8-Bit Micros: Atari 2600 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bunjil: I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

             - Cache Owner unable to maintain cache 
             - No response from the cache owner.
             - No cache to find or log to sign.
             - It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
             - Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

This is a series of caches I will be deploying that will focus on one of my favorite passions: 8-bit computers. I'm releasing the caches in order of my acquisition of these machines - not necessarily in order they were released. 


This is my first ever cache, so please give me some feedback and advice if anything is amiss.

The Atari 2600.

Released in 1977 by Atari inc and originally named the Atari VCS (Video Computer System) it was later renamed the Atari 2600 after it's part name CX2600.

When launched in Australia the Atari sold for AUD$200 -the equivalent of AUD$796 in today's money (when adjusted for inflation) and shipped with two joysticks and a Combat cartridge. 

The Atari 2600 was wildly successful, and during much of the 1980s, "Atari" was a synonym for video games in general.

The Atari 2600 was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York in 2007. In 2009, the Atari 2600 was named the second greatest video game console of all time by IGN, who cited its remarkable role as the console behind both the first video game boom and the video game crash of 1983, and called it "the console that our entire industry is built upon."

The co-ordinates will bring you to a lovely little park off Duggan Street, you are looking for a nano container which has been camouflaged, you will need to bring your own pen.
