Thinking of buying that certain someone special an Atari 2600 for Christmas? Or a TurboGrafx-16? How about you support a great cause while you do so?
The last time I was back home in Connecticut, my parents and I pulled out a whole mess of doubles out of the ol' Game|Life Archives, and we're selling them on eBay and donating 100% of the proceeds to Child's Play. Every dime you spend on these classic pieces of history will go straight to children's hospitals around the world. What better reason to get into a bidding war with someone over this old Atari 2600?
Five consoles total are up for auction: An Atari 2600 with 52 cartridges and all the necessary hookups, a TurboGrafx-16, an Atari 5200, a Sega Genesis 2, and an Odyssey 2. Each system comes with at least a couple of games and has been tested and works!
Also, if you're in the San Francisco area, remember that Wednesday night is Funde Razor, a Rock Band party where you can donate even more cash to help sick kids and their families.
