    Dude I have a working 2600. I think. It worked 5 years ago but I don’t have a good two bolt connector (idk what it’s called. The one with two bolts) to hdmi convertor

      Awesome… Are there even adaptors? It was an analog antenna-signal. If there is one, it’s probably not cheap. I dunno. If the cartridges still work after 40yrs is doubtful, isn’t it? Got pacman, qbert, space invaders, star wars and whatnot lying in my old-stuff-shrine 😁

          It just rings a bell, but that’s about it. But I remember the early copy protections…like these paper wheels to scroll through symbols to enter a code before playing.
