Hey everyone

This might sound like a daft thing to post on here but people on here sound smart and gamers I just dug my old Atari 2600 out and there is no power Suply to it. I was wondering if anyone knows what Voltage the Atari 2600 takes so i can set it up. I want to show my niece who is 8 the clasic system`s i grow up with. She already think`s it`s amazing just buy lookin at the games :D LOL

Thanks in advance

Becky

You can buy those multi-voltage, multi- adapter things from Argos, that will get it going just fine ( on the right voltage/polarity)

Have fun, they are great, and, if anyone is interested, Atari will be bringing out a retro console with a load of classic games built in shortly.

I think there is a release date for the states but not the UK just yet.
