ATARI 2600 WOODY
The Atari 2600, initially branded as the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS) from its release until November 1982, is a home video game console developed and produced by Atari, Inc.
Released in September 1977, it popularized microprocessor-based hardware and games stored on swappable ROM cartridges, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F in 1976. The VCS was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge—initially Combat and later Pac-Man.

History
One of the very first games consoles I owned as a child was the Atari 2600 woody. This has now become a true classic and still retains its value in history as a ground breaking console as well as a revival in financial terms.
Alot of yesterday’s technology costs more than when it was new. I remember having a large box full of Atari joysticks as we went through these like a hot knife through butter. Even though the graphics are basic compared to todays standards, the games, gameplay and memories are uncomparable.
One of my favourite cartridges was COMBAT.

COMPOSITE VIDEO MOD
This modification to the Atari motherboard involved disconnecting the RF modulator and installing this pcb and making mods to some of the resistors.
The end result is a modification that allows you to use your Atari 2600 on modern tv sets via a scart connector.
This also improves the picture quality to a more sharper image.

Summary
I am unable to put a number of hours I spent on this console as a child but it was a lot!
The graphics were very basic, but at the time the game play and imagination were all you needed, and as we found out, and endless supply of joysticks.
We had so much fun on this console.
