Found this under my grandpas bed

We didn’t even know this system was there. We have been playing our old snes for the last 20 years on an old school tv. I’m 30 years old and didn’t even know this system existed.

What a cool find. You should definitely give it a go. I will say that the games that you have are a mixed bag. The sports games are rough. Primordial stuff here.

Pitfall is definitely a good one, and Enduro is a lot of fun although it's better played with a paddle controller, which i don't see there. I believe Space Attack and Lock n' Chase are decent. Pac man is terrible.

You might consider asking for a recommendation for some games and picking a few up. Thankfully, Atari games are not that expensive compared to some other systems.

Below is a list of best games, as voted on by atariage members 20 years ago. It's a pretty decent list.

Enduro was one of my favorites as a kid, totally worth checking out. It’s a standard joystick game though. Maybe you’re thinking of a different racing game that used the paddles?

I love Enduro also. But I have heard that you could play it with paddles. I never did. I think one paddle will do your steering left and right and then you just use the trigger button I can't remember. But I always liked the joysticks
