A Tale of Two Atari Pac-Man Ports

You may have heard of the infamous Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man, but you have not heard of the Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man. That's because the Atari 5200 had poor sales figures due to low quality controllers. The Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man could have far better sales figures if not for the Atari 5200's poor quality controllers because the Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man is far superior to the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man as the Atari 5200 version is closer to the Arcade version than the Atari 2600 version.

Discount Sale Items that are hard to find

When it comes to discount sales in 2024, great items from yesteryear are now hard to find. Some good examples would be discontinued consoles from Atari and Sega, as well as Plug & Play consoles, HVC-101 Famicoms and even Eastern European Famiclones such as Poland's Pegasus. Then again, console redesign models such as the Atari 2600 Jr, HVC-101 Nintendo Famicom, New-Style Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis 3 are going to be easier to find in a discount sale due to being late in the market. So if you do not mind buying redesigned consoles at a discount sale, now may be your last chance to do so, and time is running out.
