I need to do this to my original Atari 2600!
-
Did you say your favorite game was E.T. fior the Atari? Blink once if you're being held against your will.
-
As a kid I was blown away by combat on the 2600. I miss that feeling.😊
-
Ok. Picking up a console that came out in the year I was born, then calling it almost 40 years old is a reality check I did not need on this Sunday afternoon!
-
I discovered your channel yesterday, and did watch all of it. I find it fascinating to see that the computers we children of the 80s have such warm feelings about can also captivate younger people.
-
So great to see mods being made for old tech that brings new life to them. Love the Weird Science shirt too!
-
I'm 54, so glad to see the new Generation having an interest and keeping"Retro Gaming" going

One of my first gaming consoles was the Atari 2600 in early 80's. I am now 51. Brings back so many memories. I think in the end I had over 200+ games. Thanks Kari for your channel. I am sure it will go far. Keep the videos coming!

Good Lord! Your soldering skills are enviable! So clean! So precise! It’s like an extra bonus watching your videos. You have you and the topic you’re covering (meat & potatoes) then like an additional mini-game, we have the satisfaction of meticulous soldering. Bravo. Maybe in another 80 years I will gain such finesse with my own janky soldering endeavors.

There's something comforting about old gaming equipment and seeing enthusiasm for it from a new generation 😎
-
43 now and the 2600jr was my first console when I was 5. Great to see people keeping them alive. Yars Revenge was one I could never get past the first bit of :D
-
I need to do this to my 1979 Intellivision console, which is also give or take 50 years old 😂, trust me, I’m older. Love your enthusiasm and working confidently with electronics which was my first job (electronics engineer), great to see.
-
Love the T-shirt, great 80's film..😁😁 Keep up the great vids.
-
a gem of a channel ! glad it popped up in the algorithm
-
@6:23 Wait a second! Let's talk about that Special ET cartridge!
-
I got the Atari 2600 for Christmas in 1977 from a friend. We were so excited to play it and had a lot of fun. I sure bought a lot of game cartridges for it.
-
So interesting that a young person such as yourself is intertested in this old tech from my youth. if Youtube was around in the 80s this channel would have fit right in. You must have interesting parents that promoted this. Looking forward to more from you.
-
This is fast becoming one of my favorite retro channels. I only wish the videos were a bit longer. I could easily watch this for 15-20 minutes. :) Either way, great work!
-
Very cool, Kari, seems quite straightforward. Definitely better than routing the signal through a VCR.
-
This channel is dope. Its giving me Tech TV vibes from back when I watched it in high school early 2000s.
