But first, it makes the Light Gun Controller shoot you directly in the eye.

@Necarch  
And your display has a image of Sparkles permanently burnt in.

You put the cartridge in and it bricks your system.

Interesting, I doubt I would have anywhere to put the darned thing, I still need to motivate myself to put my Nintendo Wii up. I also need to find someone to repair my original Nintendo Gameboy…

@BarryFromMars
 
Gotta stress though, finding these in flea markets and whatnot really did dry up around 2012 - 2013 if going by the Retrogaming Roundtable Finds threads are of any significance. They’ll still show up on occasion, though.

@Ping_chan
 
They’re really not that expensive in yard sales and flea markets if you find one that’s not from a reseller and it’s not the original heavy sixer variety from 1977. I have 3 2600s, one needed electronics cleaner in a switch or two but that’s it. I paid $20 for that one last year, $3 for a 4 switch version last year and $25 for a Sears version in 2013 / 2014. I had at least 7 more but those were from 2003 - 2010, before collecting really went mainstream and finds mostly dried up.
 
Only problems with a 2600 now are:
 
1: Hooking a 70s or early 80s console up to modern TVs; this is why both video modifications (composite, s video, rgb) and these plug in adapters exist:
 

 
Problem 2: Light gun games for 70s - early 2000s TVs probably won’t work on modern TVs.
 
Problem 3: Sometimes, with age, 2600s need capacitors replaced. No big deal if you know soldering irons.
 
Alternatively, get an Atari 7800. Most 2600 games are compatible with it if they fit in the cartridge slot (some even if they barely fit, knowing some of the weird cartridge shapes) and you get a few extra 7800 titles this way. 7800s had a special power adapter that no other system had, though. Maybe someone has a mod to get around that too.

@redactedpony  
Mine had one, it had this crazy bug zapper game.  
I wish I still had that Atari…

What DBFD said.

@BigBuggyBastage  
But is Sparkles!™ better than E.T.? Will we find zillions of these at a landfill in ~30 years?

Either way, the answer to your second question is “yes, because she will have buried them all there herself”.

I had an Atari 2600 when I was a tot, and I didn’t even know it had light gun games.
 
Google, however, tells me otherwise.

@BigBuggyBastage  

@Dirty Bit  
Being poor is illegal thanks to Sparkles!, so cost won’t be an issue.

@BigBuggyBastage
 
Who knows? Maybe Sparkles will use some surefire advertisement to convince her consumers that won’t certainly involve holding them at gunpoint to buy her game.

 
Whoever did that, you made my day.
 
@Dirty Bit  

 
Dammit, you beat me to it! XD

Nice! That’s based on the second cart label design (the first one didn’t have pictures).

A classic, by POOT Inc.

I’ll bet this is as fun as Pong.
 
…Or E.T.

Wow, does that take me back… haven’t seen an Atari cartridge in forever.

Now where’s my Atari?
