I remember my young uncle having one, which he also let me borrow for a while. My favourite was probably Defender. johnbradley 03-04-2007, 07:32 I had an amiga A500 ... in fact I still have an amiga it's on top of the wardrobe with it's monitor gathering dust I also have an old A2000 somewhere that work were throwing out, keyboards damaged tho i have an atari ST still, gathering dust....used to love that machine:) but the thing is, this thread is about the 2600, not amigas or STs, so what are we doing here...???:huh: defstef 03-04-2007, 07:46 ...but the thing is, this thread is about the 2600, not amigas or STs, so what are we doing here...???:huh: :thumbsup: defstef 03-04-2007, 07:51 ...although to my dismay, I can't actually find any threads on the subject of Amigas. I think I'll start one. Perhaps we could make it an Amiga vs. ST thread so you can get involved Bradders. It'll be a welcome break from those OS X vs. Windoze threads that I'm constantly winning... alchresearch 03-04-2007, 11:49 When the first 2600 came out (with the fake wood panelling on the front), the price was £130, with games at £30. What would that work out at in today's money? My favourite game was Pitfall 2 - the in-game music was so jolly,and changed to "fly through the air with the greatest of ease" when you grabbed a balloon in the caverns! mrmist 03-04-2007, 11:55 When the first 2600 came out (with the fake wood panelling on the front), the price was £130, with games at £30. What would that work out at in today's money? Using a handy online calculator, I discovered that - In 2005 (it didn't do 2006 or 7), £130.00 from 1977 was worth: £540.93 using the retail price index £567.81 using the GDP deflator £908.02 using average earnings £1,020.06 using per capita GDP £1,093.02 using the GDP In 2005, £30.00 from 1977 was worth: £124.83 using the retail price index £131.03 using the GDP deflator £209.54 using average earnings £235.40 using per capita GDP £252.24 using the GDP So a lot more than a PS3... ;) |
