Currently have I think 3 or 4 2600s one being the black vader model the rest are the "jr" type. Also have the compumate keyboard attachment.

A 7800, an XEGS, a couple of lynxIIs, a 1040STE with 4meg ram and colour monitor and a 520STfm with its own colour monitor too.

I've got a couple of 2600's (both CX and junior), a 7800, an ST and an XE, all in their original boxes. Oh, yeah, also an Atari 600XL (but no box, unfortunately). I love the XE the most with it's really late 80's pastel tones and detachable keyboard. Did you know that that the XE uses all XL carts and peripherals? You can even hook up an XL tape drive to play the huge range of cassette games on the pastel beast! Still after the infamous 5200 and I'm not really interested in the Lynx (never really liked handhelds). I also love the 7800 - it looks so cool with its spartan austerity that I always keep it on high rotation on my games table.

Look Brad, it's not that I don't like the actual games, it's teh handheld units themselves with their itty-bitty screens and tinny sound. Chip's Challenge is a cool game on the Lynx but I'd rather play it on my big LCD! I've got a few GBA games but I never use the GBA itself. one of my favourite pieces of kit is the Game Cube Game Boy Player. Alot of those GBA games (even the new ones) are pure retro-style 16-bit fun! Take Metroid Fusion for example.
