Playing with the Atari

As I previously mentioned on my blog, my sister got me an Atari 2600 video game console and several games for Christmas. I finally got around to hooking it up this afternoon while Mel and Maximus were napping. I started by playing Frogger, followed by Pac-Man and Dig Dug. Other games which came with my Atari are:

• Adventure
• Asteroids
• Berzerk 
• Breakout
• Centipede 
• Chopper Command 
• Circus
• Combat
• Defender
• Dodge 'Em
• Donkey Kong 
• Dragonfire
• E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
• Fishing Derby
• Frostbite
• H.E.R.O.
• Ice Hockey
• Kaboom! 
• Kangaroo
• Keystone Kapers 
• Lock 'n' Chase
• Math Gran Prix 
• Maze Craze
• Megamania
• Millipede
• Missile Command
• Ms. Pac-Man
• Outlaw 
• Pitfall!
• Pole Position
• Popeye
• Pressure Cooker
• Q*bert
• Raiders of the Lost Ark
• River Raid 
• Robot Tank
• Seaquest
• Solar Fox
• Space Invaders  
• Sky Jinks
• Stampede
• Super Breakout 
• Super Cobra
• Tennis
• Tron Deadly Discs
• Turmoil
• Venture
• Video Olympics
• Video Pinball

This is probably more games than I ever actually owned for my Atari when I was a kid. None of these games includes a manual, so I am hoping that either I can figure out how to play them on my own, or that I can find directions online somewhere. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to trying them all out. One thing I do need to do though is to locate a switch so I do not have to disconnect the satellite box from the TV in order to attach the Atari to it. I may have one somewhere, otherwise I will need to go out and buy one.
