Today I noticed that the mighty 6502, the processor that not only powered all Atari 8-bit computers and consoles but also those from Apple, Commodore, Acorn, Nintendo and many more, turns 50(!) this year 😰

Do you feel old yet? 🧓

Pictured is the interior of the Atari 7800 with its 6502. So this is my final and last minute #febratari post

It is day 15 of #febratari

Do you know "Dschungel Boy" from the former German mail-order company "Quelle"? Seems to be a fun jump'n'run. But somehow it looks strangely familiar 🤔

I've counted and it seems I own more Atari devices than Commodore ones. That cannot be right 😯

Also it's day 8 of #febratari

It's day *checks calendar* 4 of #febratari

Here are some Atari shelfies after the big shelf space upgrade last year.

I'm quite happy now to have more space for the cartridges and the boxes. There was even enough space to place the book prominent in the shelf.

A wall of Atari 2600 cartridges in a shelf. Two game controllers laying in front of it

An Atari CX-40 joystick in a shelf. Behind it some game boxes of Atari 2600 cartridges. On the right side the book "The Art of Atari" from Tim Lapetino is lurking into the scene.

An Atari Lynx and some games and game boxes are sitting in a shelf.

Me preparing for the Atari winter olympics 35 years ago vs now. Not much has changed 😀

It is February now and therefore #febratari 🕹️

Two pictures. Picture 1: A kid is playing ski jump from the Winter Games Cartridge on an Atari 2600 jr. In the corner of the picture is written 12:48, 28.1.1990".
Picture 2: Same scene, same person, 35 years later. In the corner is written "12:48, 28.1.2025"

Some pictures of the cartridges.

Some VCS-cartridges on a Atari VCS (topview). Besides the boxes of the games

Video checkers, basketball and football game cartridges

This is the latest addition to my VCS collection. The nice thing of collecting these is, that most of them are pretty cheap. I was surprised that some of the games came in a box. Especially the huge Star Raiders box, which contained another surprise. No need to complain for 16€. But I will cover that in a separate post.
