Many years ago I bought (for virtually nothing) all the old consoles I could not have as a child from ebay.

Now they just sit in my garage. Anyone want to buy an Atari VCS or two?

Most recent console game played and enjoyed : FarCry 5 / Xbox Series.

Buy? Just give them away to some poor kid!

Providing they can still be played and are in working order. 🙂

An Atari VCS/2600 came out September 1977.

Ha! Not wrong either. That 70's faux wood style is a thing of beauty and deserves to be seen! The games, not so much.

I see, so looking at a collectors item?

I've been debating whether to invest time into FarCry; based on this recommendation I'll give it a whirl this weekend.

We got quite a bit in common there, particularly the Xbox [had 3 versions], and Halo 1 to 4.

Have you never heard of Xbox Game Pass?

If you subscribe to it, you can stream games or download them to your Xbox. If you have the Ultimate Game Pass you can play any game they have on the service (including some games the day they come out, as well as some older games) as long as they stay on the service. They rotate games off and on the service periodically. You can also get PC Game Pass, which is the same service, but for PC games. I believe you can also just buy any game they have to doadload and keep on your device. Gone are the days of getting a disc when you buy a game, now you just download it. If you're a heavy gamer, you already have broadband, so download time is minimal.

Who am I to say, but your time might be better spent working on your chess game. 🙂
