How to Choose the Best Atari 2600 Games, Consoles & Accessories
Choosing Your Atari 2600 Console
When looking for an Atari 2600 console, you'll primarily encounter two main models: the original "heavy sixer" and the later "light sixer." The heavy sixer, identifiable by its woodgrain panel and heavier build, is generally considered more robust. The light sixer is a more compact and lighter version. Both play the same games, but condition is key. Look for consoles that have been tested and are in good working order, paying attention to the joystick ports and the power adapter.
Essential Controllers and Accessories
No Atari 2600 experience is complete without its iconic joysticks. Original Atari joysticks are known for their durability, though replacements are widely available. Consider purchasing a "quick-shot" style controller for a more modern feel, or stick to the original for authenticity. Other important accessories include RF adapters (ensure compatibility with modern TVs, or consider an HDMI converter) and the AC adapter. Many consoles are sold without these, so factor them into your budget.
Assessing Condition and Completeness
Buying vintage hardware requires a keen eye. Check for cosmetic damage like cracks or significant discoloration. Test the console thoroughly if possible, ensuring all ports function correctly and the console powers on reliably. If buying a bundle, verify that all expected components (console, controllers, power supply, RF adapter) are included. Refurbished units often come with a warranty, offering peace of mind.
