I got my Atari out after over 12 years of dormancy with an extra surprise!

My Dad stuck it up in the loft when I was about 5 years old and have been pestering him a lot for him to let me get it back out again, I wasn't sure which model I had as I just didn't remember, Then got a shock when I opened the box they had been dormant in for over 10 years.

I had TWO Atari's, A 2600 and a 7800, I only remembered one. I likely never saw the 2600 as I probably wasn't born and by the time I was the 7800 was about instead.

I was also surprised slightly when I found I had Ms. Pac Man rather than normal Pac-Man not that much of a difference but oh well the original would have been nicer. I also found one of the biggest games of my younger years that I never mentioned before because I couldn't remember the bloody name, Barnyard Blaster! I hear it wasn't that popular though. Its just a little lightgun game nothing to amazing but at 5 years of age I kind of loved it.

Anyone got any niche games to recommend? I'll get the obvious ones when I get a chance (Space Invaders and the like) but any others out there I may not have heard of?

Anyway I've got a room to tidy and a box of nostalgia to go through so see ya!
