Awhile back I mounted a 7.2" LCD in the dash with a JVC DVD player. Then I got greedy and added an Atari 2600 in the dash. Everything is wired through the car stereo. Works great

 

why an atari?

 

Why not Atari? It's an 80's car.

It's just for looks mostly but it does work just fine.

 

I for one think it's awesome.
already emailed it to a friend...

 

oh i was just wondering why he choose the atari. nothing wrong with it.. i have 2 of them and 3 dresser drawers full of games for them.... from waaaaaaay back when i was like 7

 

I LOVE Atari.

Why not Atari, People who like X-Box and PS put them in their cars, so if some cool dude likes Atari, why is it less cool than a PS3? If it is because they are old and you can't have old stuff, then you better quit driving your third gen because they are as old as the Atari.

 

that's why you mod the xbox and put an atari emulator on it you can't forgot atari and nintendo they still have the most fun games to play. they're just graphically challenged

 

Yeah,they got games for new sytems now that have all the games from the old systems on one CD

Good job tho.Very slick

 

Actually, the Atari is more suited for the second gens. I remember getting on in 1976. Thats when it was called telegames. Not to change subject but was picking up a part at the dealership. They had just gotten picks of the 07 camaro. Couldnt show any one but says it very retro.

 

Since we're on the subject of '80s games, I wonder if anyone's tried to put an Apple ][ in one of our cars

 

I have a rubix cube

 

this thread is cool. but an atari for looks? i hope that is in your 86 and not your TTA. if i had an LCD i would TOTALY put a genisis in my car. but i would hide it under the seat. the controllers would come out of the center console. but why do that when i can fit my sega nomad in the center console in case anyone does not know what a nomad is, it's a handheld that plays full size genises cartridges. sega owns

 

Sweet! Nice job.

 

hey, if you don't want to deal with the game cartridges there's a new atari 2600 remake with a ton of games saved on a hard drive. They sell them at wall-mart in the kids section and the rock. looks like the original design(at least what I can remember of them, I'm younger than half the cars on here tho.

 

i luv the concept! atari!!!

 

just in case you ever wanna play a good game of pong. everyone loves pong.

 

POLE POSITION

 

Damn I forgot to buy that one. I have

Frogger
Pacman
Pitfall
Combat
Outlaw
Football

 

Telegames was the Sears ripoff of Atari. Totally compatible, but they just threw their name on all the games!

I love the screen... but the Atari on the dash is a bit much. Very cool though!

 

i still play pole position on that pac man stick. Anyone score over 63000 pts. It aint easy but you can get it done

 

Is that the Klingon chick from Star Trek Voyager....Balana Torres on the screen?

 

I think it's Pussycat Dolls "Dontcha".

Instead of listening to CD music, I burn music video's to VCD format so every song has some eye candy to go along.
