Got most of those on my Atari Flashback 9 wireless Gold that i was given for xmas.
I used to be a gun on most of those games back in the early 80`s ,but old man time has slowed me down and i am nowhere near as fast or clever on those old arcade games.

Expecting that eventually cafes will be closed from even serving takeaways, so bought a coffee machine online. Have to keep the caffeine fix up from home.

Got my Atari 2600 professionally modded with rca,s-video inputs and fully refurbished well worth the money imo.

edit - place where i got it done

Bit on the pricey side depending what console and mod you want but well worth it if you are a retro gamer enthusiast.

Great thread, although I think it has exceeded the “19 Things to do” of the title.

Moon Patrol love that game

Kaboom also a great game using the paddle controllers remember boxing? tempted hook up the Atari my self haha

My paddles had an intermittent fault where they’d get really jerky. Made playing Kaboom, Circus Atari and the racing one (Enduro?) impossible.
Never did get it hooked up today… the Minister for Recreation had other ideas…
Cheers for the mod idea… Will look into that…
