Atari Storage System

Here are some pics of an Atari display system I just made from Masonite, trim material and hot glue.


































This is my original "Light Sixer", purchased with funds I earned over the course of an entire summer at a rate of $1.00 per hour circa 1981 or so. It no longer works, but I cannot stand the idea of parting with it after all the hours spent earning it and then playing on it. Its a tangible artifact to a childhood long gone.

The cartridges also date from that era, representing the best of the best, IMHO. In the order I came to acquired them, they are:

Air-Sea Battle
Space Invaders
Breakout
Berzerk
Missile Command
Ms. Pac Man
Video Pinball
River Raid
Defender
Pitfall!
Starmaster
Adventure
Bowling

Honorable mentions for cartridges that seem to have been lost over the years include:

Combat
Boxing
