Did nobody visit their grandparents and play atari games? Did people stop hanging onto their old games and consoles?
I still have a 2600 and a Nes.
The joysticks are 80% shot. the edge connector on the nes is about 15 min from wanting to play to getting it to play.
Yeah, the atari joysticks were garbage. Only my better third party joysticks held up, the official ones died when I was still a kid and the console was still being sold.
Damn, replacements are cheap af https://www.supremegamegear.com/products/retro-classic-joystick-controller-gamepad-replacement-for-atari-2600-console-system
Those aren’t official joysticks, but I am somehow doubtful they could be any less shitty than the real deal haha
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe get a couple and put some pinball switches in them.
I had a neighbor with a colecovision, that still feels like a fever dream
I am old enough to have some those things but my kids Grandparents have gone full MAGA so… No? They won’t have that experience. And even if they weren’t. My parents threw all of my shit out unlike my own grandmother who always has a room ready
