Nice selection of games! I experienced those games last year for the first time. I bought an Atari XEGS for my collection and an AVGCART to play the whole library. Such a nice console and computer. As a console collector interested in the whole history of gaming I like your videos. Too many collectors ignore pre-NES systems
Thanks! Yes, the 400 is really something. I bought it at SEGE from a vendor based out of North Carolina. He had all of the models, except for maybe the XEGS, on the table there. He had such passion for cleaning, restoring, and upgrading these systems. I'll likeky get something like an 800XL one day so the 400 doesn't get lonely. 🤣
I was a small child in the early 80s but I still miss the period of time when technology like this was both much simpler and much more complicated than what we have now. That stuff was difficult to use compared to our phones but at the same time a computer was just a computer. It ran what you told it to run and wasn't integrated into every aspect of your life. Smartphones are amazing, but I also kinda hate them too. No way am I getting any sort of "Neuralink" type device. That's where I draw the line.
This EXTREMELY Rare System Will Blow Your Mind! ➡ th-cam.com/video/v_c77rM3woI/w-d-xo.html

The XEGS Is a ROCKIN' system! That's really cool that you have one. One day - one day - I will have one. Oh yes, it will be mine. 🤣
@@Forever8Bit no stairway? Denied?
The 400 was ok but you really want an 800 (Or XL/XE). More memory and real keyboard.
Agreed! It's on the list. :)
There was, at one time, a decent Keyboard upgrade for the 400.
Dreadnought Factor and Gyruss look like games I'd definitely enjoy a lot.
I owned a Gyruss arcade machine back in the day. So I'm definitely particular about ports of the game. This one, for the hardware and era, is a gem.
@@Forever8Bit love the music from that game.
The memories... LOVE IT I am jealous..
You can get those memories back! The 400s are out there, even on eBay, for very reasonable prices. Go for it! Lots of fun to be had.
I am amazed that in 2022, you picked up an Atari 400 for $50. It's such a workhorse of a machine and it runs so well; even in the 21st Century.

Oh very nice, always loved the look of them!
Thank you! They really do look cool, don't they? :)
2:16 lol nah it's Bobbin from "Loom"
Ah, cool! :)
That is a awesome port of Moon Patrol.😎
It really is. It absolutely smoked the 2600 and Intelly versions.
@@Forever8Bit still have a lot of love for that Atari 2600 port. It was the first time I played Moon Patrol. It also had some awesome music.
