I got a cheap Atari 2600 console, with a bunch of joysticks and games. However the Atari only has RF output, which modern TV sets and monitors don't have. But with a bit of component snipping, desoldering and only two resistors and one transistor, you can build a composite video output into your Atari 2600. I have the black "Vader" variant. The woodgrain versions and Junior will have slightly different mods.
I also played a bunch of the games I got with the machine. And though they are primitive by today's standards, they are quite a lot of fun. Remember that the Atari dates back to the late 70s and has only 128 bytes(!) of RAM!
Components used:
1x 3.3k Ohm resistor
1x 2.2k Ohm resistor
1x 2N 3904 transistor
a bit of perfboard
some copper stranded wire
3x RCA / cinch jacks (only two needed, audio is mono)
