Holy Space Invaders, Batman! I just got a new ATARI 2600.

I was looking for kitchen curtains, which were ridiculously expensive. THEN, I saw the ATARI Flashback, complete with 2 joysticks AND loaded with 100 games.
Did anybody here ever have the ATARI 2600, very popular in the 1970's, when Pong and Pacman were first introduced? I used to spend hours playing Space Invaders, my favorite. I had to send the console for repairs once, and my sons enjoyed playing different games into the mid-1990's. Oh, it was great for their hand-eye coordination, and so banal compared to the video games today.

Never actually had an Atari but we had arcade machines on board ship when I was in the Navy, I was good at Space Invaders and Tank Commander, remember them with fondness.
