Sears Video Arcade


As a kid, I was pretty brand loyal to Atari, even getting into fisticuffs with an Intellivision fan once, which is pretty embarrassing to admit now.

I bought my 2600 with my own money (from menial labour gigs no less) and even though this Sears knock off was a better deal, there was some stigma attached to it that my 11 year old self couldn't shake.

I loved those old 8-bit games from Atari. I've tried playing modern day Xbox and Playstation games, but the controllers have something like 186 buttons on them. The 2600 had the joystick and the one button, sometimes simpler is better.
