to proceed to the next level, Pac-Man will continuously keep you engaged and chasing that sweet high score.
FROGGER
With colorful graphics and a light-hearted theme, Frogger is perfect for gamers of all ages and genders. The game will have you guide a frog through busy traffic and fast-moving logs, all the way back to its home at the top of the screen.
ATARI 2600 – FEATURES
One of the first to bring the arcades to the home television, the Atari 2600 is the console upon which the entire video game industry was built. This model is the 6-switch version, with power, TV type, game selection, player difficulty, and game reset all present on the front.
POWERFUL CPU & REVOLUTIONAIRY GRAPHICS
The Atari 2600 boasts a 1.19 MHz processor and a highly versatile graphics chip, which enables it to display much more fluid motion animation and more colorful graphics than its competitors. Depending on the television signal format, it can use palettes of up to 128 colors and run at 50 to 60 frames per second.
ATARI 2600 CONSOLE – THE GAMES
The console’s library is one of the largest you can find: over 526 games, including self-published, third-party games and compatible homebrew software, guaranteeing that you won’t ever run out of things to play.
YARS’ REVENGE
A timeless classic, this game puts you in the skin of Yar, tasked with destroying the evil Qotile. With intuitive controls and levels that feature increasing difficulty, it’s bound to keep you glued to the screen for hours on end. It features the first Easter Egg in gaming.
ASTEROIDS
In this classic, the player must navigate around the screen and destroy asteroids and saucers. When shot, each asteroid breaks into smaller and faster fragments, putting the pilot’s dexterity to the test.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Perhaps the most infamous game on the Atari 2600, ET is often cited as the game who led to the video game crash of 1983. However, anyone who will try the game will find that while undoubtedly challenging, its gameplay is fair and any player who manages to finish it is instantly rewarded with great satisfaction.
SPACE INVADERS
Already an arcade hit, when Space Invaders was ported to the Atari 2600 it became the system’s killer app. Pitting the player against wave after wave of aliens and showcasing revolutionary music for the time, this piece of software is an all-time favourite of retro gamers.

Simple, addicting, challenging and FUN FUN FUN. If you never owned one – GET ONE- if you owned one – PLAY IT ALL OVER AGAIN – great memories !!!
100%!
can you put cartridges in like pac man,space invaders,frogger,etc?
Ok
Was not pleased with the shipping experience and reached out to the shop as well sent pictures to show them what it looked like once it arrived here. As I do not have the material to hook up to my tv I had to wait till my daughter arrived to see if it actually worked. In the end my tv is not compatable with the Atari 2600 but my other daughters tv is and it worked perfectly.
a classic console. fun, cheesy, and essential for classic game collectors. i would recommend it to any generation of people
