What do you guys think about the "Atari Portfolio"?

Tue Oct 4, 2011 4:13 PM

(just so you know, I'm sorry if it is in the wrong forum, I didn't know what forum this was supposed to go into)....


So I was wondering if anyone owns the Atari Portfolio? I was thinking about asking for one for chirstmas. I looked on ebay and there only about 100 or so dollars for the used ones. But I don't mind of there used. If I was getting one I would use it for school-planning(as a school/life planner). I think that is what the computer was designed to do anyway. But yeah. It sounds pretty neat. So does anyone own one? Is it a good thing to own? Do you use it alot? And is it easy to navigate the DOS system on the computer?(I can use DOS) I really like Atari, and I think owning an Atari Planner was be so cool. Obviously I would take good care of it.....also how is the battery life on one of those things?

Can you help me pick a 2600 game for my club at school?

I recently created a "retro video game club" at my school(which is a high school). And we are starting it next week (Thursday). Now I want everyone to try out new(360, PS3, so on) and old(5200, 2600, etc,) systems. My friends and I decided since it IS an old school gaming club, the first system we want everyone to play is an Atari 2600. (I own 25+ systems so I can do mostly...well...most systems that they want to be able to play). And my question is.......what 2600 game do you think my new club should play first????? (don't worry, I got plenty of controllers, and we are going to share the games, etc,.)

Now since I am 17 and the club is starting next week, I can really only use the games I already own. So can you please tell me what game(s) I should bring and have people play during the club;

Games I own;
Chopper Command
Combat
Cosmic ark
Defender
Dig dug
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong JR.
Dragster
E.T.
Fishing Derby
Frankenstein's Monster
Ghostbusters
JR. Pac-man
Keystone Kapers
Pitfall 2
Pole Position
Spider-Man
