Atari 2600, with AC adapter and iconic joystick controller.

Does the 2600 have a hardwood finish? You are correct sir!

Video game consoles these days may not have a sense of home decor, but some computer companies still believe in the aesthetics of wood paneling.

At its release, the 2600 sold for $199. In today's coin, that's $696. In comparison, the launch model of PlayStation 3 cost only $599. Prices are coming down!

As soon as users figured out that the Atari 2600 could play more games than just Pong, the 2600 became massively successful. It went from selling 250,000 consoles in 1977 to 1 million units in 1979.
