I thought that they packed it in a long time ago until I recently saw a PC game with the Atari logo on it.
I guess this means my 2600 just shot up in nostalgia-value - EBay, here I come!

MAGUS!!!! AAAAAARRGGGHH!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you. GonzoStyle Wrote:I pledge my undying love for Arpi, any retraction of this undying love is to be ignored. Nominated for," 2005 poster of the year", by 4 out of 6 mods!

how about Frogger, that game rocked. What was that game where you swung by a rope to get past alligators, looked like you were in a jungle?

Pitfall so rocked. I spent hours playing that game. I never had to purchase an Atari game, my neighbor had a huge collection and I would just borrow them whenever I wanted them.

i don't see how atari folding would make a difference, its not like they were making 2600's anymore anyhow. how would the company folding increase the price of an already discontinued system?

Isn't that how it always is? For example, when an artist dies does his work not increase in value?

apples and oranges.
if i follow your logic, the artist died when the 2600 was discontinued and stopped being manufactured. any markup now would depend on the number in circulation. supply and demand. if anything, they will go up in value over the fact that Atari's name is back in the news. more exposure will bring more demand.

Fine, fine. you win. Want to buy an Atari for $1000?
