Atari

[Guest alfdogg]

I don't know the difference between 2600, 5200, and 7800, and don't know which one I had when I was in 1st-4th grade (88-92).  But these were my favorite games:

 

Hide & Seek

Frogger

Pac-Man (have it on my computer now though)

Asteroids

 

and my favorite of all time...CRYSTAL CASTLES~!

 

I had a bunch more, but don't remember what they were.  Anyone know what system matches these games, and if & how I can possibly own them again?  (I'm a VG nostalgia person...I'd just as soon put in Mario 3 as I would Super Smash Bros. Melee.)

I want to keep the links for these pages until I have a way of getting WinZip and paying for it, so please don't delete this topic.

[Guest razazteca]

Winzip should be a free program just download at Download.com

[Guest alfdogg]

What I got from it is that you can only use it for free for 21 days.

 

Then would that be all I need to get emulators and games and stuff like that?

[Guest razazteca]

you can use Winzip forever, I have been using the same version for over a year!!!!  I have no problems with unzipping files, making zips might be problem but I never use that option.

 

I think you have to pay for it if you wanted to make zips with the .EXE extention.

What do they mean by make copies, and how did you avoid ever paying?

[Guest Clyde Rockwell]

So am I the only one who still has a working Atari 2600? If I am then sweet, cause it actually works better today than when I first got it, cable ready televisions rule.

 

Pac Man and Frogger were both on 2600 but look very bad, there are some better looking versions but those were the arcade versions and perhaps on the 7800, I'm not to sure all I know is that combat is still the greatest game ever.

 

Atari rules like pudding in the summer yo.

When you start Winzip it will say "I understand that I may use WinZip for evaluation purposes, etc.,etc." You click "I Agree". Even after the trial ends you can still use it. Just install it
