This may seem like a nice nostalgia trip but it really isn't. I got one from the Mrs earlier this year and it lasted 10 minutes before being boxed back up and stuck on a shelf. It might have been longer if Pitfall had been included but as others have pointed out, it isn't.

The games are even more dire than you remember and your kids will have no nostalgic attachment to them, meaning they will just suck. I have one for sale if anyone wants it!

Heat for the price but still not worth it!

Just tried to find one (using a couple of different stock checkers) , appears to be out of stock everywhere.

I'm sure that this has been cheaper in the past and there is a new version out soon. Haven't voted.

I also feel the same. Mini nes might be a bit more expensive, but will atleast make it through to Easter

Why are there no games beginning with K ?

22 Dec 16 1 #14

Dont see the point of these to be honest. For kids it's just novelty value for a short time and for us who remember these games you have to have ALL the best games to make it worthwhile not some half arsed collection.

Hasn't this Shargos offer been on for ages? I noticed it a week or two ago. Usual same old Shargos story though they are advertising and selling thin air with their offers. No stock for me within 60 miles at about 20 Shargos stores. Typical Shargos. Anyone actually found it in stock anywhere?

LeeJS to noahsdad

22 Dec 16 #16

Why do I get the feeling you're trying to make 'Shargos' a thing?

waterloo to noahsdad

22 Dec 16 1 #25

I just posted the same then see your post its been on offer for ages and never been in stock in 100 stores i checked in and around london both last time and now its bull ****.

noahsdad

22 Dec 16 #17

It helps me deal with my 'Argos' frustrations :smiley: is really annoying to see all these great HUKD deal posts but no stock. I am still baffled as to how this so called retailer gets away with it. It must be a right cushy number working in the fair trading or advertising standards office, what do these people actually do? Argos or Shargos as I tend to call them get away with so much.

noahsdad

22 Dec 16 #18

PS join me Luke (or anyone) and call them Shargos, together we shall badmouth them across the galaxy.

I'll counter your Shargos with a LAME.

Raspberry Pi and retropie is probably your best bet for retro games.

Sorry ND you can't have Shargos. It was the title of my last spoken world album. (didn't chart). (Cameron's britain)

I heart argos fwiw. Some decent deals this year on 3ds games especially.

This was posted before and was oos everywhere then when did it come back instock national ? As i checked 100 stores and nothing !

To anyone struggling with stock, try asking in or ringing the store (the former the better option).

The other day my store listed no Mega Drives being available online even though the internal store system did say they had loads of them.

Boo just use a emulator and if those joysticks are anything like the original they are torturous to use anyway.

We went to the Insomnia 59 gaming convention at NEC at the start of December and they had a huge section dedicated to old games. All set up so you could play them and a stand selling old game boys with games.

My kids loved the festival.

Hooray! Amidar was a top game.

These were quite an envious Xmas present 30+ years ago but even then the controllers were absolutely awful..
Not to mention the fire button being on the wrong side, compared to virtually every arcade game that was out at the time!

For a tenner it might make an amusing novelty but there's far superior emulation options out there these days.

I even noticed the other day that Facebook messenger has what appears to be perfect versions of space invaders and galaga for free now - only problem is playing with an LCD screen for the controls...

No River Raid, Frostbite or Megamania, Activision games were the best ones :disappointed:

No Fireman, Road Runner, Qbert or Pacman? :disappointed:

Was reduced to that price all the way back in October and it was at £35 for a while in November. Meh, cold.

What's the point of this? Surely better of saving the money and putting it towards Nintendo Switch or other modern console? I'm still too young to remember Atari but my parents said it wasn't all that great even in its prime.

Don't these sorts of Atari blast from the past consoles come up in sales every year for anywhere between £15 and £30 depending on how Argos et al are feeling - maybe worth waiting.

I don't have good memories of these. Used to get cramp when playing games with those awful joysticks.

I think the Nintendo Wii is still the best and easiest device for emulation.

You can download the roms at AtariAge website, a few people are still writing games for the Atari 2600.

30 Dec 16 #56

All key titles are missing..
River Raid,Keystone Kapers,Sea Quest were the essential and the best games of Atari 2600 and they are all missing on this thing.
