Why would it be filled with 2600 guts when the 2600 and 400/800/5200 are completely incompatible?]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/ben said: One thing, don't distribute this photo beyond these forums until the official announcement Wednesday, thanks.

I got an Atari 800 for Xmas when I was 10...that thing was sweet...and built like a tank! If it wasn't for that computer, I don't know what I'd be doing today. I learned BASIC, LOGO....and ran it all off cartridges and my bad-azz tape-recorder! And when I got my 5.25" floppy (the Indus GT), I was the king of the neighborhood!

So many good memories.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/
did the game use two controllers (one for flying, one for firing). There is one called "space dungeon" that sounds like the one you are talking about... awesome game.

I still have my Atari 400 hacked to an 800 with percom SSSD floppy. Really got to move M.U.L.E, Jumpman and others to some more permanent medium.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/14/ben-heckendorns-atari-800-laptop/Dec 31st 2005 8:29PM
