Atari 410 Data Cassette Drive: more Atari treasure!

Yay, my Atari 410 Data Cassette Drive came today, this thing is PRISTINE. It still has the original inner-box, plastic bag & styrofoam, I'm not certain it's seen much use (possibly none!). Yay, my collection grows.

Getting my Atari on

While not the best way to play right now (the couch sits considerably lower than the table but hey it works for now) I got up and running last night... profanities and screaming "no no no no no no get away get away get away from me you stupid asteroid GET AWAY NO NO NO DON'T KILL ME" etc occurred. This weekend I'll be getting into some text-based games like Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Zork 2, Zork 3, Enchanter, Sorcerer and Spellbreaker.

Who know a Doctor Who game existed for the 8-bit Atari line?!?! I didn't! Awesome...

The following picture is my SIO2PC unit, which allows me to emulate hardware via the SIO port and an attached modern computer.

Atari CX77 Touch Tablet

Legit never been opened. 1983. I actually don't want to open it, now I have to find and buy an unopened one ha! I'll probably open it in a week or two and check it out on one of my Atari 800XL's or a 2600. For those of you wanting to see an unboxing and don't want to wait for mine, check out technologizer's from 2009

Know what bothers me though? Look at the back of the box (bottom image)... that Atari isn't hooked up to the television...
