I know I’m probably one of a very few people to really, *really* care, but I cannot express how excited I was to find a 2600 cartridge with Thai text — ไทยนิยม; “Thai Niyom”— hacked into the game copyright. See my pinned post for where to find more details…

One of my most favorite things is to show people something that they've likely never seen before. You definitely don't see an Atari 2600 Jr in a white shell, clone or otherwise, every day. (Yes, it's a clone.)

Can I cram some potentially last-day content onto this site? Let's try! How about a virtual unboxing (with a history lesson)? Here's the utterly gorgeous and beyond scarce 冒險家「銀河號」(Adventurer "Galaxy") 2600-compatible from Funvision.

Of most note is the Funvision-branded TIA chip. This is not the only console in which this chip appears, but... again, you may have to follow me elsewhere to get the rest of that story!

Anyway, if this is it... it's been fun! Hopefully this isn't it, because I'm nowhere near done with my wild world of Atari collecting. But yeah, if we're at the end here, hopefully this was a fun thread to go out on.
