I remember the year we upgraded to the Atari 2600.
The parents had stuck a couple games in our stockings and neglected to mark them as "Open Last."
Oops.

I remember those day's all to well. Had a switch on the game to choose 3 or 4 in case 3 was a broadcasting channel, which it was in my area, so I played my games on channel 4

I had an old system that played on either 2 or 3 (pong style games, pong, tennis, hockey). Most of the other consoles worked on 3 or 4.

Yeah… and I remember the actual channel's signal sometimes leaking through, so you'd see a ghost of the show playing over the game graphics.

If you had a video game console, I used steal quarters from my older brothers to go play donkey Kong, and pac-man, and some others, at the places where they had them. I would always loose, jejeje

Add me to the list of RF modulator users. I have an original Atari 2600 VCS with paddle controllers, joysticks and tons of games.
Hm. Maybe I'll break it out and hook it up to our 73" and go retro for an afternoon.

I was glad when they came out with a switch to toggle the video game or channel 3. We had a channel on 3 so I had to unhook the antenna wire each time until they came out with that little box. Forget to hook the antenna wire up after done once and there was no space invaders for a whole week. Joe

Yes, turning the dial Channel 3, those silly little antenna adapters that you had to screw on, turning the fine tune knobs to get rid of the static and snow. How did we ever survive?
